In the 1980s, Sakura invented the original gel pen with the first gel-based ink. Gelly Roll pens remain a favorite for their creamy, vibrant colors and reliable gel ink. This holiday season, Sakura offers ideal gifts for artists and crafters, including markers, ink pens, and tools—perfect for creative and Diy projects. Gelly Roll gel ink is waterproof, fade resistant, and chemical proof, great for checks, legal documents, scrapbooks, hand lettering, crafts, and comics. The smooth, colorful ink won t bleed through paper.
