What is the best white gel pen? Let’s find out! Watch me do a head-to-head white gel pen comparison to figure out once and for all who makes the best white gel pen. I compare 4 popular gel pen brands, including Sakura Gelly Roll, Uni-Ball Signo, Pentel Milky Pop and Arteza, based on their opacity, flow, pricing and availability. I also tested them using white gel pen on black paper to be able to better see the results.
Spoiler Alert - I was surprised at the outcome!

Good suggestion. I have several tricks I use for coloring with gel pens on top of colored pencil. It can be very hard to get those little roller balls to glide over a waxy surface. I teach that in our new workshop series on our website.

Hey Jennifer i just wanted to being something to your attention real quick. The milky pop was 1 of the original pastel gel pens sets you could buy LATE 1990s & EARLY 2000s. I still have many of my original Milky gel pens from when i was in high school (1998-2003) Thank u very much for this. Back then milky had a big scratchy miss in them. They worked tho. Once Gelly Roll came out, many people didn't use Milky. I also have Gelly Rolls that still work from way back then. At least 20 years ago.

UNIBALL Signo white impo. Been using these for SOOO long! (before they even became a thing?! More than 10 years) I journal a lot, and the REMINENCE gel pens are Fantastic!! I found them at my local craft store in Canada (DeSerres) they come in wht, blk, gold, silver, bronze, and copper only, but are hands down the bee's knees! a bit pricey, but worth it! As I said I use them for journaling. It is the smooth laydown, no skipping and the flow is unbelievable... when they are at the near end, is when they skip, telling me, time to get a new one. (I don't like the scratchy feeling when I am journalling) I don't know why gelly rolls have never been even a contender for me since day one? (BUT, I did enter... I have hope, I guess because so many people advocate them! Could be because I tested them with the old formula?) Thank You for this vid, always fun to watch. And I love your puppy Jennifer!!!

@ellariel7457 3 жыл бұрын

Great video, thank you! Since you've opened the door to non-gel options, here are a couple I've found recently you might enjoy trying. I've included the product names and their descriptions "according to Blick." Hope this helps! Zig Fudebiyori Pigment Brush Pen Featuring highly-opaque milky white pigment ink, the ZIG Fudebiyori Pigment Brush Pen is ideal for brush lettering and illustrating on dark paper or blending and softening by layering over other colors. (Just purchased, haven't tried) Edding Soft White Pastel Pen The Edding Soft White Pastel Pen is the ultimate answer to painting and writing in white, as well as creating infinite tones. The pen contains waterbased, pigmented ink that produces light, semi-transparent white effects, creates white dots, and looks great on dark papers. Artists have complete control over the intensity of the color - color once to create a light-semi-transparent tone, allow to dry, then color again to intensify the tone and increase the opacity (Only used a bit so far, but with good results. It reminds me of a more robust, better-functioning version of the old Picket Fence Distress Marker, if you remember those). P.S. Since you say you're new to Gelly Roll white 05 and 10 ... in my experience, 10 will never betray you. Seems like that giant ball just doesn't much allow for clogs. The 05, though? Beware! Old or new, they seem to live to desiccate & die. But your good results with 08 were nice to see! Also, the gold logo added to cap is because I think they've technically reclassed them as Moonlite. Also, on the Uni-ball language/labeling question ... I *think* that the English language labels are for the US/world market, and the Japanese labels (obviously) for the home crowd in Japan. The thing is, I've always had "dry up" problems with the ones purchased domestically- but it stopped cold once I started taking care to buy the Japanese pens from Japanese suppliers. I don't know the reason & YMMV - maybe something happens in shipping containers? Or maybe they're really a little different somehow..Either way, I'm sold. Hope this helps

Thanks for all the advice. Sounds like you’re a pen nerd like me. So many fun things to learn about and try. I would love to travel to Japan some day and spend some serious time and money in their art and stationery stores.

Like you said, nothing is perfect all the time, but I have found Gelly Rolls don't dry up as fast as Uni, their nib variety work better than the Uni variety ( considering Uni other colors here), and the price is better. Darn thing is waiting for any gel to dry, did you notice all the white on your hand? The fine white gelly roll is good for journalers that are filling in appointments or thoughts and don't want to take away from the more bold artsy decorations on their page.

I constantly have white on my hands when I’m working with white gel pens and paint pens. I am always cleaning the tips on my thumbs and doing smearing and blending effects. So glad white doesn’t stain!! 😂

Hey Jennifer and Steve, I now the shows over but I think I found a 72set, of the Star-Joy, off ebay. hope i dont get burned , there was one more listed ,with the seller of ,Sanley Shop. wish me luck! also when i find a picture to color, I copy it to now card stock and not use the book.

Like always, tests like this can be very subjective. Also, be careful to make sure the reviewer is being as objective as possible...some are sent products for free from companies (and then they provide affiliate links) and this can skew the results in a positive way so that they will get more products in the future from that company and more affiliate sales. It’s the reality of this business and why we usually don’t accept free products from companies.

Also...all 4 pens were very white. The point of the video was to compare them to each other and see who was the whitest. I think all 4 would work great for most artists and colorists.

I had issues with Arteza Customer Service. I ordered a 60 set of tube watercolors around Black Friday. I know it was a crazy shipping time but it took at least 3 weeks to get them. Then when I got the box in the mail and opened it, it was a pair of shoes!!! Yes, it came from Arteza. Evidently at the warehouse someone put the wrong item in my box. SHOES??? Anyway, I called CS and she said "oh yes, that happens occasionally. We'll send you the paints you ordered." So I waited another 3 weeks. No offer of a free pen or tube of paint or anything. I felt like it was not my fault that I got shoes instead of paints and had to wait 6 weeks to get what I ordered. Would have expected more from Arteza for their error. I do like the paints now that I have them and they told me to keep the shoes or donate them.
