The Pentel EnerGel is the workhorse gel pen. Its intensely pigmented ink is smooth, crisp, and fast drying, which makes it especially useful for left-handed writers. Keep reading to learn more about the Pentel EnerGel.
EnerGel ink also dries very quickly, so it won’t smudge as easily as other gel inks. The JetPens team always recommends EnerGel Gel Pens to left-handed writers who tend to smear their writing.
EnerGel ink isn’t very water resistant, so be careful not to spill water on your notes.
The dry time and water test in the image above were created on the 80 gsm Rhodia DotPad. Inks tend to take longer to dry on Rhodia than on more absorbent papers like printer paper. For the water test, we allowed the writing sample to dry for fifteen minutes before soaking it in water.
The EnerGel comes in capped and retractable versions. Most models have rubber grips with embossed, wave-like patterns that make them easy to grasp and comfortable to hold.
