Will this keep gel pens from smearing?

I can't answer that specific question, but I know that I made a piece of "artwork" with ink and I believe gel pens. I sprayed it with the Krylon, and up to the time I mailed it, everything was in good shape without smearing. I make my own cards, so my "artwork" was on the front of a card. I never asked the person who got the card how it came out. But the card was dry and nothing came off onto my hands when I handled it.

Yes it does. I have bought around 5 such notebooks over the past 2 years and have written on them exclusively with fountain pens, without issue. In comparison to other notebooks such as Moleskin, there is never any bleed-through or smudges.

I use a regular ball point pen - not the gel type. I let it dry a few minutes.

It doesn't scratch the screen protector I have. You have to hold the pen just right to have your writing flow. I tried a rubber tip type but didn't work as well with the screen protector

No. No smears, but that will probably be affected by the type of ink used as well.

If the pens are not too thick, the pouch will probably hold them without trouble. The pouch will look "filled", of course, but you'll be able to roll it and tie it (i.e. close it).

I've never had trouble with smearing. There's a protective sheet to attach to each of the printed sheets.

YES!! Parker makes a gel refill. It won't write underwater or upside down but it down writes thick and dark.

I don't know about dry ink pads, but I use a gel pen to write on it and it doesn't smear. it is a great tape. tears easily, holds well. tough tape. almost as tough as duct tape.

Yes, this pen has a great flow and leaves dark full marks like a gel pen from heavy to almost no pressure, but dries nearly instantly. In my experience, gel pens are prone to smearing due to excessive flow, which is not a problem with the uni-ball Jetstream. This pen glides smoothly like a gel pen as well.

Haven't noticed smearing. Will sometimes skip when first applied, or on slick paper.

It is strange that the Sharpie is smearing. Are you using a traditional, alcohol based Sharpie? Are you letting it dry before touching it? Are you trying to apply something over it? You might consider the Sakura Identi-Pen as an alternative. We have had good luck using it on this film.

They do not smear on paper or porous surfaces , but do on non-porous surfaces such as plastic, metal, painted wood, etc.If you leave the pen in one place, it will bleed through to the other side, but in normal writing, it won't (on regular paper). If you are using very thin paper (tissue paper, onion skin paper, etc.) it will bleed through, just like any other marker.

Yes. I prefer gel too. This pen writes like a gel pen, but the ink doesn't smear or run like ink. That's why I love it!

Short answer: no. There is not enough insulation. The padding is good to protect the pens from damage though.

It's elastic and should be no problem - however, it will probably stretch out the elastic so thinner pens may be secured as well. If the Fisher is the pen of choice, then it's not an issue.

Yes. I have both Tombow and Tim Holtz Distress Markers. As a tip for you. Markers keep both ends of the pen full of ink if you store them on their sides. I have used double backed tape adhered to a narrow piece of cardboard to the bottom front of the pen holder after laying it on it's side. This gives it a slight lean towards the back. This keeps the pens in place. I have 9 of these and I have stacked them 3 high and 3 wide using double backed tape to hold them together. Works great for me. You may come up with a more clever idea. Just remember that the pens work best when stored on their side.
