Product Information
Full details
The Gelly Roll Gold Shadow Pen in Green is designed for artists, journalers, and crafters looking to add a unique, decorative flair to their work. Its primary benefit is the innovative dual-tone ink technology that produces a metallic gold center outlined in vibrant green, providing a magical, multi-dimensional effect on the page. While it is perfect for creative accents, users should note that the 0.7mm tip is optimized for decorative lettering and drawing rather than fine-point technical writing, and it requires a moment to set properly to avoid smearing while wet.

FAQs
Does the Gelly Roll Gold Shadow ink bleed through paper?
It is designed not to bleed through most common papers, though results may vary on extremely thin or low-quality newsprint.
Is this ink permanent?
Yes, the ink is archival quality, meaning it is chemically stable, waterproof, and fade-resistant once dry.
Can I use this pen for professional technical drawing?
It is better suited for decorative work. The 0.7mm tip and gel consistency are designed for artistic flair rather than precision technical drafting.
Do I need to shake the pen before use?
No, the ink is formulated for consistent flow and should not require shaking under normal conditions.
How long does it take for the ink to dry?
Drying time depends on the paper type, but generally, it is best to allow 30 to 60 seconds to ensure the ink is fully set and smudge-proof.
Troubleshooting
The ink flow is intermittent or skipping.
Hold the pen tip down for a few minutes and scribble in circles on a piece of scratch paper to clear any potential air bubbles.
The pen feels dry or won't write.
Check if the cap was left off. If it was, try writing on a piece of paper to re-initiate the ink flow; store horizontally to help the ink return to the tip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gelly Roll pen, always store it horizontally with the cap securely snapped on when not in use. This prevents the gel ink from settling or drying out at the tip. When you first use a new pen, perform a few circular motions on a scratch pad to prime the ballpoint for smooth flow. For compatibility, this pen works best on smooth, non-porous surfaces; extremely fibrous or rough paper may cause the ink to spread, reducing the clarity of the dual-tone effect. Keep the pen away from direct heat sources to prevent the ink from becoming too fluid.
