Product Information
Full details
The Edding 2185 Gel Pen Set is designed for creatives and everyday users seeking to add a touch of metallic shine to their writing and crafts. Its key benefit is the smooth, water-based gel ink that delivers vibrant, consistent lines, especially on dark surfaces. A potential caveat is that the water-based ink may not be as permanent or smudge-proof as other ink types on certain materials.

FAQs
What shades are included in this set?
This specific wallet set of 5 includes shades 053, 054, 073, 074, and 079, offering a selection of metallic tones.
Is the ink waterproof?
The Edding 2185 uses water-based gel ink, which means it is not waterproof and can smudge if it gets wet.
Can I use these pens on regular white paper?
Yes, you can use them on white paper, but the metallic effect will be less pronounced compared to using them on dark surfaces. They will still write smoothly.
What is the stroke width of these pens?
The stroke width for the Edding 2185 gel pens is 0.7mm, providing a fine and consistent line.
How do I maintain the pens for longevity?
Store pens horizontally or tip-down, always replace the cap after use, and gently clean the nib with a damp cloth if it becomes clogged.
Are there other Edding 2185 sets available?
Yes, Edding offers the 2185 series in various set configurations, including different quantities and color assortments, such as sets with standard and metallic-white options.
What is the housing material of the pen?
The housing material for the Edding 2185 gel roller is plastic.
Troubleshooting
Pen not writing or skipping
Ensure the cap was properly replaced after the last use. Gently wipe the nib with a damp cloth to remove any dried ink. If the issue persists, try scribbling on a scrap piece of paper to reactivate ink flow.
Ink smudging
Allow the ink to dry completely before touching or handling the paper. This may take longer on smoother or non-absorbent surfaces. Avoid rubbing the written areas.
Metallic effect not visible
The metallic sheen is most apparent on dark colored paper or cardstock. Try using the pens on a darker background for optimal results. Ensure the pen has been properly stored and the ink is flowing correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Edding 2185 Gel Pens are ready to use straight out of the wallet. Simply remove the cap and begin writing.
Compatibility: These pens are best suited for use on paper and cardstock. They are particularly effective on dark colored paper where the metallic ink's shine is most pronounced. While the ink is water-based, testing on other surfaces is recommended if not using paper.
Care:
- Storage: Store the pens horizontally or with the tips pointing down to ensure consistent ink flow.
- Cap: Always replace the cap after use to prevent the nib from drying out.
- Cleaning: If the nib becomes clogged with dried ink, gently wipe it with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh solvents.
- Drying Time: Allow sufficient drying time, especially on non-absorbent surfaces, to prevent smudging.
