Comments / Recommendations
- Good range of basic pastel colors plus gold and silver
- I would recommend considering this set if you really want pastel inks to add to a bigger more versatile set of gel pens. The pastel ink does dry nicely without appearing scratchy.
- These pens do not require any pressure to get the best out of them so if you have any fine motor, hand or arm problems these may be a suitable option
