Zebra Z Grip Max Gel Pen – Review

Zebra Z Grip Max Gel Pen Black

Although gel pens are fairly recent as a product of the ’80s, they have become very popular. I usually expect them to make a bold & vibrant statement due to the viscosity of the ink.

 

The Zebra Z-Grip Max Gel Pen is retractable with a 0.7mm tip. They are available in 5 colours, for this review I’m using violet.
