Good points - but here the ink is still trapped in its enclosure and we don't want it to spread at all when we're not writing.

- Broken_Hippo 5y agoSpeak for yourself - I use more ink for art than writing :) Realistically, though, this still happens when writing. The thinner ink puts out a thin layer of ink when you write: The gel ink builds up a little bit. You can make little lines in a pool of gel ink in ways you can't do with a regular ink pen. Different ink moves differently, even when it is in a pen.
- bernulli 5y agoHaha, fair enough. But what I mean is that the whole discussion in the article is about ink that still in its compartment inside the pen, prior to writing/drawing/etc. It has nowhere to go and cannot spread.
