I am a leftie, and I'm looking for a pen that won't smear as I write. Can any lefties confirm that this pen is smear-proof?

I'm a leftie, too. These pens don't smear or glob. I love them.

is this sharpie gel ink permanent?

I contactedSharpie and asked if their Gel pans are permanent, I use them for writing checks. Here is their reply. We understand that you would like to know if Sharpie S Gel is permanent just like the markers. Kindly note that they contain water-based ink unlike our permanent markers that contains alcohol-based ink which makes them permanent. Gel pens may fade on checks. We still recommend for you to use Sharpie No Smear Pens.

The picture shows the tips are medium size, so are these fine tips (as advertised) or medium (as shown)?

I have had this same issue in other products. However I ordered 0.5 and received 0.5. I think the picture is generic. Great pens as well

What country are they made in?

The box states these pens are assembled in the USA.

Best pens ever

I absolutely love these Sharpie S-Gel pens. As a nurse, I use them daily for charting and note-taking, and they’ve been extremely reliable. The fine 0.5mm tip writes smoothly and precisely, which I really appreciate when space is limited. The ink dries quickly with no smudging or bleeding, even on thinner paper. They’re comfortable to hold during long shifts and consistently perform well. These are easily my go-to pens and I’ll definitely keep buying them.

Pen is very comfortable to use. I love the 0.5 fine tip and the way the ink glides onto the paperpaper.
