Iridescent innovation
The highlight of Pentel’s stand will be
its brand new Hybrid Dual Metallic gel
pen range, which marketing manager
Wendy Vickery considers to be the most
innovative writing instrument to have
entered the market for years.
She said: “Gel pens have been around
for a couple of decades. Indeed, most of
us have used one at some stage in our
lives, whether for writing Christmas cards
or for everyday use in the office. So, we’re
all familiar with the smooth writing and
rich depth of pigment ink colour they
produce. However, our new Hybrid Dual
Metallic pen is no ordinary gel pen, it’s
unique. Inspired by the natural world –
such as the aurora borealis or the sheen
on the wings of a humming bird – this
fantastic pen produces similar iridescent
effects that are nothing short of amazing.
It’s a real ‘wow!’ product”.
The Hybrid Dual Metallic writes in
different colours on different shades
of paper and, when the paper is held
to the light or at an angle, a special
combination of pigment dye and glitter
makes it possible to see two different
colours from the same pen. There are
eight pens in the range, producing a
total of 16 colours: black/metallic red,
blue/metallic green, green/metallic blue,
orange/metallic yellow, pink/metallic
pink, violet/metallic blue, gold/metallic
gold and silver/metallic silver.
