Why can I see two colors when I write with my Gelly Roll Shadow® pen?
It may be that the ink is not the issue, but rather the type of paper you are writing on. The contrasting colors (i.e. pink, blue, green etc.) will only show up if the Shadow pen is used on a porous or fibrous paper. The silver ink may “blend” with the other color IF the pen is used on a slick or glossy paper. So before giving up, please test the pen again. This time try binder paper or even toilet paper to see if there are two ink colors in the pen. The silver ink should remain in a fairly narrow area, and the colored ink should spread out and be noticeable.
