    Hi

    When far from computer I like to make notes on the future posts in the notepad. I like drawing with the stabilo pens. However, I hate carrying the full case of those with me. Does anybody know where to buy a multi-color pen, that can write with a similar quality and have several (3-4) switchable colors.

    Best regards,
    Artem.

    Actually first I'd like to figure out if such pens exist at all :)

    I know about normal multicolor pens, but haven't seen any multi-color gel pens.

    Tried - it didn't help. Search results are always full with sets of different color pens.

    Then English is not my native language and writer's tools are not my usual talk subject. So I might be just unable to clearly tell search engine what I am looking for.

    What terms do native English speakers for these multi-color devices?

    Careful about the double posting. It is against the rules. You can always use the [​IMG] button if you need to add to your last post.

    I think your search terms are fine. I would probably be searching for changeable (or switchable) multi-color gel pen. Maybe you are just looking for a product that is not very common... ;)

    Good luck with your search. :D

    If you only wanna buy only 1 or a few I would suggest you to walk into stationary shop instead of looking for it from the internet.:D I think i have seen some but not really sure those are ball pen or gel pen though.

    Probably I am just too lazy to go browsing real shops :)
    At some point I will probably have to do it, but, you know, it is not THAT important, just nice to have tool, while Friday shopping is already quite tireful just with buying something to eat :)
