REALIKE Acrylic Gel Pens 12-Pack (Black, White, Gold, Silver) 0.8mm — Multi-Surface & Cricut Compatible

These acrylic gel pens combine a precise 0.8 mm steel tip with water-based, quick-dry ink formulated for stable, fade-resistant marks across paper, wood, glass, ceramic, fabric and stone. The set includes three pens of each finish — black, white, gold and silver — and works directly in Cricut Maker 4, Maker 3, Maker, Explore 4, Explore 3, Air 2 and Air without an adapter, making them useful for both machine drawing and freehand embellishing.

How do these pens perform with Cricut machines?

The REALIKE acrylic gel pens are built to fit and function inside a range of Cricut tools so you can draw detailed designs with your cutting machine. They feed consistently and offer crisp lines suited to precise lettering and decoration tasks.

• Compatible with Maker 4/3/Maker and Explore 4/3 models plus Air 2/Air
• 0.8 mm tip for controlled line width and clarity
• Works without a pen adapter in supported machines
• Designed to maintain steady ink flow during machine drawing

What surfaces can I decorate with these acrylic gel pens?

These pens are formulated for broad multi-surface use so you can apply metallic and opaque colours to many craft substrates. The water-based, acid-free ink adheres well and dries quickly, making them suitable for both textured and smooth surfaces.

• Paper, cardstock and scrapbooks for invitations and cards
• Wood and metal for personalised gifts and signage
• Glass, ceramic and stone for painted details and rock art
• Fabric accents — best for decorative use rather than heavy-wear areas

How durable and safe is the ink?

REALIKE uses a professional-grade, water-based formula that is acid-free and low odour, reducing fumes while producing stable, long-lasting marks. The ink dries quickly and resists fading under normal display conditions, but like all decorative inks, it benefits from proper sealing for heavy use or exposure.

• Water-based and acid-free for archival-friendly projects
• Low-odour formulation for comfortable indoor use
• Quick-dry properties to minimize smudging
• For extra protection on high-contact items, consider a clear sealant

What practical tips improve results with these pens?

Small technique adjustments deliver cleaner lines and longer pen life—store caps tightly, shake gently before use for metallic tones, and test on a sample surface first. For machine drawing, secure your material flat and run a test cut or draw to check alignment and pressure.

• Replace caps immediately to prevent drying
• Shake pens before use to mix metallic pigments
• Test on scrap material to confirm pressure and colour results
• Use a clear topcoat when applying to frequently handled items
