those new gel pens seem to be better at not smudging...I also just got a new liquid pencil (it can't be erased-so why is it a pencil?), anyway...I like those.
Liquid pencil??? Who makes them???? It seems to be the gel pens I am having a problem with...............I like the way they write but they are smearing
Nevermind...I guess they do smear before the "ink" dries.
Bic makes the pencil...it's called a Z4. Looks just like a liquid pen/highlighter.

Gel pens should not be used for charting..the ink is NOT permanent. Seen it run too many times on the MARS when a drop of water hits it...even days later!

Plain old ballpoints work just fine. Some rollerballs also.
