Ballpoint pen ink is oil-based, which makes it thicker and more viscous. This type of ink dries quickly and is less prone to smudging, making it ideal for everyday writing. In contrast, gel pen ink is water-based and contains pigments suspended in a gel, resulting in a smoother flow and more vibrant colors, but it can take longer to dry and may smudge more easily.
