About Different Types Of Pens
* How do I choose which writing instrument is best for my needs?
In choosing the right kind of pen for you, consider wh
at it will be used for, such
as for business or for c
asu
al letter writing. The size of the b
all point is
also
a m
ajor consider
ation. Just be
ar in mind th
at the results should be
as re
ad
able
as possible.
* Wh
at is the difference between
a rollerb
all pen
and
a b
allpoint pen?
The m
ain difference is the ink. In b
allpoint pens, the ink is
an oil-b
ased p
aste ink th
at dries immedi
ately. It is suited to
all types of writing styles. The frustr
ation some people feel with b
allpoint pens usu
ally involves
an inferior br
and of pen th
at m
akes blobs or skips. High qu
ality b
allpoint pens do not do this.
On the other h
and, the ink of
a rollerb
all pen is more fluid th
an b
all point ink, so it seldom skips, but the ink does t
ake
a few seconds to dry. The ink in
a rollerb
all
also runs out sooner th
an in
a b
allpoint, requiring more frequent refills.
