Ballpoints

When you think of a ballpoint pen you may think of a simple pen with a rubber grip, a plastic pen with a company logo, or maybe a nicer pen in metal with your name engraved on it. There are several different ballpoints, but they have one thing in common – the ink coming out of the nib. What kind of ink it is defines what kind of pen it is. Both the classic ballpoint pen and the more modern rollerball pen has the same nib – a small ball that rolls and puts ink on paper when you write. The ballpoint pen contains oil-based ink, which means that you will have to push it a little extra, meanwhile, the rollerball pen contains water based ink which means that the ink flows simpler from the nib. If you are wondering what kind of pen that it is that you are holding, just write with it and that will answer your question.

The key of finding the right pen for you is to is to try out some different ones!
