Ballpoint Pens

About

Why the ballpoint endures Ballpoint ink is thick and oil-based, so it dries the instant it touches paper, never smudges and outlasts almost any other pen. It is the one type that writes cleanly on carbon-copy and duplicate forms, which is exactly why it stays the default in offices and schools across New Zealand. The two choices that matter First, retractable or capped: a retractable clicks out one-handed with nothing to lose, while a capped pen is simpler and usually cheaper. Second, the tip width, with 1.0mm medium as the everyday line, 0.7mm a little finer, and 0.5mm for neat small writing. For a wetter, smoother feel, the gel pens and rollerball pens ranges are worth a look. Refill, don't replace A good ballpoint barrel is worth keeping. When it runs dry, a matching refill costs less than a new pen and cuts waste, as long as the refill fits your model.
