Think quick, write well

Nghĩ nhanh, viết gọn

 

Not every moment allows for meticulous attention to each word. If fountain pens embody a sense of serenity, then ballpoint pens are the dynamic companions, akin to rolling beads of ink. Perfect for those swift, decisive writing moments when time is of the essence.  

From the playful rolls of marbles through puddles by children playing on the streets, which inspired László Bíró in 1938, until now, nearly a century later, ballpoint pens have undergone countless revolutions in functionality. They enable users to write swiftly, clearly, on various surfaces and under harsh conditions—much like their other moniker, the "atomic pen." It's a testament to an invention of its time, seemingly timeless in its influence.

What is “ballpoint mechanics”?

 

The ballpoint mechanism was invented in 1888 by the American inventor John Loud, with the purpose of writing on rougher surfaces than paper, such as leather or fabric. Ballpoint pens regulate ink flow for writing through a metal ball (steel, brass, tungsten) placed at the tip.
With this mechanism, the pen is believed to be cleaner and more reliable in use compared to fountain pens or dip pens.
All three types of pens—ball-point pens, gel pens, and rollerball pens—utilize this mechanism. The distinction between each type of pen comes from the type of ink they use inside.

Ball-point pen

 

The "ball point" pens utilize oil-based ink, which dries quickly and is less prone to smudging when in contact with water. They are suitable for writing in various conditions, especially for tasks requiring frequent and rapid movement.

The pen features a relatively low ink flow, allowing for extended usage without frequent refills.

RollerBALL pen

 

Making its debut in 1963 by Ohto, Japan, this pen features water-based ink, providing a smooth writing experience with colors that are vividly expressed due to the even distribution of dye in water rather than oil. 

 

The rollerball line features ink that dries slower and is not waterproof, yet it can remain idle for extended periods and still write smoothly when used. The water-based ink flows evenly and smoothly, allowing for prolonged writing without causing hand fatigue due to excessive pressure.

Gel pen

 

First introduced in 1984 by Japan's Sakura Color, these pens feature water-based gel ink with pigment particles instead of dyes. With a wide range of colors to choose from, they are perfect for artistic endeavors or colorful note-taking.
