Fountain Pens

What is a fountain pen?

A fountain pen is a type of writing instrument that uses liquid ink to write. The ink is stored in a cartridge or reservoir inside the pen and drawn out by pressing the nib against the paper. The nib is a metal point that comes to a point or slit, which allows the ink to flow out and onto the paper.

Fountain pens have been around for centuries and were once the preferred choice of writers and artists. Today, they are still popular among people who enjoy the art of writing or prefer the look and feel of a fountain pen. They can even make a great teacher appreciation gift.

What are the benefits of using a fountain pen?

Fountain pens offer a number of benefits over other types of writing instruments. Fountain pens provide a smooth, consistent writing experience, as the ink flows more evenly from the nib. Fountain pens also come in different nib sizes, which affects the width of the line they produce when writing. For example, users can purchase a medium or fine point.

What colors and styles of fountain pens are available?

There are affordable disposable fountain pens or cartridge-converter pens. The latter type allows users to refill the pen with ink using a converter or cartridge. Fountain pens can be purchased in different colors and metal finishes, with various ink colors.
