The more widely used type of pen, the ball point pen, is an oil based pen which automatically sends ink out from a little ball at the tip of the pen. It allows the ink to dry almost instantaneously so it doesn’t seep through paper. These pens are reliable and less messy than the fountain pen.
Then there is the gel pen. Most people get confused on what exactly is a gel pen. Well a gel pen is simply uses thicker ink than regale pens. The thickness allows for a better the ink to show up better on dark papers and on slick smooth surfaces. The only drawback of gel pens are that it uses more ink and require a more frequent refill than ballpoint pens.
Next there is the rollerball pen. These pens have a water based ink compared to the ball point pens which have oil based ink. This allows it to absorb into paper quicker and have more fluid movement across writing surfaces. This pen was developed to bridge the gap between ballpoint pens and traditional fountain pens.
