Information Guide:
Ball Point Pens: ball pens are made with an oil-based ink which can resist extreme temperatures and can write on most surface types. The main characteristic of a ball pen is the writing length – these highly efficient pens generally write between 1500 and 3000 metres. | |
Rollerballs (Ink Store): the traditional type of rollerball feeds ink to the ball from a fibre reservoir soaked in ink. This system uses gravity to ensure ink flow and is relatively simple. There are two main types of rollerball tip: Cone Tipped - this tip type offers great protection to the ball and is ideal for high volumes of writing. Needlepoint Tipped - reduced friction between the ball and the tip produces very free flowing writing. This tip type is often preferred for detailed writing work. | |
Liquid Ink (Free Ink): is a water-based ink. Free ink rollers use an ink delivery system that ensures a regular flow and allows you to see the remaining ink level in the barrel. | |
Gel Ink: offers smooth and bright colours, as it not only lubricates the ball, but places a greater amount of ink onto the page. | |
Fineline Pens: ideal for precision work and stencilling as the ink is laid down in a smaller line width. Fineliners are usually in a fibre tip or plastic tip format. However, there are some fineline rollerballs available. | |
Fibre Tipped Pens: tips of fine nylon and other synthetic fibres ground to a point. The ink is fed to the tip from a soft fibrous reservoir being drawn by capillary forces. Fibre tips provide smooth writing and a consistent line. | |
Fountain Pens: can deliver some of the smoothest writing performance of all pen modes. Ink flow is controlled by a precision engineered feed and collector system. | |
Highlighters: filled with water-based ink. Chisel tips allow for both broad and thin lines. Free ink highlighters usually have a more even ink flow, and the remaining ink level is always visible. | |
Marker Pens: are available as two types of nibs, chisel or bullet. Chisel tip gives wide and thin lines and bullet a consistent line width. Many specialist types include CD/DVD, OHP, industrial & drywipe markers. | |
Pencils: ‘leads’ contain no lead whatsoever. They are made of a mixture of graphite and clay to produce a strong fused stick. Conventionally the centre point for grading is HB; this stands for Hard and Black, and has become the most popular degree. | |
Mechanical Pencils: offer an alternative to the traditional woodcase version and can be refilled as necessary. Sharpening is not required. | |
