d expelled through said tip in a lovely, smooth motion that lets the ink dry almost immediately. However, the spring-loaded nature of the fibre-tips does not agree with everybody’s writing style and the heavy-handed can often find the finer tips “scratchy”. Fibre tip pens can usually take rollerball refills and don’t run dry as quickly, but the writing process can take a while to get used to; by which point you’ve probably given up and grabbed a biro. In terms of promotion, I think most people would be confused by what you’ve given them should you chose a fibre tipped pen because, let’s face it, we’re all expecting a ballpoint. When they press down and find the nib disappearing into the end of the pen, the shock might just be enough to have them tossing it aside, along with your contact details. These pens might work impress artsy-people though, since they are used in drawing more frequently than most other kinds of pen.

For the less patient but equally pen-interested consumer, there are fibre-tipped pens. These items of Japanese invention are a fantastic compromise between the good looking, water-based inks of the rollerball pen, but the swift drying of the ballpoint pen. The ink is absorbed in a spring-loaded fibrous-tip an
