Roller-pen - modern perfection

Since the days of the wild tribes, people have recorded. The savages scratched the coals on the walls of the caves. Then they were drawn with pointed sticks on the bark of trees. Civilization is developing - writing is also developing.

Basic types of pens

In the modern world, they write everything without exception, starting from the age of 7 or even earlier. And what now only is not present: pencils, felt-tip pens, markers, wax crayons ... And the central place is occupied by its majesty "queen" the handle. And it is just as diverse. You will meet her in several types (types). They are distinguished by a writing node and are divided into:

  • Ball;
  • Feather;
  • Capillary.

In the fountain pen, the writing node is a pen. For modern pen fountain pens do not need. For them, the newest cartridges are provided. But there are also ink-filled pens. This is up to you.

In a ballpoint pen, the writing unit is a conical or needle shaped tube in which there is a ball (roller) made of hard metal or ceramics. Ballpoint pens include a gel pen and a roller handle.

The distinctive feature of the last type of handles in the ink supply system is that it is capillary. Thanks to this, the rod is easy to write, on paper there remains a beautiful and smooth pattern. But if you stay long at a point, it will spread out. There are 3 types of capillary pens :

  • Liner;
  • Isograph;
  • Rapidograph.

And what is a roller pen?

Handle the roller - this is the best kind of ballpoint pen. Its feature is that the ball is narrower. Water-based inks are less viscous. Therefore, the line on the paper is more smooth and clear. This pen practically writes itself, it does not require a strong pressure on the paper during the writing. Also, these pens have a more economical ink consumption, and it is from 3000 to 10 000 m.

Advantages of the pen-roller

The handle-roller leaves almost the same footprint as the pen. And, as everyone knows, the pen writes very beautifully. But over time it can start scratching paper (even the most expensive model). Roller will not do this.

If you run out of ink in the fountain pen and you do not use replaceable cartridges, filling such a pen is a whole process. And the ink runs out at the most inopportune moment. And in the roller-handle, replaceable rods.

The rod for the handle-roller is made of metal or polymer (plastics). On the quality of ink, both materials do not affect. The process of replacing the rod is not more difficult than that of a conventional ballpoint pen. I opened it, put it away empty, put a new one, closed it. Ready for work!

There is a huge number of manufacturers of stationery. They can be divided into 3 classes: economy class, business class and premium class. Consider the products of the three companies in class: Pilot (expensive economy), Zebra (average price policy business class) and Parker (premium class).

Handles of the company Pilot

The Pilot Company is a large, international company, it exists in the stationery market for more than 100 years. Its regional offices were opened in the 50s around the world. In 1991, Pilot came to Russia. In the Pilot line, the roller handle is presented in the Frixion series.

BL-FRP5 Frixion point - the new Pilot roller handle from this series. Accurate and easy writing this pen will give you pleasure. Ink does not spread over the paper, it dries quickly. The writing node is needle-shaped. The diameter of the rod is 0.5 mm, the thickness of the line is 0.25. The color of the case corresponds to the color of the ink. The interchangeable rod.

BL-FRO7 Frixion PRO - a unique Pilot roller handle from the "write-erase" class. In general, there are 2 types of handles "write-erase".

The peculiarity of the first is that special ink is erased with a usual eraser from the top layer of paper. But there is a significant drawback: ink is sometimes absorbed into the paper deeply and it is impossible to remove the written.

The second principle of erasure is a special "white", neutralizing the ink with which the record was made. The disadvantage is that it's impossible to make a new one on a deleted record.

Pilot two years developed the handle of the roller "write-erase". They chose a new way: their ink disappears, or rather, discolored under the influence of temperature. This is also done with an elastic band at the end of the handle. Rub - and the ink will disappear. You can do this many times. But there is one more focus for this pen. Record, erase and then cool the paper. For example, in the refrigerator, below -18 degrees Celsius. The recording will reappear. The general characteristics of such pens: the diameter of the ball - 0.7, the thickness of the line - 0.35, the color of the case - black, the ink of 3 colors. There is a replaceable rod.

Handles BL-FR-7 Frixion ball belong to the "write-erase" series. They also have a discoloring special rubber band. But their difference from the previous series is that there are more colors of ink here. General characteristics are the same, except for the color of the case: it corresponds to the color of the ink.

Zebra handle

Zebra Pen Corporation was founded as an independent company in the US in 1982. But the history of this brand began even earlier, in 1914, with the company Zebra Co. Ltd. Its founder was Mr. Ishikawa. His firm was in step with the times and in 1917 was the first to use a pump for ink pens. In 1957, the company's employees first developed a ballpoint pen.

Like all the best in our world, Parker began with a need. George Sefford Parker, 17 years old, began working at the Telegraph School in the city of Janesville, Wisconsin. The salary he received was small, which is why he took up the extra work. Parker became an agent for the sale of fountain pens. At that time, they were not of high quality. There were many complaints and refunds.

George started repairing the pens himself. And, as it turned out, he did it very well. Seeing from inside all the shortcomings of these pens, he designed his model. And already in 1889 there was the first fountain pen Parker.

Officially the company was registered in 1892, and since then Parker is a synonym for prestige and unquestionable quality.
