3 Most Popular Types Of Pens

Modern times have produced a plethora of pens. And stationery stores today has a much wider range of beautiful pens to offer. Hence, most people don't particularly care about what type of pen they write with, but given that the difference between an amazing pen and an average one is just a few bucks, perhaps they should. A good Pen is one that just about anyone can afford and if you are into daily writing, it just adds to better experience. And unfortunately, if it happens that the pen you picked up doesn't make it to your “Like” list, you are only down by a few bucks-it's not the end of the world.


Story, has a vast collection of the most popular types of pen in use today. The most popular types are the following:


1. Ballpoint Pens: Ballpoint pens came into existence in the late 19th century and has rightfully earned the title of being the workhorse of the pen world. Designed to create a better and smoother way of dispensing ink-the ballpoint pen came with a rolling ball at the tip of the pen to transfer the ink to the paper. Oil-based ink solutions are used in ballpoints. The plus side to using this pen is that the ink dries quickly on the page. To add to this, it neither bleeds through much nor dries out in the pen itself. 

2. Rollerball Pens: Unlike ballpoints, Rollerball pens use water-based ink. Owing to which the writing is much smoother and finer. Also, this gives a more permanent mark, and leaves the user with a smooth writing experience with the least effort. They come in a varied range of colors.

3.  Fountain Pens: Modern day fountain pens use ink cartridges, so they seamlessly blend in the convenience of the modern day dye-based inks with the silk smooth writing experience of the pointed nib. These pens bring with them a status symbol. They serves not just as a pen but also as a classic piece of art.

At Story, Kolkata's favorite stationery shop you will find pen and ink from brands like Fisher Space, Lamy, Parker, Pennline, Rubinato, Sailor, Sheaffer, Swiss Military and Waterman to name a few.
