Think quick, write well
Not always when people have their time to scrutinize every word. If fountain pens carry a lot of “static” in them, ballpoint pens are the pens for “dynamic” life – just like rolling balls, for times when you need to write quickly and decisively.
The ball rolled through the puddles when children playing in the street inspired László Báró in 1938. For nearly a century, ball pens have gone through countless industrial revolutions to improve their functions for users to write quickly and clearly in harsh surfaces and conditions. As its other name: “atomic pen”, ball pen is a mark of contemporaneous invention, still affects our lives till now.

What is “ballpoint mechanics”?
The ballpoint mechanism was invented in 1888 by an American inventor – John Loud, with the purpose of writing on rougher surfaces such as leather or cloth. These pens have a ballpoint mechanism that releases ink through a metal ball (steel, copper, tungsten) placed at the tip of the nib.
With this mechanism, the pen is supposed to be cleaner and more reliable to use than a fountain pen or dip pen.
All 3 types of ball pens: ball-point pen, gel pen and roller-ball use this mechanism. And the difference of each type of pen comes from the type of ink used inside.

Ball-point pen
The “ball-point” pens use oil-based ink, which dries quickly and is less likely to be washed out by water, can write in a variety of conditions, especially for jobs that require fast and a lot of travel.
The pen has pretty low ink flow so you can use it for a long time.

First appeared in 1963 by Ohto manufacturer, Japan This water-based ink pen gives a smooth writing feeling with clear color as the dyes are mixed with water more evenly than with oil.
The roller-point pen has ink dries more slowly and is not water-resistant but can be written normally after being left for ages. The ink flow should be even and smooth, you can write for a long time without fatigue as you don’t need to use too much force to hold the pen.
