What Are Rollerball Pens?

Rollerball pens are like Ballpoint pens however there are several key differences.

Primarily in the ink.



Ballpoint pens use a thick oil-based ink, whilst Rollerball pens use a water-based ink, similar to the ink used in fountain pens. These two styles of ink act very differently to one another. Here are some of the key differences:



Oil-based inks can be thick and sticky, which will sometimes leave blobs of ink on the page or be difficult to start writing after long breaks between uses
Water-based ink is more fluid and usually provides a smoother writing experience
Oil-based inks are less prone to drying out then water-based inks so Rollerballs generally have to be capped or else the ink will dry out.
Oil-based inks generally last much longer than water-based inks; even if both pens have been stored properly


We have a bunch of our older generation Rollerballs on sale now on our website.
