But if you just want a nicer pen than a plastic Papermate, a Parker Jotter can take a gel refill as well as the usual (pretty good) included ballpoint, and I think the Schmidt EasyFlow 9000 is an incredibly good hybrid refill that fits the Parker. I do think everyone should try a fountain pen-Platinum Pretty has a good rep and I personally have a couple of Pilot Petit1’s that write very well. If you want to experiment, has a few variety packs for different kinds of pens, different colours, and so on. A lot of people swear by the very low pressure needed to get a flow of ink, and the refillable ones require only ink, not a whole reservoir-and-ball refill like other kinds of pens, so arguably they are the most environmentally friendly. They are a world of their own, with cartridges, converters, piston-fill, vacuum-fill, nibs of steel, gold, or even titanium, ranging from $5 to tens of thousands and more. They can be very smooth.įountain pens can vary a lot, from scratchy, hard-to-start, miserable experiences, to a nearly friction-free bliss of beautiful colours. Hybrids, most famously the Jestream, use some oil, but a thinner formulation than a ball point.
Gels will usually have a more lubricated, smooth feel compared to a rollerball or ballpoint. Rollerballs will give you a typically darker, more consistent, clean line, but can bleed through cheaper paper. However they put up more resistance when you write, and often the line can be kind of inconsistent, skipping or leaving an empty space inside the line.
