Liquid Ink Writers


A Quick History of Ballpen Writing

1943    Ballpoint refill is introduced
The ink is thick, kind of waxy and needs a firm touch. Convenience is unparalleled.
1963    Rollerball technology debuts. The ink is more fluid and it lays down much easier than ‘standard’ ballpoint ink. A ceramic ball improves flow.
Downsides are the limited capacity since usage increases over ‘standard’ ink
1966    Paul Fisher introduces the Space Pen gas pressurized refill
The ink flows more freely and writes on almost any surface including outer space
2012    Schmidt Technology introduces the ‘Cartridge-Rollerball-System’ commonly referred to as ink ball. Liquid fountain pen ink flows through the precisely machined ball tip. The system allows for the use of any international sized ink cartridge or with a converter reservoir. The cost to write drops dramatically as a result.
Ink lays down so easily it seems that the tip floats across the page.

Since 1945, Americans have favored the ‘ballpoint’ writing mode. Even today, 60% of ‘fine writing instruments’ are the ballpoint variety. Why? It’s cheap and convenient. But is it really the least expensive way to write with a ‘ballpoint’ tip?Ink Ball tips use a simple plug and play liquid ink cartridge. Each box of six cartridges is equal to about two ballpoint refills. A box of ink cartridges costs $3.50. Our average ballpoint sells for $7 - $11. Choose to use your ink converter and a bottle of ink and the expense drops by half again! 

Options galore! 

Choose from 31 colors of ink in cartridges or bottles.
