Is there even a difference between gel, rollerball, and ballpoint pens?

Gel pens use water based ink, which can deliver smooth strokes and vibrant colours. Ballpoint pens use an oil based ink. Rollerball pens have ink which flows more freely, allowing thicker, finer lines than a ballpoint pen. Shop today to find your favourite!

What are the best pens for left-handed writers?

Writing as a left-hander can be a challenge, with smudges leaving your work looking messy. Although some people may consider using pencils instead, that’s not always an option—nor should it have to be! Gel or rollerball pens can be good choices for left-handers, since they have ink that dries quicker, which helps avoid smudging. Pens with quick-drying ink and a smooth ink flow are the best option.

Why use an erasable pen?

Erasable Pens can be a great choice for people who like journaling, creative writing on paper, or who want the flexibility to write something and delete it afterwards. Erasable pens also offer a pen-on-paper experience with a bit more flexibility in what sticks around after you’re done. We have pens in a number of cool colours, so you can express your sense of style with the comfort of knowing you can fix your mistakes without an ugly mess afterwards!

Why Use a Fountain Pen?

Fountain pens are a beautiful choice for many reasons, and they’re making a much-deserved comeback. These pens can be the more ergonomic choice compared with ballpoint pens, can help improve handwriting, and have a large range of customisable nibs so you can adapt your pen just how you like it. Fountain pens are refillable and can use a truly vast range of inks, so you can write in style. They’re also great for calligraphy.
