Rollerball pens create smooth lines with free-flowing ink. They blend the convenience of a ballpoint pen with the more luxurious feel of a fountain pen, which is why they are one of the most popular pens today.
The main difference between a rollerball and other types of pens is the ink. Rollerballs pens use liquid-based inks, either gel ink or liquid ink. Their liquid-based ink risks drying out when they don't have a cap, so rollerball pens should always come with a lid. The ink does mean that they write slightly darker, but the ink still doesn’t bleed through the page.
Rollerball pens are often used by school children once their handwriting is practised and neat, so if your little learner is becoming confident in their writing then why not try one out with them? Fluid and flowing, the best rollerball pen will have every letter and word looking polished.
