FAQ

▶ What is the difference between a rollerball pen and a ballpoint pen?

The rollerball uses water-based liquid ink that flows more smoothly, while the ballpoint uses thicker, oil-based ink. The rollerball offers richer, more saturated lines, smoother writing, and superior comfort. The ballpoint is more practical for official documents because it dries instantly. The rollerball requires a cap to prevent drying out.

▶ Are rollers suitable for left-handed people?

Rollerballs take a few seconds to dry completely, so left-handed people need to be careful not to smudge. There are refills with quick-drying ink specifically for left-handed users. Alternatively, ballpoint pens are more suitable for left-handed users.

▶ How long does a refill last?

A standard refill lasts approximately 2-4 km of writing, equivalent to several months of daily use. Lifespan depends on the pressure applied, the type of paper, and frequency of use. Premium refills from brands like Visconti or Caran d'Ache offer greater capacity and superior quality.

▶ How do you store a rollerball pen?

Always store the rollerball with the cap tightly closed to prevent the ink from drying out. Hold the pen horizontally or with the tip pointing upward. If you won't be using the rollerball for extended periods, wipe the tip with a damp cloth before storing. Avoid extreme temperatures.
