Fountain Pens |

Fountain pens are sophisticated writing utensils that require a little more know-how to fill and use. They are typically used with dye-based inks, which are contained in disposable cartridges or in refillable converters. The tip of a fountain pen is called a nib, and the size of the nib affects the flow of ink from it. Though fountain pens can be used on regular paper, a thicker paper is recommended, because the pen’s higher output of watery ink is likely to bleed through a thin page.
