| Finding the right pen |
|
If you spend a lot of time writing, comfort is also something that is going to be important. Cheaper pens are typically made out of plastic and have a basic design, while specialty pens have a more ergonomic design, with comfortable grooves for your hands to wrap around. If you're going to purchase a specialty pen, you should plan on spending some money. You'll be paying as much for the craftsmanship as much as you'll be paying for the actual ink that fills the pen.
Specialty pens can be purchased in William Penn stores throughout the country, and from our very new and exciting online catalogues! These pens often come in fancy cases that protect the pen from damage. We will even personalize your pen if you would like them to be personalized. The service is often fairly expensive and can include personalized engraving. |

| Fountain pens |
|
Fountain pens are once again gaining popularity. Fountain pens have been used for hundreds of years and can be excellent writing tools. The old-style pens not only look sharp, but can last for years. If well maintained, it will last for generations! Because the pens have become collector's items, they can be expensive to purchase. While early fountain pens were notorious for leaking, changes to the composition of the ink have largely made this a thing of the past.
Fountain pens are perceived to not be great for everyday writing, but if you enjoy writing in journals or writing letters to friends, a fountain pen can be a lot of fun and definitely much better than any other kind of pen. There are nine standard nib-sizes, or tips, with three different nib-tip cuts: straight, oblique and italic. Each tip will add a different element to your writing. |
