It fits inside the pen's nib section and allows the user to draw ink directly from an ink bottle, offering a more eco-friendly and customizable alternative to disposable ink cartridges. Converters are commonly used by fountain pen enthusiasts who prefer a wider variety of ink color choices or want to reduce waste.
What is the difference between a fountain pen and a ballpoint pen?
What is the difference between a fountain pen and a ballpoint pen?
The difference between a fountain pen and a ballpoint pen lies mainly in their ink delivery systems and writing experiences. A fountain pen uses liquid ink that flows through a nib and is stored in a reservoir or cartridge, allowing for a smoother writing experience. It provides a variety of line thicknesses and is often favored for tasks like calligraphy and artistic writing. In contrast, a ballpoint pen uses a thicker, oil-based ink dispensed through a small ball at the tip.
