Rollerball pens that use fountain pen ink
Am I missing the point here?<p>&gt;You might be wondering, why is this a question?<p>Why yes, exactly my thought, please tell me...<p>&gt;If you check out Unsharpen’s Ink Types Guide, you’ll see that while rollerball ink is great, fountain pen ink is quite special.<p>Oh, ok, so I&#x27;ll follow that link, and...<p>&gt;It is, of course, the ink used in fountain pens, but it takes thousands of forms. The ink can be in a bottle or cartridge, it can be iron gall or water-based, it can be handmade or produced by the vat, it can be lubricated, fluorescent, quick-drying, or any number of other qualities. [...] Fountain pen inks are a looser, more watery consistency compared to all other pen inks. This means they are free-flowing and prone to splashing, forming droplets, and doing other things that have been known to ruin countless shirts.<p>Ok... So if I an to recap... The only real reason to use a ball pen with fountain ink is so I can refill it with whatever ink I like? OK, HN, I have some particular interests as well, but this is about the article of least importance I&#x27;ve ever seen on here.<p>It&#x27;s as if all my other problems in life have been solved and I can be a pen&#x2F;ink hipster? Maybe for someone, but I guess I&#x27;m just not there yet!
