Ball pen

Description

🖊️ What is a Ball Pen

• A ball pen (also called a ballpoint pen) is a writing instrument whose tip contains a tiny metal ball (typically made of steel, brass, or tungsten carbide) that rolls as you write. That rolling ball picks up ink from an internal reservoir and transfers it smoothly onto paper. The ink is usually oil-based and fairly thick — which makes ball pens reliable, long-lasting, and less likely to smudge compared with water-based alternatives.

✍️ Why Ball Pens are Popular

• Ball pens are durable and low-maintenance: no need to dip in ink or refill often (unless it’s a refillable pen). They work on a variety of paper types — even on rougher or lower-quality paper — which makes them ideal for everyday use: writing, note-taking, document signing, filling forms, etc. Their ink dries quickly — reducing smudges and making them dependable for school, office, and daily writing tasks.
