Although ballpoint and rollerball pens have many things in common, there are fundamental differences between them. Both types get their name from the ballpoint tip, but each uses a different type of ink that differs in the writing result. In this review, we'll introduce the main features of ballpoint and rollerball pens so you can choose the right Montblanc pen to match your style.
Practical and versatile rollerball pens are a great choice for those who don't want to spend money on a fountain pen. They use liquid ink that creates a distinctive line on the paper. Designed as an alternative to a fountain pen for use on the go, rollerball pens are easy to use. Like fountain pens, they use liquid ink that provides a similar smooth writing experience. This ink is also available in a wide range of colors.
Rollerball pens use water-based ink that can dry out when exposed to air. Therefore, it is necessary to keep the pen tip sealed with a cap. When not in use, be sure to put the cap back on the rollerball to extend the life of the refill.
The liquid ink used in the rollerball pen creates a smooth, fluid writing experience. This pen is ideal for writing signatures, letters and handwritten notes. There is no need to exert much pressure when writing, making the pen more comfortable to use even for extended writing sessions. However, the ink can take a little longer to dry, which increases the risk of smudging. Depending on the pressure that is applied and the quality of the paper, this pen may also cause the ink to bleed slightly through to the other side of the page.
Rollerball pen refills are available in three different tip sizes - fine, medium and broad - with each size producing a different line width. Choose the size that suits your preferred writing style. Montblanc rollerball refills are also interchangeable with fineliner refills.
Ballpoint pens are ideal for an active lifestyle as they are very easy to write with. They are very comfortable to write with and their innovative design allows for one-handed writing. The quick-drying ink ensures that your notes won't smudge. This type of pen is affordable and ideal for beginners who want to try out Montblanc products.
Thanks to the thick ink, which is less prone to drying out, ballpoint pens do not require a cap. Instead, the refill tip is hidden inside the pen body. A simple twist or click mechanism is used to expose the nib, readying the pen for writing.
Ballpoint pens offer smooth movement and precise control, making them a useful tool for taking notes and completing important documents. Their ink dries almost instantly, making them an ideal choice for left-handed users. Smudging and ink bleed-through are also less likely. This thick ink lasts a long time, which means the pens are less prone to drying out. However, the ink can be slightly sticky at times, which can cause stains on the paper after prolonged periods of inactivity.
Each Montblanc ballpoint pen comes with a refill when purchased. Refills are available for fine, medium and broad nib models. Each nib size can be identified by the letter on the top of the refill (F, M or B).
