Common sense for the use of ballpoint pens

1. The pen is stronger and more durable than ordinary fountain pens, but if it is used and stored improperly, it is often impossible to write, which is mainly due to the dry ink bonded around the steel ball to hinder the flow of ink. Ink is a viscous oil, which is made of flaxseed oil, synthetic pine nut oil (mainly containing terpene alcohols), mineral oil (oil obtained by fractionating petroleum and other minerals), hard rubber added to oil smoke, etc.

2. When using a ballpoint pen, do not write on paper with oil and wax, otherwise the oil and wax embedded in the copper bowl along the edge of the steel ball will affect the ink and cannot write, but also avoid the impact and exposure of the pen, and take the cap with gloves when not in use to prevent damage to the nib, barrel deformation and oil leakage and pollutant body. In case of cold weather or unused for a long time. When the pen is not oily, you can soak the nib in warm water for a while and then scratch the nib on the paper to write.

3. The ballpoint pen has a big disadvantage: the handwriting it writes is clear at first; However, it cannot stand the test of time, and after a long time, the handwriting will slowly blur. This is because the ink of the ballpoint pen is made with dyes and castor oil. Oil is different from water, it is not easy to dry, over time, the oil will slowly soak on the paper, and the handwriting will become blurred. Therefore, ballpoint pens can only be used as a normal writing pen. If you want to preserve your handwriting for a long time, you need to use a pen.

4. The ballpoint pen landing, if the nib touches the ground at 90 degrees, the ballpoint pen tip will not be damaged, but if the mouth is bruised, it will produce "oil" phenomenon at this gap, and in severe cases, the ball will fall off and have difficulty writing.
