Capillary pen: how it is arranged and what are its advantages

For a long time past those times when for writing luxurious, but at the same time primitive goose feathers were used. According to statistics, now about 92% of the world's population uses different pens. If we recall that not so long ago the number of people on Earth has exceeded seven billion inhabitants, we can be sure that this subject for writing (despite the general computerization) will be in great demand for a long time. At the same time, models of fountain pens continue to evolve constantly. And now you sometimes think about what is better: a fountain pen, a ballpoint pen or a capillary pen? And many people do not even know what the last of them differs from the previous two.

How the capillary handle is arranged

The name of this type of pen is closely related to the name of the physical phenomenon on which its design is based. Perhaps you already guessed that this is a capillary effect. Thanks to it, ink moves along a very thin rod and falls on a miniature writing capillary. For those who have slightly forgotten the school curriculum, we recall that the essence of the capillary phenomenon is that if you drop a thin tube into the liquid container, the liquid level in such a capillary will rise slightly or fall, depending on whether the liquid is wetting or Not wetting. On the one hand, this effect helps prevent leakage of ink, and on the other hand - the capillary pen leaves a uniform, thin and clear trace on the paper. The letter turns out to be especially accurate and even. Another advantage of this design is that the capillary handle can write at any position of the rod and under any conditions. And if you add that she writes more easily and, as a rule, is more beautiful than other kinds of objects for writing, then it becomes clear why so many people give her their preference. Despite the fact that the capillary pen was only seen in 1953, some believe that its prototype can be considered an Egyptian reed stick, because the same principle was used there.

Wealth of choice

Today, in the market, manufacturers offer such a variety of capillary pens, which directly captures the spirit. In addition to cheap everyday options, sometimes there are such advanced design solutions that are not only good for writing, but also allow you to "demonstrate" your status and financial capabilities. A striking example of such a class is the Stabilo capillary handle with the springy tip "S move". First, it has an amazing strength of the hull, made with the use of two-component technology. When you take it in your hands, your fingers feel a pleasant shell, and do not even suspect that underneath it there is a super-strong base, which, with all the desire, it will not be possible to break. Secondly, the spring-loaded tip, manufactured by patented sensor technology, allows this pen to adjust to any force of pressure and style of writing. And an excellent system of capillaries provides the convenience of using it in almost any position. Whichever capillary handle model you choose, in any case, get quality and reliability! And what else is needed and our fast and full of different possibilities of life?
