Parker has just released a new line of ink pens that it describes as an “innovative new writing system” that will “revolutionize the look and feel of putting pen to paper.”
The upshot is that the new Parker Ingenuity uses a metallic hood and flexibile polypropylene tip to approximate the easy glide and varying lines of a fountain pen, but has a disposable tip/ink cartridge that can be replaced as easily as a rollerball or gel pen refill.
Look for some cool new additions to the Stabilo family of pens this month, including a new retractable gel that should prove to be super comfortable for writing.
Stabilo is mainly known for its ergonomic range of pens for children, especially the odd-looking and even more oddly named ‘S Move Easy, one of the best pens on the market for young left-handed writers. The company’s pen ranges are distinguished by their unique barrel shapes designed to assist finger placement and use of bright primary colors, as befits a company geared toward kids.
But in the last few years, the German penmaker has been expanding outward, looking to take its reputation for comfort into both the office and university, as well as remaining the go-to pen for schoolkids.
Have you seen the new eBay commercial about the guy and his ink pen?
Apparently, eBay is trying to reinvent itself – less of a used goods auction site, more of a shiny new things marketplace – with an advertising campaign that makes fun of, among other “old” things, ink pens and the people who use them.
Totally Random Pen Stuff 10 is a round-up of interesting pen related blog posts that we have recently come across.
Like most of you, we try to keep up with the blog and web activities of our favorite pen makers, but somehow we’ve managed to miss – until now – an intriguing project that Uniball is running online.
The Vision blog isn’t what you might expect from the company that makes some of the best gels and rollerballs in the world.
The blog isn’t really about pens, even though it’s named for a range of Uniball pen. Not exactly, anyway.
