\"How<\/a><\/p>\n

A good pen is hard to find.<\/p>\n

Take a second. Sit down and think about a good pen. Now\u00a0remember the\u00a0last pen you used. Are they the same?\u00a0The problem may not be your pen at all, but instead, what you think when comes time to buy. We\u2019re going to show you how to purchase\u00a0pens like a pro.\u00a0<\/p>\n

How can someon<\/strong>e\u00a0buy\u00a0pens<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>wrong?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I\u2019m glad you asked. Let me explain. You\u2019ve probably got a drawer full of pens whose purchase did not necessitate\u00a0a great deal of thought beforehand. They\u2019re likely the same pens you hand out to everyone around the office, which is nice. For your personal pen, however, practice professional preparation and shop for a pen that matches your day-to-day needs.<\/p>\n

Are you in the legal or medical fields? If so you probably sign quite a few documents that benefit from ink permanence. A ballpoint pen<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>will be a good fit for you. The titular “ball” allows for a more viscous ink to be used as it rotates at the\u00a0writing tip. It pulls the heavier ink to the page. Heavier inks allow companies to employ sturdier\u00a0formulations and this\u00a0generally\u00a0leads to increased ink permanence.\u00a0Whether you’re signing\u00a0contracts or patient release forms, serious documents call for ink permanence.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Start with the\u00a0InkJoy 300RT Ballpoint<\/a>. Customers have stated how,\u00a0“It feels nice in the hand.” and how, while writing, “the pen glides nicely on the paper and the color is vibrant.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps, you are\u00a0a student or someone who does a great deal of personal note taking? A Roller Ball pen<\/a> is a\u00a0friend in these scenarios. “Why?” you may ask. Well, it’s because these pens use a thinner ink that\u00a0pools at the tip. This results in a\u00a0\u00a0smoother feel as the pen glides over the page. However, the thinness of the ink makes it impermanent. The\u00a0Jetstream 101 Roller Ball\u00a0is a great option for this pen type. \u00a0It’s been described as, “My new favorite pen. It writes very smooth and it doesn’t smear. It is the perfect thickness.”<\/p>\n

Or maybe you\u2019re a small business owner whose day can be filled with anything from check signing to brainstorming business ideas. For you, a\u00a0gel pen<\/a>\u00a0will likely be the most accommodating. Gel Pens bridge the gap between the smoothness of a roller ball and the ink security of a ballpoint. Take a look at the\u00a0G2 Premium gel\u00a0pen<\/a>. A customer had this to say: “I love the G2 pens! They write really well and last forever.” That’s a pen you probably want!<\/p>\n

Our\u00a0Pen and Ink Guide<\/a>\u00a0goes into more detail regarding writing types and ink variation. But, no matter which categories you best fall into, a professional\u00a0buys with their task in mind. They\u00a0aim\u00a0for quality\u00a0while at the same time\u00a0making sure to capitalize on savings.<\/p>\n

Spend less over time with refillable pens.<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The most savvy among us\u00a0choose a refillable for a reason. Eventually, as your co-workers go through box after box of whatever is on sale, you\u2019ll notice that your \u201ceveryday writer,\u201d\u00a0<\/span>your favorite pen, is still going strong.\u00a0Not only does it excel during your most frequent tasks but you\u2019ll no longer find yourself buying a replacement every couple of months. You’re saving money!<\/p>\n

That\u2019s all there is to it. Now you\u2019re a pen-shopping pro, congratulations. Are any of your favorites on our list? Let’s us know below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
