Fountain Pens
What is a fountain pen?
A fountain pen is a superior writing implement that contains a reservoir for ink, or else uses replaceable reservoirs in the form of ink cartridges. Ink travels from the reservoir to the nib through a feed. Since when writing the nib is usually below the ink reservoir, gravity pulls the ink towards the nib, but capillary action if also involved in fountain pens. Capillary action is caused by the surface tension of liquids in small spaces.
Most fountain pens nowadays use ink cartridges but many fountain pens at Paperstone are convertible for use with bottled ink.
