Long gone are the days when luxurious but at the same time primitive goose feathers were used for writing. According to statistics, now about 92% of the world's population uses various pens. If we recall that not so long ago the number of people on Earth exceeded seven billion inhabitants, then you can be sure that this subject for writing (despite general computerization) will be in great demand for a long time. At the same time, fountain pen models continue to evolve. And now sometimes you think about which one is better: a fountain pen, a ballpoint pen, or a capillary pen? And many people don’t even know how the last of them differs from the previous two.
How does a capillary handle
The name of this type of pen is closely related to the name of the physical phenomenon on which its design is based. You probably already guessed that this is a capillary effect. Thanks to it, ink moves along a very thin core and falls on a miniature writing capillary. For those who have forgotten the school curriculum a bit, we recall that the essence of the capillary phenomenon is that if a thin tube is lowered into a container with liquid, the liquid level in such a capillary will rise or fall slightly, depending on whether the liquid is wetting or not wetting. On the one hand, this effect prevents ink leakage, and on the other hand, the capillary pen leaves a uniform, thin and clear mark on the paper. The letter is especially neat and even. Another advantage of this design is that the capillary pen can write in any position of the rod and in any conditions.
And if you add that she writes easier and, as a rule, more beautiful than other types of items for writing, it becomes clear why so many people give her their preference. Despite the fact that the capillary pen was only released in 1953, some believe that the Egyptian cane stick can be considered its prototype, because the same principle was used there.
Wealth of choice
Today on the market, manufacturers offer such a variety of capillary handles that are breathtaking. In addition to cheap everyday options, sometimes there are such advanced design solutions that are not only great for writing, but also allow you to "demonstrate" your status and financial capabilities.
