A fountain pen is a nib pen that, unlike its predecessor the dip pen, contains an internal reservoir of water-based liquid ink. From the reservoir, the ink is drawn through a feed to the nib and then to the paper via a combination of gravity and capillary action. As a result, the typical fountain pen requires little or no pressure to write. Not to mention, they are fantastic writing implements!
Currently, I am adding my pen friends. If you are a pen person, that would like to be a friend, please fee free to contact me. 😉
