The rollerball pen was initially designed to combine the convenience of a ballpoint pen with the smooth "wet ink" effect of a fountain pen. When the tip of a rollerball pen is held against paper, ink leaves the tip continually by capillary action in much the same way as would occur with a fountain pen. Compared to ballpoint pens, which dispense a smaller amount of more viscous ink, the writing by a rollerball pen takes longer to dry on the page and can seep through thin paper such as to become visible on the opposite side. It also results in a solid and uninterrupted line, since the diffusion of the ink through the paper fills small gaps that might otherwise be left by the ball point. This changes the writing experience by lubricating the motion of the tip over the paper. Since the ink flows more easily and is more easily absorbed into paper, more ink is dispensed in general. The lower viscosity of rollerball ink compared to oil-based ballpoint pen ink has several effects on the pen's performance. As such, gel pens might be considered a subcategory of rollerball pens however, due to the widespread knowledge and use of the term 'gel pen', 'rollerball' is in practice typically reserved for pens which use liquid ink. A rollerball pen is a pen that dispenses a water-based ink through a ball tip similar to that of a ballpoint pen.They have replaced fountain pens as the most common tool for everyday writing. Ballpoint pens are reliable, versatile and robust, and are available for a very wide range of prices. As such, a bare minimum amount of ink is dispensed, with the result that the writing dries almost instantly and ink lasts longer than it does in other types of pen. The ink, due to its high viscosity, does not permeate through paper and does not leave the tip of the pen by capillary action. The ball is typically under a millimeter in diameter and made of brass, steel, or tungsten carbide. When the ball rotates, it transfers the ink - which wets the ball - from the reservoir to the external surface. The ball is held captive in a socket at the tip of the pen with one half exposed and the other half immersed in ink from the pen's reservoir.
A ballpoint pen dispenses a viscous oil-based ink by means of a small hard sphere, or ball, which rolls over the surface being written on.I didn't like the starkness of the white so I yellowed the paper with a mustard colored chalk.Writing tip of a ballpoint pen and 1mm white bar for scale The quote was computer generated but I only had white paper. I used brown chalk along the edges of my cuts. I started my layout at a crop and I didn't bring my inks but I had my Inkadinkado blending chalks.
"Family" was part of a longer phrase so I used Design Studio to hide the other words and make the cut. The butterfly is from Pink Journey and "Family" is from Sophisticated. The Echo Park paper was double sided so I used the reverse side for my cuts. You simply enter what you are looking for and the site shows you all the handbook pages with the searched image. Part of the problem is I have a lot of cartridges and don't know which carts have the image I'm looking for.
It takes me a while to choose the cuts for my layouts. The solid pink is from Close to My Heart. I used Echo Park "Love Letters" and Paper Pizazz "Soft Tints Pink Swirls".
