11 best pens for writing

Manual writing, despite the wide distribution of computer equipment, does not lose relevance: we personally sign the documents, from time to time we fill out questionnaires, receipts and statements. For these purposes you need a pen: gel, ballpoint or pen. It can be a daily use of a schoolchild or office worker, as well as an accessory, emphasizing the status of the owner. EXPERTOLOGY represents the rating of the 11 best pens for writing for different occasions.

A few points of choice

A few years ago on the shelves of stores you could find standard handles with a relief for the rest of the fingers or just in a smooth case. These suited both right-handers and left-handers, but did not differ much convenience. Today the situation is different, you can pick up the handle for individual requests:

1. Automatic or with a cap. Handles, the core of which is extended by pressing a button, are convenient in terms of maneuverability - pulled out, pressed and proceeded to draw. The cap is often lost. On the other hand, conventional knobs without a button are useful for children with emerging discipline. Pens with a cap are more common in public organizations and in case of junior schoolchildren.
2. Universal or for right / left hand. If before such a question did not arise, today, manufacturers take into account the anatomical peculiarity of a particular hand and have an emphasis for the thumb from the right side.
3. Gel or ink. An ordinary ballpoint pen lasts longer, but is unable to write on a smooth, glossy or slightly greasy surface, unlike a gel pen.
