The Ballpoint Pen vs. The Rollerball: What’s the Difference?

One of the most frequently asked questions in our store is the difference between a ballpoint pen and a rollerball. This is a question we encounter often, so we’d like to take a closer look at it here. Although they may seem to have a lot in common at first glance, there are subtle differences that can make a world of difference in your writing experience. Let’s dive into the history and characteristics of these popular writing instruments.

What is a Ballpoint Pen?

The ballpoint pen, an invention dating back to the 1930s, is the brainchild of Hungarian journalist László Bíró.

This innovation solved the problems of leaking fountain pens and smudging ink and quickly became an essential tool for pilots during World War II due to its reliability under various conditions.

Today, the ballpoint pen is known for its versatility and durability. The thick, oil-based ink dries quickly, minimizing the chance of smudging, and the pen can write on almost any surface. It’s the pen you can rely on, whether you’re taking notes during a meeting or jotting something down quickly on the go.

How Does a Ballpoint Pen Work?

The heart of the ballpoint pen is the small ball at the tip of the pen, usually made from a hard substance like tungsten carbide. This ball rotates freely in a socket and is continuously supplied with ink from the pen’s ink reservoir. As you write, the ball rotates and transfers the ink onto the paper. This mechanism ensures that the
