Pen Down Some Ideas - Choose The Right Pen For You
We all use a pen everyday without thinking much about it. Pens are used for writing quick to do lists or notes as well as amending printed documents on a daily basis. We don't tend to think too much about the pen we are using but everyone prefers a certain type of pen over another.
If you have a smooth fluid writing style then a fountain will definitely suit you better as the ink flows freely and smoothly. If you are more of a technical writer then a fine ballpoint or rollerball will work well especially if you like to add quick drawings to your notes or documents.
You may be a writer or a journalist who is constantly using a pen to carry out your work on a daily basis so it is vital that your pen suits your style and is comfortable to use for long periods of time. If you choose to use a roller ball, fountain, or ballpoint pen be sure that the size fits your hand well otherwise you will find some discomfort when used for some time.
Pens come in different widths and lengths to suit the preference of its user. If you have large hands then a wide pen which is shorter in length would probably work best as a thin pen would require more tension in the hand. For someone with smaller hands it would be best to use a slim-line pen so gripping it is easier and allows the pen to be controlled simply.
One thing that generally sells a pen to a user is its style. The style of a pen can tell a lot about its user as it has normally been selected to fit in with the users personal style and lifestyle. Some prefer a classic understated pen in a classic colour such as silver or gold, this is great for business users as it is a very formal style. Such a pen will normally be slim-line in design ready to go into a suit jacket pocket or similar.
For the design conscious or artist user a bolder style and colour scheme will be found. This will be wider in design and brighter in colour and possibly not as practical, this type of style you would normally expect from a professional writer or artist.
Choosing a pen is a completely personal experience and one that should be enjoyed. It is vital that you purchase the right pen especially if you use it for prolonged periods because otherwise it will be uncomfortable and a wasted investment.

Looking After Your Pens - Top Tips To Make Your Pens Last Longer\n
Whether you buy a cheap pen from the Supermarket or an expensive collectable pen from a leading manufacturer like Parker or Faber-Castell, you really want to make sure that it will last for the longest possible time, but you have to look after your writing instrument to really make sure that you get the most from your pen.
Below, we look at the most effective tips when it comes to looking after your pen and getting the maximum use and longevity from your new writing tool.
Keep The Nibs / Ends Clean - With many types of pen, when the nibs or the end of the pen becomes mucky and bunged up this can often be the end for your writing tool so it is vital to make sure you give the "end" of your pen a quick wipe every now and again to keep it in perfect working order. Just use a small piece of cloth and make sure the cloth is dry as you do not want water or other types of liquid getting into your pen.
Use Frequently - Using a pen for a little while and then not using it for sometime can cause the ink to go hard and render the pen unusable. Try to make sure you use the pen frequently to make sure the ink stays in its original quality condition and try not to leave pens for a long time without using them, as a pen that is used frequently will often last a lot longer than one you just keep in the drawer and use infrequently.
Store Them In A Dry And Cool Place - Leaving a pen in a boiling hot environment or on the window seal is a quick way of making that pen useless! Store your pens in a cool place, somewhere like a drawer or a cupboard away from direct sunlight to make sure the ink doesn't dry up and stop the pen from writing your all important notes or memories.
Don't Press Down Hard When Writing - Pressing down really hard when writing will cause the nib or the tip of the pen to bend or break, which wont be very much use for you when it comes to writing down some more! Also, try to make sure you are writing on a relatively stable but "softish" surface, as if you write really hard on a solid base you can end up ruining the nibs and the pen.
Always "Close" Pen When Finished - If your pen has a lid then always make sure you put the lid back onto the pen and if it is a pen that can open and close always make sure you close it. This way it will protect the tip or nib from accidental damage and will also prevent the ink drying in the nib and then rendering the pen unusable and worthless.
If you follow these top tips to protect your pens, you are sure to make sure you get the maximum use from your pen and therefore you will always be making sure that the pen you buy will be the pen you are using many months in the future!
