Think Ink
Did you know that there are many different kinds of ink, each with unique properties that enhance the writing experience?
At Zebra, we’re serious about making the best pens possible, which means our Ink Lab team is always testing, innovating and perfecting ink formulas. We’d like to help you learn more about the characteristics of pens, ink types, and terminology, so the pen you choose delivers the best performance for your needs.
Pen Terminology
Pens also have various characteristics that affect the way the pen performs – line thickness, amount of ink used, drying time, and shelf life.
Here are some “pen insider” terms, explained.
Oil-Based Ink
Found in ballpoint pens, oil based ink doesn’t smudge, lasts longer, and is a good value. It’s ideal for everyday, heavy usage. If you are writing all day long, this is the pen for you.
