Direct fill pens have changed the way we write, and are among the most popular writing instruments in the world. Unlike a ballpoint pen, direct fill pens allow for greater accuracy and detailing when writing, and can be used to fill in important documents, send messages to other people, or be used when writing on labels, tags, and posters. The ink is similar to that of a fountain pen, although direct fill pens are much more practical. They can easily be refilled once the ink has run out.
The ink used in a direct fill pen contains pigment, so there is a greater choice of colors available than other types of ink pen. Some direct fill pens use ink with a metallic element, ideal for filling out birthday cards or when writing tags for gift boxes and presents. Not a lot of pressure is needed to control the pen - instead the user can write easily and quickly without much strain on their hand. The pen is also comfortable to write with, and allow the user to write more distinctively than other types of pen.
Some direct fill pens are easy to use, and cost effective - there's no need to refill, just use them once and then throw them away. These pens are available in a number of different colors and can be used to create craft projects, write shopping lists and notes, or filling in cards to friends and family members. Care will need to be taken with some direct fill pens to ensure that the ink doesn't smudge on the page. The ink used in some pens may take longer to completely dry when compared to the ballpoint pen.
Direct fill pens can be purchased as part of a set, or on an individual basis. These pens may work out to be cheaper when buying in bulk, especially when compared to the price of purchasing these items individually. They often contain a cap on the pen, which protects the pen when it is not being used. Other direct fill pens have a rubber grip, which protects the hand when the individual is writing. Sizes range from fill pens with fine tips (0.8 mm) and pens with medium tips (1 mm).
