Fountain pens include the following famous brands: 1. MontBlanc (Germany, 1906, the highest representative in the pen world);

2. Parker (USA, 1888, global high-quality writing instruments) leader); 3. Picasso (world-famous brand) 4. LAMY (founded in Germany in 1930); 5. Duke (German brand, famous national gift signature pen for leaders of international foreign affairs activities).

1. The fountain pen is a widely used writing instrument and was invented in the early 19th century. The pen head is made of metal, and it is smooth and elastic when writing, which is quite smooth. There are obvious trademarks, brands and models on the mouth of the pen cover or on the surface of the pen tip. It is also divided into dip pens, fountain pens, and ink cartridge pens. A fountain pen is a writing instrument that mainly uses metal as the pen body. It contains ink (mostly black or blue) through a hollow pen tube. Through gravity and capillary action, it writes through a duckbill-shaped nib. The writing process is light and heavy. Different, it can be said to be a writing tool for Western calligraphy. The ink in most fountain pens is refillable, usually using an eyedrop vial or a straw to refill the ink. The earliest historical records of water-filled fountain pens date back to the 10th century, and this earliest water-filled fountain pen was used until the 18th century. Development was slow, however, until the early 19th century, when a pen with a steadily accelerating flow was invented during production. Only three key inventions made the fountain pen a widely popular writing instrument. These inventions were: iridium gold nibs, hard rubber, and free-flowing ink. The first fountain pen using the above three key inventions was manufactured around the 1850s. But it wasn't until the 1880s that mass production began. France's Waterman and Wirt were the main producers at that time. In the early 20th century, American fountain pens were gradually imported into China and distributed in coastal cities. Subsequently, pens of various brands such as "Conklin", "Eversharp", "Pelikan", "Sheaffer" and "Parker" followed. influx.

2. In 1809, the United Kingdom issued the first batch of patent certificates for water storage pens, which marked the official birth of the fountain pen. Pen Case In early storage pens, the ink did not flow freely. The person who writes presses the piston, and the ink starts to flow. After writing for a while, he has to press it again, otherwise the ink will not flow out. Of course it is very inconvenient to write like this. In 1829, the Englishman James Bailey successfully developed a steel pen nib. It has been specially processed to be smooth and elastic. It writes smoothly and is very popular among people. However, this kind of pen must be dipped in ink to write, which is very troublesome. By 1884, an employee named Waterman of an American insurance company invented a method of using capillary tubes to supply ink, which better solved the above problems. The tip of this pen can be removed and the ink can be filled with a small dropper. The earliest pens that could absorb ink on their own appeared in the early 20th century, using a piston to absorb ink. When a leather bladder is used in a pen, an iron piece is inserted into a slit to squeeze the leather bladder to absorb ink. By 1952, the Schnocker pen, which used a tube to extend into the ink to absorb water, appeared. It was not until 1956 that the commonly used capillary pen was invented. There are also some art pens and so on.

3. The pen nib can be said to be the most critical part of the pen. There are various changes from thin to thick. Generally, the most common pen nib sizes are "B (Broad), M ( Medium), FM (Fine-Medium), F (Fine) and EF (Extra-Fine) are mainly "B>M>F>EF from thick to fine, and the nib size of each pen manufacturer is There will also be slight differences in specifications between factories. In the same size unit, the nib of Japanese fountain pens will be thinner than that of European fountain pens. According to normal writing habits, Westerners mostly use the M nib when using fountain pens, and use the B nib when signing. Because the strokes in Chinese writing are complicated, F or thinner EF pen tips can generally be used.
