Cheap and easy to produce, ballpoint pens come in large packs for low costs. Their ink dries quickly (ideal for left-handers), and the ink tubes tend to last the longest.<\/p><p>They are also the most adaptable in all climates, as their oil-based ink sticks to a wider range of surfaces. In short, they are usually the best pens for most types of general work, but other options might be better for more specific needs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-60ae046 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"60ae046\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d23660f e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d23660f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f3c5ec8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f3c5ec8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cos.net.au\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/rollerball-pens.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-2094\" alt=\"Rollerball pens\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cos.net.au\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/rollerball-pens.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.cos.net.au\/c\/wp-content\/smush-avif\/2022\/04\/rollerball-pens-300x200.jpg.avif 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" data-smush-avif-fallback=\"{&quot;srcset&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.cos.net.au\\\/c\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/04\\\/rollerball-pens.jpg 700w, https:\\\/\\\/www.cos.net.au\\\/c\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/04\\\/rollerball-pens-300x200.jpg 300w&quot;}\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b61b2d2 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"b61b2d2\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a8fabdd elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"a8fabdd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6ae3cce elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6ae3cce\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Rollerball pens<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6864ed5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6864ed5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Less common than ballpoint pens are\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cos.net.au\/writing-instruments\/rollerball-pens\">rollerball pens<\/a>, which use the same ball-shaped tip, but deliver an ink based from water.

They have the most diverse shades of lead to choose from, which is best for sketching.<\/p><p>They are also easier to shade with because their thick lead can take up more space on a page with each stroke if angled properly.<\/p><p>This also allows for linear variety, which spices up your handwriting as you write with the same pencil. With few moving parts, they cannot jam on you as mechanical pencils may from time to time. The lead is easily visible, so you always know how much more life a pencil has.<\/p><p>However, once a pencil is used for too long, it runs out of lead and must be replaced, and they must be sharpened with a sharpener instead of clicked to get more lead.<\/p><p>The shape of the pencil changes as its life goes on, which can also affect your writing or drawing.<\/p><p>Mechanical pencils are more expensive and have thinner lead that tends to break more often. However, this thinner lead is more precise, keeping your lines consistent and your handwriting\u00a0 neater.<\/p><p>Mechanical pencils tend to last longer because their lead and erasers are refillable. This keeps your pencil the same size throughout its lifetime, so you don\u2019t have to worry about it shrinking on you.<\/p><p>Lastly, mechanical pencils allow for a wide array of grips and adaptability when compared to traditional pencils, which give your writing utensil both flare and comfort.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c1757b6 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"c1757b6\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3a12005 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"3a12005\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dee7824 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"dee7824\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cos.net.au\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shade-of-pencils.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-2098\" alt=\"Which shade of lead?\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cos.net.au\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shade-of-pencils.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.cos.net.au\/c\/wp-content\/smush-avif\/2022\/04\/shade-of-pencils-300x169.jpg.avif 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" data-smush-avif-fallback=\"{&quot;srcset&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.cos.net.au\\\/c\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/04\\\/shade-of-pencils.jpg 700w, https:\\\/\\\/www.cos.net.au\\\/c\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/04\\\/shade-of-pencils-300x169.jpg 300w&quot;}\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ff62b23 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"ff62b23\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3b5b503 elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"3b5b503\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b080dce elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b080dce\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Which shade of lead?\n<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4c03798 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4c03798\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>You\u2019ve probably seen \u201cHB\u201d, \u201c2H\u201d, or other perplexing lettering on the side of pencils.<\/p><p>This actually refers to the lead shade of the pencil.
