05 Mar 10 The Power Of The Pen

For an entertaining and inexpensive meeting idea, why not offer your meeting attendees both ballpoint and rollerball pens?

Here in America, the ballpoint pen is the favored pen that is sold in all of the stores, and in the UK, the rollerball pen rules. Ink pens all originated in the same UK place, and then the American industrial revolution brought them to our country. The ink delivery systems are the same in both the USA ballpoint pen and the UK rollerball pens; however, the ink recipe is different.

Here in America, we went for a thicker ink that dried instantly when it topped the page. Our ballpoint ink does not seep into the paper layers to provide a very long-lasting image that the generation down the road will see. In the UK, the rollerball pen uses a thinner ink formula that is delivered through the same ink delivery system that soaks into the paper and takes a moment before it is dry and free from smearing. Many feel that the old world qualities of the UK ink recipes are superior to the American Bic-style of ballpoint pens.

When the UK inks and the American inks are explained at the beginning of the business meeting, this becomes a fascination. The simple act of taking notes during the meeting becomes an important and noteworthy activity to those who are at the meeting presentation. Rollerballl pens and ballpoint pens cost about the same amount of money. It is easy for all meeting planners to supply a variety of pens with different ink properties to their clients.
