Close up of an extra fine roller ball pen next to something written with it. There are two main types of roller ball pens: liquid-ink pens and gel-ink pens.The "liquid-ink" type uses an ink and ink-supply system similar to a fountain pen, and they are designed to combine the convenience of a ballpoint pen with the smooth "wet ink" effect of a fountain pen.
A ballpoint pen, also known as a biro [1] (British English), ball pen (Hong Kong, Indian, Indonesian, Pakistani, and Philippine English), or dot pen [2] (Nepali English and South Asian English), is a pen that dispenses ink (usually in paste form) over a metal ball at its point, i.e., over a "ball point".

A diagram of a typical pointed nib Quill pen and ink bottle. A nib is the part of a quill, dip pen, fountain pen, ball point, or stylus which comes into contact with the writing surface in order to deposit ink. Different types of nibs vary in their purpose, shape and size, as well as the material from which they are made.
The feed of a fountain pen is the component that connects the nib of the pen with its ink reservoir. [43] It not only allows the ink to flow to the nib (in what is often described as a "controlled leak") but also regulates the amount of air flowing backwards up to the reservoir to replace this lost ink. [44]
Ink is held within all four legs, with casters designed to disperse the ink as the chair is rolled. Malouin experimented with various combinations of ball points and ink viscosities before arriving at a design which would support the weight of a person while allowing ink to flow in the same manner as a ballpoint pen. [52]
Gel pens can be used for many types of writing and illustration. The general design of a gel pen is similar to that of a regular ink-based pen, with a barrel containing the writing mechanism and a cap, and a reservoir filled with ink. At the end of the ink tube is an ink "follower", made of more viscous gelled material which is usually ...
