You wouldn't be surprised to hear that pens top are at the top of basically every school supply list out there, which is why at Staples, school pens come in all sorts of shapes, sizes, and colors. But which one is right for you? Here's a quick guide to help you choose the perfect school pen.
Choosing the right pen
Ballpoint pens are great because they are known for clean writing and they are easy to use. Potential downsides to a traditional ballpoint pen for school is that the ink is more viscous making it ill suited for slick writing surfaces and can smudge. Additionally, there might not be as many color options for traditional ballpoint pens as other pen types. Gel pens offer a similar functionality with smooth writing and a wide variety of bright color option, but have the potential drawbacks of the potential to be messy and having a longer dry time. Rollerball pens are another great option for a low pressure, easy flowing ink pen, but you should be cautious about which paper you use with them as rollerball pens have a propensity to bleed through.
Alternative school pen types
You might also consider using felt pens when shopping for the new semester. Felt pens are a great choice for students who enjoy color coding because they typically offer bright colors with little to no smudging. On the other hand, felt pens can be more difficult to control and the ink can bleed through paper more than other options. Fountain pens are another great option for serious students looking to showcase their professionalism. Fountain pens offer smooth writing, and a classic look but can be difficult to use and are more prone to smudging.
Making a final selection
So, what's the best school pen for you? Ultimately, it depends on your personal preferences. If you're looking for bright colors and a smooth writing experience, gel pens are a great option. But if you prefer a clean look and easy use, ballpoint pens are the way to go. We've got a great selection of school pens, including gel pens, ballpoint pens, and more. Whether you're looking for a pen for school or just for writing at home, we've got the perfect school pen for you.
