A pen, is a writing instrument consisting of a loading tip, containing a sphere, usually made of

steel or wolframium, which in contact with the paper, doses the ink as it is rolled, in the same
way as a ball deodorant. The pen can be thin, medium, or diamond.

The pen is a plastic tube, containing the ink and having, at one end, the writing tip, which hooks
a small sphere or ball, from which it takes its name, and serves to regulate the output of ink to
the paper in a fluid and constant way. This tube or "load" is located inside a frame that allows
you to grip comfortably. This frame can be two-part or one-part, with various mechanisms that
pull out or retract the tip of the load to protect it from shock and prevent it from staining when
carried in the pocket. Its large-scale production has made the cost very low and made it the
universal instrument of manual writing.

different types of ink to write, ...
