Rollerball pens, like fountain pens, use a water based ink than flows significantly easier than the thick oil based ink of a ballpoint pen. Rollerballs, therefore, provide a smoother and more comfortable writing experience. .
But, rollerball refills will not last as long as ballpoints and the ink may "bleed" with certain types of paper. Also the ink does not dry immediately so smudging is possible.
The 'Retro' rollerball and fountain pens are built on the same bodies as the Jr Gentlemen's range. The 'Retro' features differently styled clip, centreband and end-cap to differentiate it.
The pen is supplied with and uses an international standard sized refill that is readily replaceable and it may be 'posted', ie. the cap can be fitted to the end of the main barrel while in use.
