The Quill pen was a standard writing instrument throughout Western history - they were cheap and the supplies were abundant. The brush cut to the sharp end of the cylinder would lead ink by capillary action to the tip and thus to paper.

Then the filling pen was soaked ink and the bulb was released to expand to the original size, and formed a vacuum that would succeed ink into the bulb.

In the 1950s, the fountain pens were further improved by adding pre -filled ink cartridges, which were simply inserted in the dark. The screwing mainly into the head of the pen led the sharpened tube into the cassette, opened it and fed ink from the cassette to the tip for writing.

Shortly after the invention of the filling pen cartridge, however, a ball pen was invented and quickly overtaken the filling pen in use. StakeThe ID points did not die, as the best fountain pens did, and applied the ink evenly without blotting or a sudden promontory or spray.
