Obsolete technology.
Use computers.

Look at this bitch. For fucking ten cents it will write whatever you want without skipping or bleeding and with a very uniform stroke. It's relatively comfortable and reliable as shit. If you need anything more expensive you're either a lawyer or a wannabe high-class.

I grew up with this pen and for most of my life wasn't even aware that any of those problems exist on pens. Then I come on here or /b/ and see faggots masturbating over their $40,000 fountain pens that scratch and squeak and need constant refilling and not one of them has good enough hand writing to even make a difference.

I use pencil and paper. Have a tendency to think faster than I write so I'll often times mash up words and shit.

I rock fine point in this weapon of a pen. smooth writing, relatively cheap but still has a metal clip so you can look like a classy bloke.

[Anonymous No.6045116]

>>6045062
what pen is that?

[Anonymous No.6045243]

I need a pen that I can use to draw precision diagrams that has a fine point, doesn't require any pressure to write, and writes smoothly and evenly.
Recommendations? I used to us a fountain pen but that got ink on the sides of my rulers and bled through the paper if I didn't move it quickly enough.

I found a bic pivo pen in high school that I still use today. Looks really nice for something that is disposable, and writes just as well as the bic crystals.

That's actually a terrible idea. A computer isn't nearly as good as a well organized engineering notebook. The only advantage is that it can be searched and easily copied. Every time I've tried to keep notes using software it turned into a disaster.

OP I have never thought much of pens, but this new found thing to obsess about appeals to my inner autism greatly.

Please carry on.

I use mechanical pencils because I frequently write something wrong, and I need to be able to erase it

[Anonymous No.6047808]

For writing I like to use every pen I can get at random.

The best ballpoints are the Jetstream 0.38 and Pilot Acroball 0.5. But the Jetstream isn't waterproof.

>>6047708
but those are generally shit

terrible idea for an engineer or academic

Uni-Ball Vision has superior pigment ink. Use the super classy Vision Elite BLX if you want a rollerball pen.

[Anonymous No.6048049]

They're generally associated with 9 year old girls and not all that great to write with, but the Sakura Gelly Roll is the ultimate archival everything-proof pen, if you regularly go spilling acetone all over the place or something.

Use acid free cotton paper and your Dick Butt drawing will last for centuries.

protip: the retractable/rollerball refills are usually interchangeable

put a Uni-Ball UMR-85 refill in a Pilot G2 Limited body, or whatever

Aside from being awful looking, they're erased by heat (and un-erased by cold), so don't use them for anything important.

[Anonymous No.6048961]

>>6048953
I personally like them because of how dumb they look. Plus they are the best erasable pen I have come across, as far as erasing.

I think there's a mistake in that article. Someone has gotten confused and mixed up the Uni "super ink" (which is pigment-based ink used in their gel and rollerball pens) with the Jetstream (which makes no claims about the ink not being washable, and indeed isn't particularly water resistant).
