Rollerball pens Cross online shop in the UK today: The Townsend is the most expensive pen in our list. Preferred by a number of U.S. Presidents, it stands out as one of the best luxury pens in the Cross company line. The Townsend features a medium-sized barrel which I think is best in black lacquer with 23k gold appointments. The nib features gold plating too, just to add that little bit of extra fancy pen energy. What I really like about the Townsend fountain pen is the substantial feel in the hand. Compared to a lot of the other Cross fountain pens, it’s just got that oomph that says, “I know what I’ve got, and I know what I’m doing.” It makes a great gift pen for special occasions and big shows of gratitude.

The Meisterstück has been updated with minor tweaks over the years but remains largely untouched in quality and design. The Meisterstück pens have become so iconic, they’ve even landed in the hands of royals, politicians, celebrities, and other prominent public figures from around the world. Most notably, it was the pen of choice for presidents such as John F. Kennedy and Barack Obama for signing official documents. It’s said Princess Diana also preferred the pen—and rumor has it, she and then-Prince Charles used one to sign their official marriage certificate.

This year, Cross celebrates the 100th anniversary of its flagship product, the Cross Meisterstück pen. Launched in 1924, the fountain pen offered unparalleled craftsmanship, attention to detail, and a smooth and effortless writing experience in an era when it mattered. Although the Cross Meisterstück now comes in rollerball and ballpoint iterations, there’s perhaps no version more iconic than the 149 Fountain Pen. You need to unscrew the fountain pen’s cap to begin using it. Although I fully expected the pen to have more weight, it is surprisingly light. The wide, rounded profile of the pen makes it comfortable and easy to hold and maneuver.

People whose handwriting looks spidery and scratchy when they write with a fountain pen will find that replacing their medium nib with a broader nib will help them to form their letters and write smoothly and with style. Steel is a flexible material that can bounce back into shape more easily than gold. Steel nibs for fountain pens tend to keep their shape, no matter how much they’re used. This means that the writing experience you get when your nib is new is how it will stay and always be. If you’re able to come to one of our stores, you’re welcome to try our different nibs to find one that suits your handwriting style.

Rollerball pens unite the greatest features of ballpoints and fountain pens into one convenient writing instrument. Water-based or gelled ink ballpoint pens offer the durability and convenience of fountain pens without sacrificing the pleasant writing experience. The pen tip is a diameter ball between 0.5 and 0.7 millimeters. A fountain pen is a type of pen that employs a metal nib to deposit water-soluble ink onto paper. It’s different from traditional dip pens since it doesn’t require you to refill it from an inkwell constantly; instead, it has an ink reservoir built right into the pen. Because of gravity and capillary action, the pen takes ink from the reservoir to the nib and deposits it on paper.

All fountain pens listed on The Pen Shop website are supplied with a medium range nib. To arrange an alternative nib for your pen, please call us on 0191 232 3853 or email us on sales@penshop.co.uk and we’d be delighted to help you. It’s worth noting that, as a rule, cartridge pens use cartridges that are unique to their brand. For example, Cross, Parker, Waterman, Cross, Lamy and Sheaffer all manufacture cartridge pens, but none of their cartridges can be used between the different brands. When was the last time you looked for bottled inks? If you’re buying a fountain pen for the first time in a long time, we think you’ll be delighted with the range of modern inks we stock. Modern inks are low in chalk to give a brighter colour on the page ­– and they’re available in a wide range of vibrant shades.
