Marcel Bich also introduced a ballpoint pen to the American marketplace in the 1950s, licensed from Bíró and based on the Argentine designs. [4] [27] Bich shortened his name to Bic in 1953, forming the ballpoint brand Bic now recognized globally. [5] Bic pens struggled until the company launched its "Writes First Time, Every Time!" [28] [29] advertising campaign in the 1960s. [5] Competition during this era forced unit prices to drop considerably. [5] Inks [ edit ] Cresce, Greg (11 August 2012).

Types of ballpoint pens [ edit ] Bic Cristal ballpoint pens shown in four basic ink colors Twist action ballpoint pen with large capacity G2 type refill. Model: Waterman Stainless Steel Commonly used ballpoint refill types (diameter and length given in millimeters)It is generally believed that because of a ballpoint pen's reliance on gravity to coat the ball with ink, most cannot be used to write upside-down. However, the reason most ballpoint pens on the Earth do not work when writing upside-down is because the Earth's gravity pulls the ink inside the pen away from the tip of the pen, resulting in a bad writing experience. However, in space, the regular ballpoint pens can work upside-down because the microgravity in space is not strong enough to pull the ink away from the tip of the pen and capillary action prevails. [39] The reliability of the regular ballpoint pen was tested in space [40] by Pedro Duque, an ESA astronaut in 2003. The common ballpoint pen is a product of mass production, with components produced separately on assembly lines. [54] Basic steps in the manufacturing process include the production of ink formulas, molding of metal and plastic components, and assembly.
