== Rollerball Pens ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' I actually think the next one on my list – so that's the ballpoint, the Pilot Acroball, the .7 millimeter blue. That reminds me. One more thing on this Acroball and related to the glossary. Actually, ballpoint – I think I might have touched on it in the first episode but ballpoint tip sizes do not correlate to gel ink and liquid ink pen tip sizes from a line width perspective. They're the same measurement, right? A .7 millimeter is the same size whether it's in a ballpoint or a gel ink pen but the line width of a .7 millimeter gel ink pen is going to be much wider than a ballpoint .7 millimeter pen and that's because of the ink properties. You know, you're used to – you like the .7 millimeter gels. You know, that makes a nice wide rich line. You know, with the ballpoint, it's a little bit of a drier ink. So if you're expecting that nice wide rich line with a ballpoint, you have to go up to a 1.0 millimeter ballpoint to get that same – that comparable .7 millimeter gel ink tip width. Excuse me, line width. See, I'll mess that up nearly every episode.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So what's next? The liquid ink or rollerball pen that I like using the most – it's probably my – it's definitely my favorite liquid ink pen. But I will say I use my gel ink and ballpoint pens much more than the liquid ink pen is the Uniball Vision Elite. And I think this might be another one that's called something different over there in the UK. And this is a pretty common pen, so I'll have to look that up for you.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I'll tell you what. I'm going to go get one from my bag.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Okay. You know which pen I'm talking about?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yep. I've looked at it on Amazon and I have one.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Keep talking.
