Fountain pens have once again started selling very well across the world, after a period of long term decline which saw the rise of conventional ballpoint pens. This increase in the fountain pen’s popularity gives us pause for thought. Many of you may have been forced to use a fountain pen at school, and you therefore know that the art of writing was important, not only for encouraging neat handwriting, but also for helping you to develop logical thought processes. Fountain pens, pencils, ballpoint pens or roller pens are the tools used to record and convey our ideas. Today, we also have the keyboard. We’re all very busy nowadays, so the keyboard might be quick and simple, but don’t you think we’re sacrificing quality time for convenience? Hasn’t our quality time in fact diminished?

At Pentel, we’re constantly hearing how important it is for an individual to use our green-barrelled Ball Pentel rollerball, or how indispensable the Pentel Sign Pen or Energel is in someone’s work place. By the same token, we believe that using a fountain pen could stimulate brain function because of the thought processes required to control and use this type of product. Equally, neat and controlled writing could create more original, innovative and valuable artwork.

The new Pentel “Tradio” Fountain Pen comprises 2 standard and 5 fashionable vivid body colours to choose from – something to suit everybody’s taste. With a very European design, the Tradio Fountain Pen will rekindle an enjoyment in writing – even in today’s busy times. And of course, we have incorporated Pentel quality and affordability into the product. We hope you will agree that Tradio is the pen to use to rediscover the pleasure of handwriting.
