FIBRE PENS

Historical overview:

The late 50´s /early 60´s: The first Japanese-made fibre pens came onto the market.

The invention of the fibre pen was clearly influenced by the notion of connecting the brush directly with an ink reservoir in order to avoid constantly dipping it into the writing fluid.To this end, the brush tip fibres needed to be joined together and consolidated in a fibre tip, as otherwise the ink flow to the tip could not be assured (capillary effect).

Thanks to its smooth gliding action on paper as well as the rich colour and luminous lustre of its ink, the fibre pen enjoyed rapid and triumphant success around the world to the extent that today we could not imagine schools, nursery schools and children’s rooms without them.
