Pens and Pencils: import and export
March 28th 2024
Pens and Pencils are a part of Office and stationary supplies. A pen is a common writing instrument that applies to a surface, usually paper, for writing or drawing. Today, such pens find only a small number of specialized uses, such as in illustration and calligraphy. Reed pens, quill pens and dip pens, which were used for writing, have been replaced by ballpoint pens, rollerball pens, fountain pens and felt or ceramic tip pens. Ruling pens, which were used for technical drawing and cartography, have been replaced by technical pens such as the Rapidograph. All of these modern pens contain internal ink reservoirs, such that they do not need to be dipped in ink while writing.
