Why is the tip of the nib of pen slit?
The tip of nib of the pen has a slit. Because it gets the ink through slit under the capillarity action. In this action ink move through the slit on the nib of the pen. Which makes it to write.
How Does A Fontain Pen Work?
As a fountain pen is dragged along a piece of paper, ink flows through the feed (the part connecting the ink tank and the nib) and ink molecules are pulled onto the paper one after the other. Air is let in through the slit on the nib. Thus the ink continues to flow as long as the pen is in contact with the paper. When the pen is lifted, ink molecules do not experience any pull and hence do not fall off the pen.
What part of pen conveys the ink to the drawing surface?

What is a fountain pen?
A fountain pen is a nib pen that feeds ink the to nib via gravity and a capillary action that allows for smooth writing. They can store ink in the pens body or in an ink cartridge or converter which is can be re-filled with ink from an ink bottle.Major Fountain Pen brands are Parker, Waterman, Lamy, Cross, Montegrappa and many more
What do you buy for your pens that fills it with ink?
probably something called 'refill'.-A ball point pen will normally have a "refil". An ink Pen with nib will either have a cartridge which fits in side and passes ink to the nib or will have a rubber bulb which sucks up ink from a bottle and is fed to the nib by gravityYou will buy the pen's refill. But some pens will not have refills, so you can't buy it.

The thing at the tip of a pen?
ball pointAnswer:A proper pen has a nib at its tip, not a ball point. A nib is a steel device which i designed to hold a small reserve of ink either filled by dipping into an ink well or by drawing on a bladder in a fountain pen. The nib is split so that increased writing pressure makes a wider mark on the page. A pen nib may be designed for either cursive writing or calligraphy.
How do you load a calligraphy nib?
you just dip it in the bottle of ink, and ink will be on it, then you write with it like you would with a normal pen or pencil.
What do you buy for your pen and it fillsit with ink?
ink refills - There are 2 different types of "refill" 1. Cartridges - These are small tubes of ink which when placed in to the pen and the top screwed down causes a sharp-ended tube inside the pen to piece the end of the cartridge and allows the ink to flow. 2. The Pump Bulb. This is a small silicone tube which is fixed directly to the pens nib. The nib is placed in to an ink bottle and the silicon bulb is squeezed. This lifts the ink by suction in to the silicone bulb and which then flows out through the nib when writing is undertaken.
Why the name fountain pen?
It is called a "fountain pen" because the nib receives a continuous flow of ink from the reservoir or cartridge - which is the "fountain."
Why are some pens called retractable pens?
Because the nib that holds the ink can be retracted back into the pen.
