It can write.

If you mean advantages over the ballpoint pen, here they are:

- Fountain pens don't require much pressure from the hand while writing, so users can write for longer without tiring.

- Fountain pens require users to write at a steady pace to maintain a good ink

flow, effectively slowing the writer. This causes noticeably better handwriting.

(Whether you like it or not)

-Fountain pens last for a very long time. When used correctly, a good nib is

unlikely to wear down within a person's life. Most fountain pens are made

of sturdy metals, and are often passed down through generations.

- Fountain pen inks take longer to dry, but they are very different from

ballpoint pen inks. They come in dozens of vibrant colors that normal

ballpoint pens can't offer. The colors are stronger and don't fade easily.

Navy blue fountain pen ink, for example, looks much stronger and more

official than weaker blue ballpoint pen ink.

- Well-made fountain pens are well balanced. One gets used to it after using

it for years, and it feels so natural. Only the most expensive ballpoint pens

can come near to these pieces of art.
