What is the difference between a rollerball pen and a ballpoint pen?

Roller ball pens use a ball point like ballpoint pens, but use water-based or gelled ink, while ballpoint pens use oil-based inks.
In comparison to ballpoint pens, this gives roller ball pens advantages such as:
- Less pressure needs to be applied to the pen to have it write cleanly.
- The inks usually have a greater range of colors.
- They tend to write finer lines.

∙ 14y agoThey are basically the same things, but the basic difference is the ink. In ballpoint pens the ink is oil-based paste ink that dries immediately. It is suited for all types of writing styles. On the other hand the ink of a rollerball pen is more fluid than a ballpoint, so it seldom skips, but the ink does take a few seconds to dry. The ink in a rollerbal usually funs out sooner than in a ballpoint pen.
