Both the ancient Chinese (with rice paper) and ancient Egyptians (papyrus) used colored pigments as writing ink. This was between 2500 and 3500 BC.
The first pens were reeds, bamboo, and bird feathers (quills), and quills were used extensively from the 5th through the 1st century BC, notably for the Dead Sea scrolls. By 79 AD, Romans were using metal-nib pens dipped in ink.
The "fountain pen" was invented in France by student Petrache Poenaru in 1827, and subsequently patented by the French government. The first ball-point pens designs appeared around 1888, and in 1938 Hungarian inventor Laslo Biro and his brother George patented a version of the modern ball-socket ink pens.
