II. Selection Guide
1. Determine the Usage Scenario Firstly, choose a ballpoint pen based on your usage scenario. If you often need to write, such as students and office workers, it is recommended to choose a ballpoint pen with smooth writing and long-lasting ink. If you often use it outdoors, a waterproof and shockproof ballpoint pen will be a better choice. 2. Consider the Material of the Pen Barrel The material of the pen barrel is also an important factor to consider when choosing a ballpoint pen. Common materials for pen barrels include plastic, metal, and wood. plastic pen barrels are light and durable, with a relatively low price; metal pen barrels look high-end and atmospheric but are relatively expensive; wooden pen barrels have a unique texture and touch, suitable for users who pursue quality. You can choose the appropriate material based on your needs and budget. 3. Pay Attention to the Tip Type Different tip types will affect the writing experience. Common tip types include different sizes of ballpoint tips and different hardness levels of the tips. You can choose a suitable tip type based on your writing habits and needs. For example, users who like to write in fine or have high requirements for fonts can choose a small ballpoint tip; while users who like to write with bold ink or practice calligraphy can choose a coarser ballpoint tip or a tip with different hardness levels. 4. Consider Brand and After-sales Service Brand and after-sales service are also factors to consider when choosing a ballpoint pen. Generally, well-known brands of ballpoint pens have more reliable quality and more comprehensive after-sales service. In addition, if there are problems with the writing or ink consumption of the ballpoint pen you purchased, you can contact the after-sales service for repair or replacement in time. Therefore, it is recommended to choose products from well-known brands when purchasing.
