A fountain pen is a nib pen that, unlike its predecessor the dip pen, contains an internal reservoir of water-based liquid ink. From the reservoir, the ink is drawn through a feed to the nib and then to the paper via a combination of gravity and capillary action. As a result, the typical fountain pen requires little or no pressure to write. Filling the reservoir with ink may be done manually (via the use of an eyedropper or syringe), or via an internal "filler" mechanism which creates suction to transfer ink directly through the nib into the reservoir. Some pens employ removable reservoirs, in the form of pre-filled ink cartridges. These Parker Duofolds from the 1920s used the Lucky Curve feed system and self-filled using a "button filler". They were quite long; nearly 7 inches long when posted.From Wikipedia under the

Q. I am looking for a pen that looks like any other normal fountain pen or ball point pen, but the tip of it looks like the tip of a quill. The ink stays inside the pen at all times, it's not an old fashioned one. Can anyone tell me where I can get one of these? Not anything expensive! Thanks! :-) Asked by Thatoneguy - Sun Aug 5 03:27:20 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. The proper term is "Calligraphy Pen". You can buy them almost anywhere pens are sold. If you're from the US, Wal-Mart carries them, Things Remembered carries the, Staples carries them, and they can be ordered online at Quill.com. This type of pen is for fancy lettering and printing. If you get the set, there are various interchangeable tips you can put in the pen for different types of lettering.
