In the eyes of pen pals, engraving on the pen container is a waste of time and madness.
1, ugly, especially the popular online font laser lettering in China. This good pen reveals a strong local flavor from the inside out.
2, hurt the pen, now most pens are popular with copper bar paint, the real lettering principle is to remove the paint on the surface. After a long time, the brass exposed on the surface was oxidized to black and mottled. Engraving is not only the damage to the paint surface of the pen holder, but also the damage to the material of the pen holder itself. Of course, it's ugly after oxidation.
3. Several pens are specially used for lettering. In the last century, Xifeili produced a series of "signature" pens. This signature is not his signature, but a pen that "signs his name on the pen holder". That is to make a fuss about the decorative gold ring of the pen cap, which is convenient to engrave the user's name after widening.
4, lettering pays attention to artistry. Some antique pens of the last century have a trace of historical charm, some are beautiful flowers, and some are simple two or three letters, mostly the user's name or initials. China and Japan, on the other hand, prefer to carve a calligraphy-rich text on the pen by hand. In short, it is different from the visual sense of lettering that gives people a "cheap gift pen with strong lettering contradiction" at a glance.
5. For some pens with complicated barrel technology, lettering is equivalent to destroying a work of art ... Think about what it's like to carve a few China colorful clouds when painting Dupenheim lacquer, Tagge 14 lacquer and Nami wood. Yes, despair.
6. Finally, if you buy pens at the counter, you not only need to pay extra for engraving, but also don't enjoy the return service for engraving pens.
