Therefore, writing with a carbon pen will not be blurred because it is kept for too long. Pen holder and pen cover are made of plastic injection molding, stainless steel stamping and polishing. The nib is divided into two types: cannonball type and needle tube type, which are made of copper alloy, stainless steel or engineering plastic respectively. Most balls are made of stainless steel, cemented carbide or alumina.
