Marcel Bich also introduced a ballpoint pen to the American marketplace in the 1950s, licensed from Bíró and based on the Argentine designs. [4] [27] Bich shortened his name to Bic in 1953, forming the ballpoint brand Bic now recognized globally. [5] Bic pens struggled until the company launched its "Writes First Time, Every Time!" [28] [29] advertising campaign in the 1960s. [5] Competition during this era forced unit prices to drop considerably. [5] Inks [ edit ]

However, the reason most ballpoint pens on the Earth do not work when writing upside-down is because the Earth's gravity pulls the ink inside the pen away from the tip of the pen, resulting in a bad writing experience. However, in space, the regular ballpoint pens can work upside-down because the microgravity in space is not strong enough to pull the ink away from the tip of the pen and capillary action prevails. [39] The reliability of the regular ballpoint pen was tested in space [40] by Pedro Duque, an ESA astronaut in 2003.

The common ballpoint pen is a product of mass production, with components produced separately on assembly lines. [54] Basic steps in the manufacturing process include the production of ink formulas, molding of metal and plastic components, and assembly. [4] Marcel Bich (leading to Société Bic) was involved in developing the production of inexpensive ballpoint pens. [5] Standards [ edit ]Ballpoint pens are sometimes provided free by businesses, such as hotels and banks, printed with a company's name and logo. Ballpoints have also been produced to commemorate events, such as a pen commemorating the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy. [4] These pens, known as "advertising pens," are the same as standard ballpoint pen models, but have become valued among collectors. Avoid putting any other items in the wash. This may seem wasteful but you don’t want to risk transferring the ink to any other garments.

Rollerball pens employ the same ballpoint mechanics, but with the use of water-based inks instead of oil-based inks. [31] Compared to oil-based ballpoints, rollerball pens are said to provide more fluid ink-flow, but the water-based inks will blot if held stationary against the writing surface. Water-based inks also remain wet longer when freshly applied and are thus prone to "smearing"—posing problems to left-handed people (or right handed people writing right-to-left script)—and "running", should the writing surface become wet.
