If the ink does not flow down to the feed, the pen stops writing even if the reservoir is full. \u003cbr\u003eThe beads act as mobile weights that, by moving, break this tension and force the ink to slide towards the nib.\u003cbr\u003eFurthermore, some inks tend to settle at the bottom, and in this case, the beads act by mixing the pigments or metallic particles and ensuring a uniform colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePilot\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e includes these beads in its converters to ensure maximum reliability of ink flow.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e","brand":"Pilot","offers":[{"title":"Blu \/ Extra Fine","offer_id":56918943498505,"sku":"PL0310.BL.EF","price":235.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blu \/ Fine","offer_id":56924486533385,"sku":"PL0310.BL.F","price":235.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blu \/ Medium","offer_id":56924486566153,"sku":"PL0310.BL.M","price":235.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blu \/ Stub","offer_id":56924486598921,"sku":"PL0310.BL.ST","price":235.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Giallo \/ Extra Fine","offer_id":56918943629577,"sku":"PL0310.GI.EF","price":235.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Giallo \/ Fine","offer_id":56924486631689,"sku":"PL0310.GI.F","price":235.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Giallo \/ Medium","offer_id":56924486664457,"sku":"PL0310.GI.M","price":235.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Giallo \/ Stub","offer_id":56924486697225,"sku":"PL0310.GI.ST","price":235.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rosso \/ Extra Fine","offer_id":56918943760649,"sku":"PL0310.RO.EF","price":235.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rosso \/ Fine","offer_id":56924486729993,"sku":"PL0310.RO.F","price":235.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rosso \/ Medium","offer_id":56924486762761,"sku":"PL310.RO.M","price":235.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rosso \/ Stub","offer_id":56924486795529,"sku":"PL0310.RO.ST","price":235.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Nero \/ Extra Fine","offer_id":56918943990025,"sku":"PL0310.NE.EF","price":235.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Nero \/ Fine","offer_id":56924486828297,"sku":"PL0310.NE.F","price":235.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Nero \/ Medium","offer_id":56924486861065,"sku":"PL0310.NE.M","price":235.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Nero \/ Stub","offer_id":56924486893833,"sku":"PL0310.NE.ST","price":235.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0945\/8797\/7993\/files\/PIcaplessNera.jpg?v=1774712770"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.pens.business\/en\/collections\/penne-laccate.oembed","provider":"pens.business by Giardino Italiano","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
