Is it the paper or the pen?

340 viewsOther

Sometimes when writing with a ballpoint pen midword or mid-sentence the pen stops writing momentarily. If you pick up the pen start on a different section of paper it seems to correct itself immediately but if you go back to that original section it still won’t write. Is this a pen issue or a paper issue? I’m over 50 and I’ve believe I know how to use a pen, but this issue has been present as long as I can remember.

Greasy fingerprints or slightly wet paper can accidentally clean the ball, writing somewhere else can allow the ball to re ink, going back to the original place it will stop again. Right handers often leave grease behind as their hand moves across the page unknowingly. Sometimes the texture of paper plays a part in this.
