Abstract
A writing tip or nib for a reservoir pen is provided comprising a thin-walled hollow element (10), e.g. of metal, having an outwardly convex end wall portion (12) defining the writing surface of the tip, and several perforations (13) extending through the end wall portion for conducting ink directly to the writing surface from inside the tip. The perforations may be at least 8 in number and measure 50-200 microns across. The outer edges of the perforations are smoothly rounded at the writing surface and the perforations taper gradually inwardly from the writing surface.
