Inkless Metal Pen from Grand Illusions
by Sze | Filed under Funny, Others.
This is a inkless pen from Grand Illusions. The Inkless Metal Pen is a 8cm long stainless steel pen. Its ‘nib’ is a solid piece of metal which can write on almost any type of paper. Grand Illusions explains how does the pen work:
In the Medieval period, artists and scribes often used a metal stylus in order to draw on a specially prepared paper surface. Generally known as Metalpoint, or Silverpoint when the stylus was made of silver, artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Dürer and Rembrandt all used this technique. http://www.silverpointweb.com/index.html gives a lot of information about how it works.
The pens we sell are a modern version (and do not use silver). The solid metal ‘nib’ consists of a metal alloy, that leaves a mark on most types of paper. If you use the sort of paper typically used in printers and photocopiers, the pen leaves a mark that looks as if it was made by a pencil. However the line will not smudge, and cannot be rubbed out.
