rollerball pens

Ink flows freely

Rollerball pens use water-based ink delivered through a small rotating ball, producing smoother, more fluid lines than ballpoint pens.

The ink flows more freely, requiring less pressure to write but taking longer to dry.

I prefer rollerball pens for journaling because they glide across the page.
