Consequently it was called plumbago (latin for acts like lead). Cellulose, the material that paper is made of, is also naturally charged, and so a compound that complexes with both the dye and the paper surface aids retention at the surface. The major change was to include additives that make the ink normally much more viscous, but thin out under pressure.

Also, the nib is more easily removed and substituted, for different kinds of styles of line, making it a cost-effective tool for calligraphy. Fountain pens as works of artfountain pens are often prized as works of art. A mechanical pencil or propelling pencil is one in which the graphite core can be refilled over and over, by inserting it into the removable cap and clicking or twisting the mechanism to feed out the desired amount of graphite as it wears down.

Using a quill pen was in fact a complex and often frustrating exercise due to the irregular flow of ink from the quill and other factors. This method of manufacture remains in use today. These concerns are not merely side issues but rather display the comprehensive problems that occur when production dominates thinking.

Although older machines predated it, the fourdrinier paper making machine became the basis for most modern papermaking. The decades that followed saw many technological innovations in the manufacture of fountain pens. Even these proto-languages show significant structure.

By the 1940s, writing preferences had shifted towards stiffer nibs that could withstand the greater pressure required for writing through copy paper to create duplicate documents. Initially symbols were recorded to indicate objects and actions performed by those objects most often for recording of rituals - so-called logotypical alphabets, shortly after this the same symbols are seen to be used to record categories of objects, most often in commerce.

The first fountain pens making use of all these key ingredients came out in the 1850s, but it was in the 1880s that the era of the mass-produced fountain pen finally began. In an oriented piece of graphite, conductivity parallel to these sheets is greater than that perpendicular to these sheets. Thus, if an optical brightener or colour enhancer absorbs light energy and emits it through or with the dye, the appearance changes, as the spectrum of light re-emitted to the observer changes.

Progress was slow, however, up until the early 19th century, after which there was a steadily accelerating stream of fountain pen patents and pens in production. The kneaded eraser is also well-known among artists. Other additives are employed to enhance various properties of the paper, the most common of which are optical brighteners.
