Abstract: The present invention provides an aqueous writing ink composition capable of forming handwriting having both opacity and transparency, also a writing implement using the composition, and further a process for producing the composition. The aqueous writing ink composition according to the present invention comprises a white pigment, resin particles containing styrene-acrylonitrile, a colorant, and a polysaccharide. The content of the white pigment X %, that of the resin particles Y1% and that of the polysaccharide Y2% satisfy the conditions of 0.1?X?7,??[1] 0.5<(Y1+Y2)/X, and??[2] 10?2.5X+(Y1+Y2)?40.
Abstract: The present invention is a direct liquid type of writing tool including a pen tip; a columnar ink absorbent body connected to a rear end of the pen tip; an ink tank arranged on the ink absorbent body; and a plurality of communicating tubes for connecting the absorbent body and the ink tank. A front end of each of the communicating tubes is located in the ink absorbent body, and has a sloped surface facing an outer periphery side of the absorbent body. Each of the communicating tubes has an opening in the sloped surface at the front end and each has a tip end region adjacent to the opening and extending more frontward than the opening, and the tip end region forms a pressing part configured to press inside of the absorbent body when each of the tubes is inserted frontward from a rear end of the absorbent body.
Abstract: A writing instrument excellent in handwriting density and temporal stability. The writing instrument includes a ball-point pen tip attached to the front end portion of the ink storage cylinder; and a ball-point pen refill having an ink composition for a writing instrument loaded therein. The ink composition for the writing instrument is a thermochromic ink containing at least a thermochromic microcapsule pigment.
