Pens for the left handed?
gtz | Jul 8 2007
Hi. But as I'm left handed, I brush over the freshly written ink = I get a coloured hand.:( So fountain pens seem to be no option. I'm impressed with the Fisher Space Pen. The aim is: Compact and quick drying. cheers P.S.: I have a mechanical pencil at the moment. 24 Comments

I write left-handed too, however I've never had this smearing problem you guys describe. Maybe I hold the pen higher up the barrel and at a lower angle than most? There are probably other factors too that involve my writing posture, wrist, arm, shoulder, hips...maybe even finger length! Right now I am writing on lined refill paper and I count 4 blank lines of clearance between the ink on the page and the closest part of my hand that is touching the page which is the highest joint of my 4th finger. I tried to write in a way that would cause my hand to smear over the writing but it was too painful to move both my writing and my hand onto the same line on the page! » POSTED IN:
