[Reference] About “uni-ball one”
The uni-ball one, which was newly released in February 2020, has the ability to write clearly and clearly, and the simple design that blends into the living space. It has been well received by a wide range of people.
Features of the newly developed “Uniball One Ink”
The “uni-ball one” ink uses a new pigment that minimizes the penetration of the coloring material into the paper fibers, unlike general gel ink.
The pigment used in “Uniball One Ink” is a proprietary bead pack pigment that encloses conventional coloring materials in particles. By confining the pigment, which is the coloring material of the ink, in the particles and increasing the size of the particles, the penetration of the coloring material into the paper surface is suppressed as much as possible. As a result, the color material on the paper develops its original color, the black becomes darker, and the color develops more vividly.

1. Blacks are darker and colors are more vivid, making it easier to remember and write crisp, crisp letters.
Compared to general gel ink, the black color is much darker. Through joint research with our company and Ritsumeikan University, we found that darker and sharper characters are easier to remember for black. By using “uni-ball one”, which is darker than general gel ink, you can write letters that will leave an impression when you look back at your notebook.

Under the supervision of Professor Masashi Hattori of the College of Comprehensive Psychology, Ritsumeikan University, we conducted a “memory recall task”, an experimental method of cognitive psychology, for high school students. When we compared the memorization
performance of handwritten characters with ballpoint pens of different shades, we found that characters written with uni-ball one’s dark black ink had a higher correct answer rate and a higher recall rate than those written with general gel ink. I got
The results of this research were reported at the 38th Annual Conference of the Japanese Psychological Association.

2. Ink that dries quickly and does not bleed
General quick-drying ink dries quickly by making the ink permeate the paper faster. As a result, ink bleeding and strike-through sometimes occurred.
The newly developed “Uniball One Ink” changes the ratio of solid to liquid components in the ink, making it possible for the liquid component to quickly permeate the paper surface while leaving the solid coloring material on the paper surface. increase. Although it is a quick-drying ink that penetrates quickly into the paper surface, it does not bleed or bleed through because it suppresses the absorption of colorants into the paper surface.
■Simple and straight shaft design
The shaft design is simple and straight. In addition to its stylish design, the oval-shaped “open wire clip” is a movable clip that can be easily clipped to notebooks and notebooks, and is also functional. -Click here for a list of Mitsubishi Pencil press releases-
