Some American friends know that Japanese stationaries such as ball point pens, marker pens, erasers, … are very sophisticated design, quality, and easy to use.
Upper picture shows most popular marking pen with both side cap and markers : “PROPOS 2″, and award-winning ball point pens : “Jet Stream” with very smooth touch of fine lines.
There are many types of ball point pens from many stationary manufactures with different attractive features and functions.
Recently, new types of paste are very popular.
Upper left : “Dot Liner” is tape style acid-free paste just like printed dots on the tape.
Upper right : How to use “Dot Liner”. Notice that the blue dots are adhesive.
When you want to do cut-and-paste work, your fingers will never touch the adhesive part and finish condition of two papers (top and bottom) is very smooth and clean.
This type of paste has refill cartridge as the ball point pen has.
Upper is the simple manual to explain “how to use”, ’how to lick up the slack”, and “how to replace the cartridge”.
Sorry all in Japanese, but all of the illustrations will help your understandings.
