I'm sure someone makes little fibertip pens for

ballpoint/Biro FAQ somewhere in the interweb with tips on rejuvenating
ballpoints.
I'd check with an outfit that stocks pens for chart recorders. I
remember several recorders that used fibertip pens (much more
reliable than the capillary-feed variety). Moore even had a fibertip
retrofit kit for some of their units.
Speaking of pens and printers, does anyone recall a Japanese (Canon
or Seiko perhaps) printer of the 70s or 80 (ISTR) that featured the
ability to write script, complete with a bit of randomization so as
to appear handwritten by a human?
