Does the stylus work on phones and tablets?

Yes. The rubber tip at the top end is made for capacitive touchscreens, so it works on most phones and tablets. It is not a fine-point active stylus for drawing.

What kind of ink and tip does it use?

It is a medium-point ballpoint with black ink. The refill is a standard ballpoint type, so it can be swapped when it runs dry.

Can it be printed with a company logo?

Yes. The matte barrel is made for imprinting a company name or marketing message. Imprinting is arranged through the seller, not done by the buyer.

Is it safe for office and school use?

It is CA Prop 65 compliant and FDA approved, which covers common concerns for a pen handed out to the public.

How does it compare with a plain promotional pen?

It adds a touchscreen stylus, a metal clip and a textured grip over a basic stick pen. The trade-off is a plastic promotional build rather than a metal-bodied pen.
