About the original
The Pentel Presto Jumbo Correction Pen (ZL31-W) is a 12 ml correction fluid dispenser with a fine-point metal tip, a squeeze-barrel design that resists hand fatigue, and a quick-drying opaque white formula rated for ballpoint, rollerball, felt-tip, photocopy, and typewriter ink. Pentel was founded in Tokyo in 1946 and has manufactured pens, markers, and correction products for the Japanese stationery market ever since. The flat barrel keeps the pen from rolling off a desk; the formula is ozone-safe. The Supreme version prints the box logo on a standard ZL31 body.
About Pentel
Pentel is a Japanese writing-instruments manufacturer founded in 1946 by Yukio Horie in Tokyo, originally as Japan Stationery Limited producing crayons and pastels for postwar schools. The company released the Sign Pen in 1963, the first commercial fiber-tipped (felt-tip) pen, which Lyndon B. Johnson bought by the dozen and which flew on NASA's Gemini 6 mission in 1966. The lineup expanded into the Hi-Polymer eraser, the Graph 1000 drafting pencil, and the EnerGel rollerball series. The company renamed to Pentel Co. Ltd. in 1971, and Horie remained president until his death in 2010. Supreme collaborated with Pentel on co-branded Sign Pen sets.
