Biro is a brand of pens that was developed by the Hungarian inventor Laszio Biro. He wanted to develop a pen that would write under different altitudes without running or splattering. He sent 30,000 pens with British air force pilots during World War II to test his pen. Today, you can purchase a Biro pen. The ink is similar to ballpoint pen ink, but it is thinner. This does not affect your ability to remove it from plastic.
