Stylus is a print magazine devoted to fine writing instruments (e.g., fountain pens). It is published on a bi-monthly calendar and includes reviews of new pens and accessories, as well as articles about vintage pens, collecting, inks and paper. In addition to the magazine, the publishers produce a Pen Annual issue - the Annual Writing Instruments Directory. A fountain pen is a writing instrument, more specifically a pen, that contains a reservoir of water-based ink that is fed to a nib through a feed via a combination of gravity and capillary action. ...
The publisher is Fine Life Media of Connecticut, which also produces a sister magazine about fine watches called International Watch.
Stylus is regarded as a competitor and rival to Pen World International, another print magazine about fine pens that has a sister publication about fine watches.
In the sound recording industry, a stylus is a phonograph or gramophone needle used to play back sound on gramophone records, as well as to record the sound indentations on the master record.
In this method, a stylus that secretes no ink touches a touch screen instead of a finger to avoid getting the natural oil from one's hands on the screen, or produces brushstrokes in a computer screen, respectively.
A stylus may also be used to scribe a recording into smoked foil or glass.
