About Prisma Papelería

Prisma is a papelería on Third Avenue in Chula Vista, California. The online catalogue is our counter stock — pens, notebooks and writing paper, highlighters and desk organisers — photographed and specified item by item rather than bulk-imported from a supplier feed.

What we stock

  • Pens — gel and ballpoint, in the nib sizes people actually ask for
  • Notebooks & Writing Paper — spiral notebooks, stationery sets and envelopes
  • Highlighters & Washi Tape — marking up, and decorating what you marked
  • Desk Organisers — caddies, drawer units and pen holders

Why we print the nib size

A 0.4 mm gel pen and a 0.7 mm gel pen are different objects. One suits small handwriting and cramped planner boxes; the other suits signing things and writing that has to be read across a desk. People who like a pen usually like a specific nib size, and they are rarely told what it is.

So every pen here carries the nib size, whether the ink is gel or oil-based ballpoint, whether it is retractable or capped, and how many are in the pack. Erasable pens are labelled as erasable, because thermo-sensitive ink behaves differently in a hot car.

Paper, and what it will take

Writing paper and notebooks are listed with sheet count and, where the manufacturer publishes it, ruling and paper weight. Weight is what decides whether your pen bleeds through — the lighter the paper, the more careful you have to be with gel and fountain ink.

Ordering

Orders are placed online and shipped from Chula Vista. Charges, timings and the returns window are set out on the Shipping Policy and Return & Refund Policy pages. The shop itself is open seven days a week if you would rather choose a pen by holding it.
