What the finish names mean
Prime: white barrel with colored trim or a see-through colored plunger. Vivid: solid colored barrel. Clear: translucent colored barrel that shows the ink level. Shine: glossy finish. Satin: brushed finish. Metallic: metallic-look finish, on plastic or metal depending on the series. Soft: rubberized soft-touch coating. Chrome: metallic barrel with chrome accents, used on the stylus pens.
The same series usually keeps its shape and imprint area across finishes, so you can compare prices of a Desoto Prime and a Desoto Clear knowing the logo will fit the same way.
Click, slide, twist or cap
Most Riteline pens are retractable click pens. The Lavon, Caddo, Laredo and Matador Chrome stylus pens use a slide action: you slide the clip down to extend the tip and slide it again to retract it. The Tyler and Bedford Twist open with a twist, and the Lucas, Hugo, Odessa, Amarillo and Bedford Roller have a cap.
Ink types
Standard Riteline pens write with ballpoint ink, in black or in black or blue depending on the model. RitePlus pens use a low-viscosity hybrid ink that needs less pressure. Gel pens give a darker, wetter line, and the Amarillo and Bedford rollerballs use liquid rollerball ink.
Frequently asked questions
Which Riteline pen has the largest imprint area?
The Alamo. Its barrel takes a large imprint and the optional XL clip carries a full-color logo; Riteline offers 23 XL clip colors.
Which Riteline pens are metal?
The Ranger, Marshall, Denton, Dawson, Marfa, Bedford, Alamo Metal pens and most stylus pens such as the Caddo, Arlington, Aledo, Tyler, Lucas and Hugo. The Metal column in the table above shows each series.
How do I identify a Riteline pen I already have?
Compare the clip shape, the barrel shape (round, three-sided like the Trinity or four-sided like the Lometa) and the action with the photos on the product pages. If it has a stylus and a slide clip, it is most likely a Lavon.
