Irish-owned office supplies specialist Codex has conducted research uncovering the daily habits of Irish workers, celebrating an office stationery product that is often overlooked – the humble pen.
The survey of over 600 Irish office workers found that even in the digital age, Irish workers still rely on a trusty pen and paper for taking notes. In fact, 65% of survey respondents still have up to five pens on their desk, while 30% have more than six pens to hand, showing that pens are still essential office supplies.
The survey went on to find that 85% of workers have a favourite pen, opting for models that write smoothly (51%), fit perfectly in their hand (22%) or are branded/company pens (13%). When it comes to ink colour, black is the top choice for two-thirds of respondents (62%), followed by blue ink for less than 30%. Many employees still take pride in their pens, with 1 in 4 workers willing to spend over €10 on a good writing pen.
The Codex survey revealed that ‘pen pinching’ is a common occurrence in Irish offices, with 85% of workers reporting that colleagues have swiped a pen from their desk and over 70% confessing that they have taken a pen from co-workers. The survey explored other items that employees have pinched from their offices including staplers, calculators, plants, toasters, and even a Christmas tree! However, certain items are seen as un-pinchable, with 1 in 2 respondents agreeing that personal food is off-limits, followed by favourite mugs (1 in 4).
“We had a lot of fun with this survey, but it also shows the enduring value of the humble pen, even in our digitally-dominated office lives,” says Emily McKenzie, Head of Marketing at Codex. “From light-hearted pen pinching to taking notes and signing important documents, there’s a reason pens are still one of our best-selling stationary items.
“This week, the Codex team will be out and about in Dublin city centre, handing out pens to busy worker bees,” says Emily. “We’re also hosting a great competition on local Dublin radio that gives Irish workers the chance to win lots of cool prizes so make sure you tune in – and keep a close eye on your favourite pen”
Xencelabs, the global provider of digital drawing solutions and new choice for creative professionals, today announces the Xencelabs Pen Display 16, its new pen-on-screen solution for creative content professionals in media and entertainment, industrial and graphic design, and others. The Xencelabs Pen Display 16’s footprint, quality build, value-added features, and attractive pricing also make it an ideal choice for educators and students in art and design programs, from animation and game development to 3D design and visual effects.
Inspiration is Everywhere. Create Where, When and How You Want
Designed with portability and convenience in mind, the Xencelabs Pen Display 16 will go wherever you want to take it. Slim at just .47 inches (12mm) and very light, 2.67 lbs (1.21kg), the profile and weight allow the device to be easily transported or conveniently placed on a desk. “The Xencelabs Pen Display 16 is easily transported between work and home,” says Michael Thompson, Head of Product for Xencelabs. “If home is where you work, the display can go wherever creativity takes you – your favorite café or to a client presentation. For users who might have limited desk space or would like to add a conveniently sized pen display to their workflow, look no further than the Xencelabs Pen Display 16. It is the ideal multi-tasking companion to a primary display or work setting where multiple displays are being used,” continues Thompson. Virtual Tablet, an innovative, time-saving feature within the Xencelabs driver, enables users to control multiple displays with the Xencelabs pen. Xencelabs’ new pen display is also ideally suited for educational purposes. Faculty, students and IT personnel will appreciate the limited desk space the unit occupies, as well as the robust styling, easy set up and intuitive driver. Additionally, the product would fit extremely well with student loaner programs, whereby students would be allowed to take the Xencelabs Pen Display 16 from classroom to home and back for assignments, exams, or other projects.
The Xencelabs Pen Display 16 will connect to any compatible PC, Mac or Linux laptop device via a single USB-C to USB-C cable. A 10-bit hub is included for those wanting to or required to connect through HDMI or Display Port. Naturally, Xencelabs provides all the necessary cables in the box.
The Xencelabs Mobile Easel is a stand designed for portability. It ships with the Xencelabs Pen Display 16 and provides two drawing angles, 18.3° and 32° respectively. Flexibility is one of the hallmarks of the Xencelabs Pen Display 16 and the number of ways you can use the device is a testament to Xencelabs’ product design philosophy.
This coming summer, the Xencelabs Desktop Easel will be available as an optional purchase. The stand provides a wide range of tilt angles as well as rotation. The Desktop Easel provides a standard VESA mount for attaching to articulating arms. In keeping with the focus on mobility, the Desktop Easel has a quick release mechanism to enable artists to switch between desktop operation and mobile environments. No screwdrivers or other tools are needed. Xencelabs also includes a smartly designed protective carrying case that can house the Xencelabs Pen Display 16, accessories, cabling, and the user’s laptop.
OLED Display for Stunning Image Quality
By offering a 4K OLED pen display, Xencelabs is answering the call from creative users wanting the colours from their drawings and paintings to be more vivid and realistic. “Pen Display color continues to be of major importance to creatives,” says Thompson. “After working with dozens of artists, we chose an OLED display to deliver remarkable vibrance, brightness and contrast levels. The OLED display also provides an absence of visual artifacts such as backlight bleeding and blooming pixels. Most importantly, the Xencelabs Pen Display 16’s OLED design provides near perfect black levels and artists delight in the devices ability to create lifelike colours against a true black background.”
In addition, the Xencelabs Pen Display 16’s edge-to-edge, super-AG etched glass surface offers a seamless and natural drawing experience that feels just like a real pen on paper or paintbrush on canvas. Artists working in studio or classroom environments with high amounts of ambient light will appreciate the pen display’s uncanny ability to reduce glare. Supporting up to 1.07 billion colors, the pen display features five factory-calibrated colour spaces: Adobe® RGB (98%), P3-DCS (98%), sRGB (99%), Rec 2020 and Rec 709. The display’s aluminium back housing ensures rapid heat dissipation without any disruptive fan noise.
Fluid, Accurate, Responsive Pen Performance
The Xencelabs Pen Display 16 comes with two pressure-sensitive pens to meet with the ergonomic or style needs of the artist. The 3-Button pen has a wider barrel with three customisable buttons for placing commonly used keyboard shortcuts directly on the pen. The Thin Pen is for those who are looking for the feel and effects produced by a real pencil or thinner brush. It has two buttons for convenient customisation. Both pens come with a pressure-sensitive eraser. “Our pens are designed to the highest standards and digitally replicate the natural feel and feedback one would get using a real pen or brush,” states Thompson. “Incredibly responsive and smooth pen pressure curves are easily adjusted with the Xencelabs driver to align with various drawing styles.”
Quick Keys, other Accessories
Quick Keys, Xencelabs’ hand-held remote for creating software application specific shortcuts to boost productivity, ships with the Xencelabs Pen Display 16 Bundle. This super user-friendly device provides five customisable groups of eight keys for a total of 40 shortcuts per application. Each of the eight keys have an OLED display that shows the user-defined name of the shortcut. Additionally, the Quick Keys colour-coded dial delivers up to four customised application tasks such as zoom, rotate, pan, and brush size. Quick Keys works up to 53 hours on a single charge.

Today, we all want to make the best use of our time and continuously learn and grow in the significant areas of life, which are family, career, health, social, spiritual, and financial. But a vision with consistent efforts distinguishes the successful person from the rest of the crowd.
Here we will discuss the four crucial elements of defining a champion of personal and professional growth:
Evaluate your life
Self-awareness is a critical element of personal growth. Hence it is crucial to understand yourself and your plans thoroughly before you get down to the execution process. Taking out time and writing your small and big goals in your diary with a Parker fountain pen in the form of a checklist will help you in navigating your plans.
According to CNBC, a psychology professor at the Dominican University of California reflects upon the power of writing down your goals. Citing, the study concludes that those participants who wrote their goals could achieve them at a remarkably higher level than those who didn’t. Amazingly, the study concluded that simply by writing your goals on a daily basis, you become 42% more likely to accomplish your pursuits.
Keep your Ambitions and Standards High:
Our choices and investments define our standards. Investment in quality products like Parker pen reflects your unique taste. Investing in relationships with people who help you grow instead of lowering your standards to fit in with others reflects your priorities.
Investing time to give good self-talk to inculcate self-discipline reflects your leadership quality. Your unique taste and your high standard for health, wealth, mindset, and things surrounding you contribute to reaching a better self personally and professionally.
Manage your time
Moving to next, management of time, now after setting your goals and vision. It is important to align them to your day-to-day routine and make the most out of your time. Today, the generation is investing more time in doom scrolling and less time in their personal and professional growth. We all are victims of mindless engagement with technology and missing out on the crucial activities of personal and professional development. SWOT Analysis:
Another element that contributes significantly to your personal and business growth is knowing your strengths and weaknesses. It helps you take advantage of the new business opportunities and jump on the trends bandwagon and implement new ideas by evaluating your weakness and counteracting your threats efficiently and strategically. Keep Learning: Regardless of vision and goals for life, it is essential to learn and evolve continuously. Today in the fast-paced life, we must adapt to newer and better options and improve and enrich ourselves. One crucial element of building a leader in you is continuous learning.
As a business owner, entrepreneur, or team leader, you should know how to manage unwarranted situations and issues on a daily basis. Henceforth, your skill set needs to consist of the latest and most advanced competencies in various fields. Your communication skills, cognitive capabilities, commercial and business know-how, and technical nitty-gritty should be updated with contemporary trends and practices.
