Spanish term

puntas rotring

Spanish to English Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
Este término tiene que ver con el arte digital. Estoy traduciendo una entrevista, en la cual una mujer habla de sus primeros diseños y dice: "...durante anos hice todos mis trabajos con pistolette y las puntas rotring hasta que en el año 1996 compré mi primera computadora Macintosh..." No se si el término refiere a un programa de computadora o otra cosa...Gracias por la ayuda!!!

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Jim Tucker (X)

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Note from asker:
Sorry everyone, I meant to question the term "pistolette" instead of "puntas rotring," which I did find on google. Thanks for the help, I needed confirmation anyways, but I'm going to open a new question to anyone who can help me with "pistolette." Sorry and thanks again for the help!!!

agree Andy Carr : Rotring are famous for their interchangeable nib system and their range of inks, at least amongst old gits like me. The pen is ancilliary. Google first next time, I'd advise.
