A device for preventing drying of ink in a writing instrument, in particular, a writing instrument provided with a tubular holder made of synthetic resin. The writing instrument is internally provided with a tubular ink-cartridge containing ink and a liquid retainer impregnated with liquid whose vapor pressure is higher than that of the liquid in the ink in the ink-cartridge, provided in an inner space of the holder so as to control evaporation of ink from the cartridge by the use of vapor evaporating from the impregnated retainer. |
