Why do they use a different pen to sign each one?

This is common; the pens are given as gifts to those involved in writing and sponsoring the bill. I've even seen some signatures where it was a single signature (not multiple copies) and it looked like a different pen was being used for each letter because they wanted that many to give out at the end.
