PARKER QUINKflow Ballpoint Pen Ink Refill, Fine Tip, Blue

New ink is good ink This is conventional oil based ball point pen ink. It would appear that ink can grow old and in this case the new ink worked better than the original. The pen requires less pressure to get the ink down. This fit my Parker Jotter pen just fine. The new ink seems to go down to paper easier than old ink. Ink pens are nice because they are more conventional/widespread than fountain pens and the ink, being oil based, is not prone to the affects of water. A cheap/free plastic pen may work well too. May be hard to justify a replacement cartridge but a quality pen may be less prone to leakage/skipping etc if that's important to you.

Very nice. I was surprised that it fit the pen my grandmother used much of her life. She passed 23 years ago. I changed to fine point and like it better than the medium point that was in it.

I bought this refill for a 1968 Jotter. It arrived quickly, fit perfectly and writes wonderfully. My wife, who has no interest in pens said “wow this writes so nice, thanks for the pen.” Don’t buy this refill on fear of losing your pen.

The pen refill was shipped and received promptly, but it was supposed to be a medium point. I will still use it.

Parker makes excellent quality writing instruments and the refill fits that standard. I write every day (yes, I'm old school) and I don't like using pens that have inconsistent ink flow. This refill always flows smoothly and consistently. The price is higher than you would pay for many other refills for lesser quality pens, but you're getting what you pay for. This refill lasts far longer than the cheaper pens that would need to be thrown out or refilled several times in the same period.

Fit my pen perfectly

This refill cartridge fits many different kinds of pens. It writes excellently.

Shortly after using, the pen doesn't write properly. Colour is faded and ink flow is inconsistent, sometimes not even writing at all.

Always useful to have these refills on standby. Quality is good, easy to replace when they run out however they last.

Original one

Scratchy pen refills; can't be used. This isn't the first time this has happened. They've gone straight into the bin. Beware of buying these refills.

Everything is, and was, great. However, the refills themselves don't seem to last terribly long ... that is, I don't seem to write a lot of pages before the refill dries out. But I knew that before I made this purchase ... I have used Parker refills for many, many years, and keep coming back. I just wish that each refill would last a bit longer, as they are somewhat expensive. But it was easy to make the purchase, the delivery was super quick, and the ink quality is great.

Super, tut was es soll
