PentelLR7-C Refill Ink for EnerGel Pentel BL57/77/107/108/407 bright blue

All good

These refills are fine - the Pentel gel pens are nice to use and don't have the scratchy nibs that some suffer from. So no complaints with that. But a couple fo things bother me on the sustainability front:1. They don't last long and being a plastic/metal construction, no hint about how to recycle them when empty.2. They're wildly over-packaged. They come in a long strip, each one with its own individual wrapper. This isn't a premium item, chaps, it's a refill for a cheap pen. When buying 12 or more, supplying them in a cardboard box would be much more sustainable.It's a small thing perhaps but enough to make me switch back to using a journal with better quality paper (yes you, Moleskine, are the culprit here) and go back to a refillable fountain pen.

These will save you throwing a good pen away just refill and away you go again ..pleased with there high quality, will buy more

*UPDATE*After emailing seller (in Sept), not expecting response, just to say how disappointed I was, they offered refund or to send full order. I opted for order and it came. I'm satisfied and was pleasantly surprised by their helpfulness and prompt action. (I did have to pay a customs charge but that's not their fault)P.S. You can often now get 12 BL77 pens for similar price to 12 of the more expensive colour refills (i.e. not black or blue which are usually cheaper anyway). Depends if you want to recycle...!Previous review:Very disappointed and angry, with myself too. I've been using these refills for about 6 or 7 years and annually reorder BUT I'll be VERY wary in future. I didn't look at the reviews because I know the product.I ordered (for the first time) more than one. I thought I'd be getting 24 refills for the price. Received this morning: TWO Individual refills (NOT BOXES OF REFILLS).CAUGHT, TRICKED, AND P*SSED OFF.I ALWAYS read the info VERY carefully and the picture was definitely of a BOX.I now have 2 very expensive refills.

Good product quick delivery

For the past few years I've been on a quest for a truly great pen, and I found it. These pens write beautifully, with a very true black, they are comfortable to hold and I don't find myself with any sore spots after using them in 2 hour exams. They also don't have any repercussions further up my arm, as the ink flows easily and requires hardily any pressure to write beautifully. The ink dries extremely quickly, and even on shiny birthday card I've never had it seriously smudge, and overall I've just never had any problems with these pens. However, they're pretty expensive on a student budget, until I discovered you can buy refill packs! These are the perfect solution, because I don't need to go around buying 2 packs of pens which then run out all too quickly, and I don't need to buy a new pen when it runs out of ink. I'm sure that this has saved me money, and it also means that I always have a refill on hand when a pen runs out, rather than being stuck with some other pen until I can get out to buy more. I definitely recommend this type of pen, and buying them in this form has proved the easiest for me. The only time I've had any issue with one of these pens is that after changing the ink cartridge about 10 or 15 times, the thread on the top part of the pen wears out and no longer resists the pressure from the spring, causing the bottom half of the pen to fly off without warning, but that is to be expected when a pen has been used that much!These are just the best pens I have ever used, I intend to never use any other type of pen from now on.Buy them.

The ink for these pens is great - very smooth and works perfectly in both my energel-x pens and my energel sterling pen. there is a small cap on each of the refills to prevent them from drying out, and each refill is well constructed - I have had absolutely no issues with any of them so far and have gone through about 20+ of these pens/refills.However, the packaging of these refills is a little wasteful - each individual refill is packaged in what seems to be non-recyclable plastic, and the refills themselves will definitely be difficult to recycle. The box is, however, recyclable.The ink itself does not last the longest time - I find myself running out after about 50-ish a4 pages of writing. It is also not the fastest drying ink when compared to ballpoints, and so left handed people may have problems, but for a gel pen it is very decent.Overall great quality refills, just wish they could last a little longer, and be packaged in paper or something recyclable if they have to be individually packaged at all

I think the problem here is that the booking you can see on Amazon is not for one product but they've tried to put a bunch of products in one place. It's very hard to differentiate between them and keep track of how many individual refills you're getting. In addition when I looked at the number of products it said 1, but what it meant was 1 box. Some colours seem to have only one refill, others more, although the price doesn't always seem to reflect that. All very confusing. In any case. I went for the 12 black refills, and I'm delighted to say that's exactly what I got. These pens are my absolute favourites and I'm so glad I can finally get refills.
