6 Pack - Blue Fine Tip Schmidt 888 Rollerball Refill

Pen refil

Nice and fine too.

I bought these hoping that they would solve a problem for me. I have 5 beautiful Chinese rollerball pens - all different manufacturers - but the ink flow is inconsistent and skipping is a problem. The Schmidt writes beautifully and was almost the solution for me. Unfortunately, they only fit one of the five pens. The "problem" with the Chinese pens is that the diameter of the nib is smaller than on these Schmidt refills so the corresponding bore at the tip of the pens is also smaller and the tip of the Schmidt refills won't fit through. The same is true of the Cross refills. Even though everything else was standard size I couldn't get the tip of the refills through the opening at the tip of the pen. They solved the problem for one pen. The search goes on for a solution for the others. These are a good refills for the right pens.

Its fits perfectly

A nice deep blue. The ink runs freely but is on the verge of being too liquid. That said, unless you're using a cheap absorbent paper, this ink flows beautifully and will need a few moments to dry. I prefere it over my Parker pen but that's dependant on the paper I'm using. Certainly worth giving it a go.

A long discarded favourite quality pen brought back to life.

Swift service and look fine - but will not fit Cross pens.
