30 PCS Ballpoint Pen Refills Black Ink 1mm | Retractable Pen Refills Black Ballpoint Black Ink Refills Smooth Writing

These refills fit 'Parker type pens' and whole range of other ballpoint pens that use the G2 style of refill. I have many of these type of pens and so these refill will soon be put to use as a put them into my pens that now need a replacement refill. Before putting them into a pen you need to pick off the small waxy ball off the point. I guess this is there to prevent the refills drying out prematurely. I consider the quality to be good based upon they are also value for money. I received 30 refills for under £4. Importantly, they do write incredibly smoothly. The ink flows easily onto the paper. I even think they have improved the neatness of my writing. I seem to be able to form the letters in my cursive style of handwriting with ease and precision. I would say the ink is slightly liquid but not to an extent whereby stuff will easily smudge. It is certainly not the more grease-based style which tends to be a bit more viscous. It is clear why they put the 'sealing ball' on the end and that is because when you first, each time pick up your pen, then the ink does not immediately flow. This is the case with all ballpoint refills. A qucik few strokes or scribbles, and you are ready to let your words 'flow out onto the page'. I find using these to write with to be almost therapeutic. How long each refill will last in a pen i.e. how many pages or words you can write with them, then for me, I cannot say at the moment. In any event, I carry a spare of these refills if I am away from my usual workplace. You get a lot of refills in a pack. As I say, I ordered the 30 pack and received 30. In reality, it does not matter if a refill runs out 'prematurely' because another one can easily be fitted from the 'reserve' supply. The line thickness they produce is maybe a fraction narrower than a typical medium point refill. It is not overly so, and I am a person who likes a medium to broad type line to be laid down on the page. I recommend these refills if you like a fairly fast-flowing - slightly liquid like ink flow. I certainly enjoy writing with them. In fact, I now look forward to picking up my pen and jotting down all the notes that randomly cross my mind. As I say; this is sort of like some sort of therapeutic experience. As they say: "If you're feeling listless - then make a list"

I had a pack of funny pens also from Amazon that I didn't wanna throw away after they run out of ink, so glad I found these refills, they're good value for money, fit perfectly and seem to last for a long time.

The product was mixed not the same 2 pack was so bad quality and i would like to be replaced

Had a bunch of pens which had dried up to ordered these to resurrect them. Seem fine. Like the fact the nibs are sealed so they could be stored for a bit. Can't comment on longevity

Great alternative refills for my favourite pen

I nearly threw away my favourite pen until I spotted these refills. I shared some with a friend at work.

The right refil for some treasured pens. Perfect.

Bought these as refills for a Tombow pen - these are not compatible! The quality is poor - gloopy, blobby ink that leaks and makes a mess. Stick to Bic pens!
