SchneiderGelion+ Gel Ink Cartridges, 0.7 mm, ISO Format G2, Blue Ink, Box of 10 Refills (103903)

Really smooth writing Gel refills. They're the DIN/Parker style with the ratcheting end. I like them better than the popular name brand. Good color, consistent writing, no lines down the middle, reasonable life span.

I ordered the Schneider Gelion+ Gel Ink Cartridges, 0.7 mm, ISO Format G2, Blue Ink for the MCNTEIK executive pen I purchased. I needed a fine point, but I wasn't sure the gel ink would work - but it did! The blue of this gel ink is just like the color of a ball point - bold and clearly blue. There was no skipping or ink globs on the paper. The 0.7mm point doesn't leave ink globs on the paper like some gel pens do. I am very pleased with this purchase.

If you didn’t like the Parker Gel drying up and the sloppy lines from the Itoya Gel, then the Schneider Gelion+ may be the answer.The Gelion+ does not smear, last decently long, the lines are smooth.Schneider label these pens and refills as 0.7mm. 0.7mm is the diameter of the roller ball width or top width, the line width is 0.4mm (per SchneiderPen website).If you use Gelion+ refills in Parker pens, replace the OEM spring with a 4mm OD 0.4mm wire stainless spring with an uncompressed length of 15mm. The Gelion+ refill has a wider tapered “neck” that will bind the stock Parker pen spring.

I bought these and and several other Parker style refills for a variety of pens. These are just so so. They feel scratchy and seem to make a click noise every time I write. They do the job but I feel the actual Parker refills are much better. They do write consistently and last a good while but I won’t be buying these again. Better than some others but not the best.

I have tried several parker size gel refills Schmitt, parker jet stream ect and I like these the best. Also seem to be less expensive.

I don’t write much, and I don’t write fast. But when I do, I like to use a nice pen. Sometimes roller ball. Sometimes gel. These refills just can’t keep up. They’re not dry when I click the pen open. But after about two sentences they run out of ink. Let the pen sit for a minute and they’re fine. Two more sentences and they’re dry. But, hey, they fit the pen, so they got that going for them.

The writing is not smoth and ink breaks frequently.

Unfortunately these refills do not work with Parker pens. But they do fit perfectly with Rotring 600s.
