PARKER QUINK Ballpoint Pen Gel Ink Refills, Medium Tip, Blue, 2 Count

Great refill, writes nicely.

This is a full on Gel refill for a conventional ball point pen body.Gel, while possibly not as universal as a ballpoint (oil ink) pen, does write with less pressure and if you're writing notes, less hand fatigue. The gel writes with little pressure and works great on common paper. This is however water based and if the writing surface comes in contact with water (writing in the rain), the ink will bleed.This specific model is a fine point which probably works as well as something like a Uniball. Replacing a refill like this is probably more environmentally correct than replacing a whole pen, while just refilling the ink in a fountain pen may be the ultimate.If you're really a pen nerd, you may choose to keep a ballpoint refill around for occasions that require that and use the Gel otherwise. Pencils, on the other hand, are a whole different topic.

I was so happy that I could still find this refill for some very old Parker pens that belonged to my dad. They fit the pens perfectly and they write very smoothly. Love the blue ink color!

I've seen a lot of bad reviews about these refills, so I figured I would chime in. Yes, they are not like the original ballpoint pens. However, I switched to these because they work significantly better on lower quality paper (my hand would tire very easily with regular ball points). It takes a different lighter stroke and angle to write with these, but I don't think it is too difficult to adjust. I've had several packs of these now and have experiences no issues like I've seen in a lot of these inflammatory comments.The only thing negative I can say about these is that they run out pretty fast (about a month or two with constant use). This is of course due to the thick gel ink tip (a little to thick for my taste, but they are very smooth to write with).

The Parker Quink Gel refill is the first I found that fits like a charm. I love my Cross Clic pens and had struggled to find good quality refills until now. Thanks to the internet person who shared their success with this exact solution :) Problem Solved

Poor. Barely writes an inch before the ink stops. This is the second consecutive pack I've bought with the same problem. Tried googling solutions but nothing works, just a crap product.

Replaced the original pen which never really worked very well. Love the way this glides along and delivers the perfect amount of ink.

Fresh ink. Fast shipping
