Schmidt Easy Flow 9000 - 6 Pack - Black

Excellent quality refills

Have been using Schmidt EasyFlow refills in conjunction with the same Parker pen for around ~6 years now. By far the best refill in terms of price and quality, all writing is bold and perfectly legible so highly recommend. Although, the ink does smudge easily if you manage to swipe it with your hand in the few moments before it dries.

I bought this product to replace the Quinkflow cartridges I had for my Parker Jotter, which were appallingly bad quality as they kept becoming scratchy and faded.I've been using my first cartridge of Schmidt Easy Flow 9000 for a couple of months at the office and to write in my journal (Swallow your pride - Diary), and it's a large improvement on the Quinkflow cartridges. There is little to no resistance on the nib, and it is exceptionally smooth and pleasant to write with. The ink is a very deep black and comes through as quite a thick line, so if your writing is excessively small, this may not be the cartridge for you. Even after not writing for a couple of days, the flow from the cartridge was strong and immediate, living up to the description admirably. I have encountered absolutely no reliability issues so far.If I had only one criticism to make, and the reason I have not rated 5 stars, is that because of the very free flow of ink, it is somewhat susceptible to blotches. Also, if you're someone who's knuckle contacts the paper on the line above, you may find that the ink will smudge slightly if you're not careful, because of the thick application.Other than these minor downsides, it's a reliable and exceptionally smooth cartridge, and I fully recommend it.

Initially I felt a little let down by these. I inserted them into my Parker and (after reading dozens of reviews) I expected some sort of godly writing experience.What I got though, after a week or so of use, is a thoroughly good, easy-to-write with cartridge that works perfectly with my Parker and is a joy to write with.Give them a go and use them for a week. Also, give them a good back and forth on some scrap paper when they arrive to get them going.Honestly, they are very good. I've attached a photo but the writing quality looks far better on better paper than I'm using.I'd also recommend resealing the bag they come in, in order to preserve the other refills.

I had watched a lot of YouTube videos on this cartridge and how good it was, and had great expectations for how they would perform, when the package with six cartridges finally arrived I was very excited. When I tried each cartridge they would only work for a short time and then either skip a lot or not work at all and after trying various things to get the cartridges to work properly I gave up, I was thoroughly disappointed and would not recommend these cartridges to anyone because they don’t work they have a huge reputation maybe they were made better previously and have gone down in quality but I was very disappointed

One of the best refill cartridges I’ve ever used! Very smooth action when writing requiring little pressure. If you’re used to fountain pens, you’ll like these! Very dense black ink and no visible smudging at the edges. I would recommend this to anyone who does a lot of writing/drawing. I use them in my Rotring 600 pen.

Excellent value refills for my Rotring Rapid Pro pen.They fit perfectly, they don't leak and the ink is smooth with a good deep black colour and they last a good, long time.I had been searching for a suitable refill for quite some time and am very pleased to have found these.

While the ink is incredible, and gives you a "fountain pen feel" with the ease of use of a ballpoint, too many of the cartridges arrive dried and unusable. I have bought this twice, and have now had a total of 4 that are completely unusable, with at least two where I had to use spit + a lighter to start the ink running.Other than this, the ink itself is great.
