Schmidt 6 Pack - Blue 888 Medium Rollerball Refill

This is the best ink ever - love it so much, purchase pens around the cartridge! It writes smooth and lays down ink evenly and nicely, will a beautiful spread as the ink soaks into the paper. Huge fan, stock up!

This style of refill does not last super long, none of them do. But they are reasonably cheap and while they have ink, only a fountain pen is more pleasant! I'm buying 12 more for my pens.Pros:-Absolutely beautiful blue color-Smooth as silk while ink in cartridge-Somehow improves my handwriting compared to a ballpoint pen (?)-Fairly cheap in large bulk-If one of these leaks, your clothes will easily wash off!Cons:-Run out pretty fast with regular use-Bleeds through cheap paper a bit

Great

All plastic. My guess is that for strength they carried the sleeve towards the tip about 5-7mm more than the Pemmeed or Cross or any other for that matter. The plastic makes the tip too wide to fit in the pen hole. If you attempt to carefully downsize the plastic you find the tip is actually a separate piece just inserted in the plastic sleeve. downsize it and it falls out leaving solvent soluble ink all over the place. The Pen tip of mine is chrome plated so I am not going to drill it out. This design writes ok and none of my 6 leaked in the package which is where they will stay until I get a cheaper pen I can modify.

These replaced empty ink cartridge for a pen that is a little difficult to get refills. This multi-pack matched perfectly. The refills installs easily. Blue is preferred ink color. This ink is heavy and very definitive blue. They write extremely smooth and should be long lasting.

Best

I’m trying to contact the seller…the ink starts skipping within a couple of days and I’m not writing a book, I’m signing papers and writing short paragraphs. I feel the batch of cartridges may be defective. I’m about 19 days past the return window. Ughhhh.

I had a number of nice roller ball pens sitting in my desk. This looked like the right shape and fits my old Waterman roller ball and some other nice pens I had picked up over the years. I've used three of the refills so far and they have all worked flawlessly.
