Rollerball Refill compatible List

[shure]

Hi

 

I am making a list of compatilbe cartridges for ballpoints and rollerball.

 

Montblanc, Pilot, Rotring, Parker, Waterman, etc

 

If somebody have information about sizes and compatibility, it will be very usefully

 

Thanks so much

Montblanc uses proprietary refills, but some manufacturers like Yafa make refills especially for MB. I'm not to sure about the other companies.

Not true.

Can use a G2 refil for Montblanc as well.

Even though there is a screw on mechanism for original Montblanc refil, it does not affect the performance even if a refil is not screw on as long as it fits.

G2 refil can fit Dupont rollerball too.

Somebody know the size of standar cartridges ?

 

I don't find anything !!

I know a lot of places say Pelikan and Schmidt are interchangeable, but in reality they're not. A number of "universal" roller cartridges I've bought did not fit a pen they were supposed to work with.

 

Nowadays, I just stick with manufacturer refills. They're somewhat more expensive when compared to generic, but at least I know the ink in them is good, and they'll fit.

Monteverde and Aurora Ballpont pens accept Parker ballpoint and gel refills.

 

Waterman Rollerball pens accept Pilot G2 style gel refills

Visconti ballpoints accept all parker refills and Schmidt superbowl capless rollerball refills. Also, the Levenger capless rollerball refill appears to be identical to the Schmidt Superbowl.

I use G2s in my Waterman and Rotring rollerballs.

Schmidt ceramic refills fit the Waterman Exception and all of my Bexley rollerballs.

 

Parker rollerball refills only fit my Parker pens.

 

I haven't tried the Schmidt in a Pelikan. I only have one and have always used Pelikan refills in it.

I believe Retro 51 uses a Schmidt capless

HI

THIS MORNING I WAS FIDDLING AROUND WITH AN OLDISH "HAOLILAI" ROLLERBALL I'D BOUGHT, HERE IN SHANGHAI, A FEW YEARS AGO. LO AND BEHOLD; IT HAS A THREADED REFILL TUBE. IS IT A GOOD FIT FOR A MB?.... CAN'T SAY, I DON'T HAVE ANY MBS. (SEND ME ONE AND I'LL TRY IT OUT...?)

GOOD LUCK

I'm still looking for a good refill for Lamy.

 

That said, the Lamy rollerballs do seem to be of high quality; quite smooth.

This is an older topic, but still very relevant. Hopefully, more people will post….

 

I have a Mont Blanc rollerball, and I’m looking for a blue cartridge where the blue has less green than the standard blue MB cartridge. Any suggestions?

If you search FPN, there was a reference to using a Pilot G-2 refill in a Mont Blanc. The G-2 refill is very similar to international refills which would then give you options. If not mistaken, the G-2 refill has to in some way be lengthend to work with the MB.

The clear fluid rollerball refill for some Lamy pens (m62?) was made by Schmidt, with a custom chunk of plastic on the back end which was shaped funny and longer than normal.

 

Hardly anyone sells the standard Schmidt-branded version of that, but Caran D'Ache sells it under their own name. All you need is either the right size wad of paper to fill the extra space in the pen, or just pull that chunk of plastic off of an old Lamy refill and replace the black ring on the Caran D'Ache.

 

The Caran D'Ache isn't easy to find either, but it's still out there.

AG Spalding makes very nice-looking wood body rollerball pen. Comes in different color, my favorite is orange. Original look, great tight clip... and even better if you fit a Montblanc rollerball refill, which is easily done by slightly enlarging the tip opening with a precision screwdriver for example. You then have a world-class pen for about $30.

Don't like G2s?

Uniball 207s are identical except for the top, which is open instead.
