Alternative Rollerball Refills

[DECO665]

I own a Mont Blanc Classique rollerball in burgundy. A truly great pen that I use on a daily basis.

 

Since purchasing I have been using fineliner refills, which are great but run out way too quickly and produce a dry line as they begin to run out.

 

Recently, in order to remedy the fineliner issue, I have switched to medium rollerball refills. Also good but I find the medium too thin of a line and too scratchy.

 

Do any other brands make rollerball refills that will fit / work with Mont Blanc? I am really looking for a broad (1mm) rollerball and/or gel refill.

 

Why doesn't Mont Blanc make broad rollerball refills?

What color rollerball refill have you tried? Black refills are scratchy and a bit dry however the blue refills are much smoother and a bit wetter. I am not the only person who has noticed this. I read it on this site so I tried blue and it's true.

The refills I have tried thus far are in fact, black.

 

Maybe I should give the blue refills a whirl.

 

Thanks!

Hello:

Monteverde has compatible refills for Montblanc rollerballs. And you can choose gel rollerball refill or regular rollerball refill, and they has the gel ballpoint refill indeed. And I do not remember if Monteverde has the broad refill or not, but you can search in the Monteverde official web page.

I hope you can find what you are looking for.

Regards.

I have used the Monteverde refills and the rollerball ones that i have tried are very scratchy, however the gel ball pen ones are amazing!!!!!!
