Which Pen Company Makes The Best Rollerball Refills?

[dgcom]

Try Zebra Sarasa, they are available (at least to my knowledge) in 3 forms - D1 refill, Zebra's own refill as well as standard roller ball/gel.

From my tests, they are waterproof like Signo, but blue-black color is more blue.

Thank you for your suggestion dgcom, I have only seen the Zebra JF Gel rollerball in blue or black, I will look for it!!!

Yes, Zebra JF refill is actually Sarasa in their proprietary size which they use for muti-color pens.

Hi All

 

I recently purchased a Parker Urban Premium rollerball pen. I find that the genuine cartridge that came with the pen works like a dream. Very smooth with no skips, blotches or other issues at all so far.

 

I did however purchase some of the Luxor manufactured parker rollerball refills and found that they do not fit the pens properly. The black feed section at the front of the refill is approx 1.5mm shorter on the Luxor refill compared with the UK made parker refill. this means the tip appears recessed within the pen and leads to a completely different (and quite unpleasant) geometry whilst writing. I contacted Luxor directly to explain the issue and they replied that the difference in length is a defect which they will rectify and send me replacement refills. They havent arrived yet but I'll post an update if and when they get to me. Writing performance with the Luxor refills was quite satisfactory with regards to smoothness and lack of skips etc.

I've had the exact issue!!! Absolutely frustrating please share with me who you corresponded with I also need to take it up. I purchased an IM roller and frontier but these luxor refills don't fit I was quite disappointed

At the moment I'm thoroughly enjoying the Noodler's konrad rollerball pen. I mix and match my inks according to my preference as they are refillable and reusable pens.

 

In terms of refills I quite prefer the parker rollerball refill made in France /UK.

 

On the disposable side of things nothing packs a punch like the Uni vision elite and the Pentel Energel "liquid gel ink"

 

Hope this finds you well
