Monteverde Capless Ceramic Gel Purple Refill to Fit Parker Ballpoint Pens, Fine Point, 2/PK (P422PL)

Good quality product as per requirement

Good flow of ink. Very smooth writing.

I was expecting the refill to last longer than expected. And the gel ink smudges to. I prefer the other kind non gel ink refills better

Free flow writing experience with smooth thick black ink.Bit expensive but satisfied with the product.

The ink is extremely light and not suited for everyday usage.

Excellent product, writes very smooth and very well priced.

Writing is thick, can't call it fine

I want this on lime green colour regularly

I have Parker pens for a long timeAs I am teacher want ed to buy a color I use the most, which is green.I was looking for something more special than just the regular green colour.I found this and reading all the reviews I thought I will give a go.I love the colour it is so beautiful on paper. It gives a feeling a super expensive pen has been used.I give 4 star only as many times the ink does not come out when I write curved letters such as a, o etcThe packaging includes 2 of them. Looking forward to see if the second works the same way or it was a faulty one.I will update this soon.

Not quite as good a fit as the genuine Parker, in so far as sometimes it doesn't retract properly, but writes well enough. I've since transferred these into a couple of "Decrescent" touchscreen stylus / ball-point pens that I have where they work fine as there's no facility to retract them (The cap clicks on and houses the rubber stylus point).I've now ordered genuine Parker gel refills for the retractable pens, even though I really wanted a fine point in blue, which Parker seem not to manufacture.One thing to be aware of, and it caught me out too:These refills are sealed from the factory with a tiny, tiny blob of some sort of plastic over the end. Pull off the protective plastic tube and fit to your pen as you would a Parker, and you'll find it writes terribly, with skipping and blobbing all over the place. Hold a piece of tissue in your thumb and forefinger however and pull off the tiny white end, and you'll find a normal looking stainless point. Try writing with it again - Perfect!I honestly think that this oversight may have led to the huge number of unfavourable reviews that this product has unfortunately garnered. Although the casing may be a little sticky in terms of retracting, as far as actual writing goes, it can't be faulted.

Smoother than an ink refill but unfortunately haemorraged in my shirt pocket. Maybe it was body warmth or something but not a good day at the office.Update: full marks for consistency. I gave this a second chance. Green hands green desk. Fortunately kept it out of the shirt pocket this time.This seems to affect the green cartridge as red and black ok so far, but risky. Reduced to one star as i barely got any use out of these

Item arrived quickly but not amused that the packet said purple ink but it's really blue. The is even a purple band around the refill but when you write with it the color is indistinguishable from blue ink, absolutely no difference.If you want to write in purple this refill is not for you.

I did order these refills before as Parker doesn't seem to do purple. Previous time colour was spot on, this time it's blue, not purple. As picture shows this ink comparing to the previous on I had from monteverde. I am very disappointed
