Parker Quink Refill Ink for Ballpoint Ball Pens, Medium Point, Blue Ink, 4-Total refills ( 30526PP-2PK)

These refills have real ink

Things to know! There are two kinds of refills that both say Parker Quink Gel. See pictures.The gray package contains 5 star gel ink refills. They are smooth, consistent, and dry quickly. They are metal and sturdy.The white package contains 1 star gel ink refills. They are scratchy, inconsistent, and a pain to write with. They are flimsy plastic.The issue - sometimes I get one package and sometimes I get the other! It’s a gamble. Even if the listing shows pictures of the gray (good) refills, I sometimes get the white (bad) refills. If I get the white package I just return them and try a different seller. Even if it’s prime, check who it’s actually being sold by so you can try someone else if you get the cheap version. The good ones are worth it to me to play this game.I don’t know why there are two of the *same* kind. Maybe I’m missing something.

All that i would expect from Parker.

Been using these for years, the gel refills don't have the lifespan of ballpoint ink cartridges, but write so much better.---Update 5/19 - Still like these refills and use them every day in home and office pens. They do skip on cheap &/or recycled paper, or things with dirt / fingerprints, like used envelopes or file folders. Some of these reviews strike me as a bit overwrought though. For everyday note-taking they are fine.

as always,. works great, smooth and bold color.

Easy to order - and good quality - Am always looking for best pricing as quality from Parker is always good.Id buy again...thanks

Item shown is the metal tipped cartridge. However, the product sent is an inferior plastic tip cartridge. These are not of the quality as the one shown in the picture.

High-quality products that I ordered for my writer friend.
