MonteverdeMedium Ballpoint Soft Roll Refill for Parker Pens - Green (Pack of 2)

Not a first-time purchase as black and blue ones for Parker and a couple of other brands were previously purchased for the relevant pens. While considerably less expensive than the respective original products, colour and performance are comparable and functionality of their respective mechanisms for extension and retraction continued to function to the original level. Monteverde is a respected European/US brand whose writing implements are especially well-regarded. As, in this instance, a single Parker refill will cost more than two from Monteverde it may be a no-brainer for those who don't wish to use the branded originals.There is a small blob of wax or plastic over the ball-tip which is easily removed and essential before first use.Monteverde also produce excellent fountain pens, a couple of different models being owned and used, as are some of their fountain pen inks. As with this refill pack, they produce similar ones for rollerballs and other writing systems. Pricing is always reasonable.

Medium fine. Smooth for writing with no breaks in ink flow. Good durability and longevity. Really nice shade of purple too (many either too bombastic or too close to blue). Very happy and fits great in my parker.

I was looking for a green refill for quite some time and as Parker no longer make these, this seemed like the best alternative. So far so good, seems to last a long time as I've been using this daily for weeks now. Writes smoothly no ink blobs. However, I would have preferred for the colour to have been a bit darker as I sometimes have to press harder to ensure good contrast.Another issue I found was that although works fine with my jotter pens, it is not a perfect fit like the originals. Even when retracted, it is not completely inside the pen.Overall, a great purchase and if the fitting was fine I would have given it 5*.

I have finally found a Parker pen refill that is actually a true purple.I have tried others but they have all been blue not purple, this is a true purple. The medium nib gives a good ink flow, and it isn't scratchy. I am so happy.I wish the price was a little more budget friendly but as long as it lasts as long as other refills I can justify it.Thank you Monteverde for making this lady's heart happy.

Ist one out the pack of green was dry apon opening the mate to it is so light that I have to write some of my worst twice by writing over it to read them sergest U cheque the quality and dry up date of Ur stock not happy

I wasnt sure what this refill would be like as I've tries other generic ones that havent been nice to write with. I neednt have worries as this is smooth and looks even on the paper. It is a nice colour although a lighter purple than the branded refill I was replacing. I think I prefer it though and would definitely biy again. Next time I need a refill I will check this brand out again.

Both refills each stopped working before even a page of A5 was written. Utterly useless and very disappointing. Don’t bother!

I use these in my Diplomat pen and they perform very well
