Parker QUINKflow Ballpoint Pen Ink Refills, Fine Tip, Blue, 6 Count Value Pack (2025157)

I do not generally write reviews. I got this Parker Quinkflow to replace my dead non Quinkflow cartridge. Man what a world of difference even between Parker cartridges. Writing is smooth and consistent start to finish. I personally use a .5 ballpoint tip as I write small. The Quinkflow writes perfectly under these tiny conditions. When needed, as say I’ll leave my pen on my desk and be in a conference meeting in another room, I’ll go out of my way to go get my pen and not use another. Yes, to me, the writing is that much different between this cartridge and those surrounding me. Great quality and even better overall at the price point. You won’t be disappointed.

These genuine OEM Parker refills (which are hard to find in the first place) fit the pen perfectly, they write well, and the price is a bargain. It's 100% of what you want from them.

I'm an old ballpoint pen guy, and Parker has always satisfied, pen to ink. The refills arrived quickly, were well packaged and priced just fine.

Really smooth, typical Parker refills. They write like no other! Thanks!! No skipping or glops just super smooth writing! ❤️

Edited 3/30/19: After searching in vain for lower-priced alternatives, I ordered another 6-pack of Parker QuinkFlow Fine-point refills; I paid around $10 with tax. Although the lines produced by these made-in-France refills are not quite as smooth or dark as lines from a hybrid ink refill such as a Pilot Acroball or Uni-Ball Jetstream (see my slightly-edited original review below), the QuinkFlows are consistently reliable performers for people like me who really need Fine point refills for my growing collection of Parker (and compatible) ballpoints. I am adding a 4th star to my review.Original review: These made-in-France Parker QuinkFlow Fine point refills are OK, but nothing special. As far as I can tell, these 0.8 mm point Parker refills with "QuinkFlow" ink perform virtually the same as a Schmidt P900 Fine 0.8 mm refill with "ordinary" ballpoint ink. The Parker refills are definitely not as smooth and don't produce as dark or consistent of a line as a Pilot Acroball 0.7 mm hybrid-ink refill. Unless Pilot starts producing a Parker G2-size refill with hybrid Acroball ink, I may have to keep "hacking" Acroball refills into my Parker pens, because these QuinkFlow refills just don't perform as well.

They took a little long to reach me but I am pleased with them

After research, I have learned there seem to be two different "Parker" refill manufacturers. These refills are made in India/Nepal by Luxor and from what I can tell, they are licensed to make and market them for sale in India only. Where they are guilty here of misleading the customer is the photo shows packaging indicating the refills are manufactured by the real Parker refill manufacture. That package shows an emblem with "appointed to or for the Queen..." The package they send doesn't have that emblem!! Just know that these refills do NOT write with the same smooth, flawless feel you are seeking with the "Quink flow" brand. I won't be buying this junk again!

These refills fit my Parker pen perfectly. They write smoothly and nice dark ink. Just don't expect Amazon to deliver in two days or two weeks for that matter. Over three weeks delivery.
