Parker Ballpoint Pen Refill, Fine, Black

Comments about Parker Ballpoint Pen Refill, Fine, Black:

I've been using Parker Ball Pens since they came out. As long as the refills were made in the USA they wrote smoothly and the ink didn't smudge until they were almost totally depleted of ink. Since then the opposite is true and I keep falling into the trap of buying them because of fond memories of the originals. The Chinese ones were very poor and the British and French are not much better. The one I just bought is French, it leaks, it writes in a scratchy way, and it is quite expensive. Last year I found two old USA refills in my cabinet, both still excellent, and when they emptied I finally bought the French model in the hope of improvement. I think the time has come to find a different manufacturer. (By the way, in frustration I tried the Gel, but they bleed when water hits the paper they had written on).

At the cost of [$] plus tax for one refill--I believe the 'competition' would not have any problem matching (or reducing)the cost of this item.

Finally - a fine point BLACK ink refill that fits my off-brand pen! I cannot read any color other than black & prefer the fine point so I can see details more clearly (I write quite small), and thought I would have to give up my favorite pen until I found these.
