Pen Refill Types

Pen refills should be readily available at most office supply and general merchandise retail stores.  Below are the types that you will find in my quality hand-crafted pens.

**********

Parker® style refill. These refills are available in many brand names in standard ball type and gel filled (lower image, gel refill).  Also available in a PDA stylus to convert any standard Parker® style pen for PDA use.  I will use a high quality German made Hauser® version of the Parker® style refill in some of my pens.
**********

Cross® style refill.  Available in many different brand names and also in a PDA stylus.
**********

Rollerball refill.  Above is a genuine German made Hauser® rollerball refill.  The image below is a high-quality German made Schmidt® ceramic tip rollerball refill.  The Schmidt® is one of the highest quality refills available with an ink that will not dry up quickly if the cap is left off.  However, the ink will dry quickly on paper.
**********

A standard mini refill.  This refill will be 2 5/8 inches in length.  It is the refill used in my 2-way tech pens.
**********

A standard fountain pen ink refill cartridge.  Also available are ink converter pumps that allow refilling the fountain pen from a ink bottle (use only an ink made especially for fountain pens).  Pumps are available in either a standard grade or the more expensive premium German made Schmidt® brand.
