ParkerRefill for Parker Retractable Gel Ink Roller Ball Pens, Medium Conical Tip, Blue Ink, 2/Pack

These refills are the full metal barrel and come with a better quality rubbery tip to extend the shelf life of the refill. The rainbow colored package cheaper refills are made in China vs France.

Very good and smud to wright

fits perfectly in my pen and writes well. ink gets spotty sometimes.

These gel inserts are the perfect compliment to your elegantly crafted Parker retractable ball point pen. You will want to throw out your mass produced plastic gel pens after experiencing the true joy of writing with gel Quink in a masterfully machined writing instrument.

The refills pictured are the ones made in France that last quite a long time which is why I buy them. The ones I received are the ones from China that only last about a half a page or so. I have no issue that they are made in China, just an issue that the product not only on this order, but others too, is inferior to the original, yet comes at the same price as the original from France. The French made refills are housed in a metal refill, while the Chinese ones appear to be metal, but are plastic. It is not uncommon to have either end of the plastic refills come off. Almost ready to go to Pilot G2 as at least they are consistent

work very well; both as an instrument of writing, and a trip down memory lane

This Parker refill was used for my gel Sensa pen. Great ink. Last. No issues at all. The blue is a solid blue.

I was reluctant to order these because of the negative reviews about some of them being made in Nepal/India, but I thought I'd take a chance since they are supposedly shipped from the "Parker Store" on Amazon. As soon as they arrived (02 Nov 2023) I quickly checked the package (of 2 gel refills) and they were indeed marked "Made in France." Now I just have to use them for a few months to see how they perform. They do work in my Made in France Parker Jotter. No manufacturing date on the package.
