honestly i do most of my notetaking digitally on my writing tablet. but here's the stationary I rotate through when I need to take quick notes on paper.

i've been using the G2 for a long time now. although the nib fails me 60% of the time because i drop it and the metal wire comes out, I keep on buying refills for sentimental reasons. plus, as time passes the 0.5 nib feels more like a 0.7 one.

is the rotring 600 worth getting?

any recommendations for good reliable pens tho?

I really find that pen very comfortable to hold so was thinking if there are any good compatible refills I can experiment with

Hi all, I find myself needing to write on plastic sheets quite often and am looking for the best pen for doing so that won’t smear. I realize a sharpie would work well for this but the regular marker style is too bold and the fine tip ones smear. So does anyone have a suggestion?

I don't know the model nor where I can buy the cartridges

Thanks in advance!~

I recently purchased this Ridge Pen. It came with Schmidt EasyFlow 9000 ballpoint insert

Does anyone know if there’s a gel ink refill available?

Was browsing the Office Depot website and found these and I swear these look just like the Jetstream RT BLX pens. They even say they're ballpoint with "advanced ink" technology, lol:

Picture of the RTX for comparison:

Am I crazy/seeing too much into the pictures?

Anyone know what type of pen Buca di Beppo uses? They write so smoothly!

TLDR: I like thick inks that need some pressure to write and have good grip on slippery paper and need a refill

Hi,

I've been using my grandfather's old parker pen for a while and it ran out of ink, I really liked the feel and the ink was thick enough to write on the slippery surface of photo paper, which was very helpful when cataloging my photos since it's much thinner than grease pencil. So I got some refills expecting the same viscosity but the new stuff feels a lot thinner and more runny, like I don't have to put any pressure on it to write, it also doesn't grip onto photo paper. So it would be really nice if someone could recommend a 3rd party refill that fits my needs.

Thanks!

Edit: Also the cartridge i'm trying to find an alternative or replacement to says "Parker ball pen refill DIN 16 554/2" on it

This pen writes very well. Does anyone know what it is called? No markings or words on this pen.

The empty cartridge that was in the pen says “Senator M” but I can’t find the exact model anywhere.

Idk what any of them are, so if anyone recognises any of them please tell.

I will go through these and I’ll get back to you.

Hello! I recently lost my Parker Jotter. First decent pen I lost. I’m not going to cry over 10$

I want something cheaper, works like a Jotter. I used a full metal unit

I’ve seen the plastic Jotter, but haven’t used it. How does it stack up to the full metal one?

I also seen a few clones, like from zenith. That I heard good reviews for other pen models

i just came to say that, now im gonna buy 1000 of these now hehe

im serious tho they are really good, especially the black ones, im glad i found it lol

I

Looks like maybe a Parker?

Almost everywhere you look only the normal sized sonnet is available. Does anyone know why this pen was discontinued or if it's going to be coming back?

Cheers

Is there any writing difference between them? I use a 1mm regular PT pen now.

Okay, I currently use the Sharpie S-Gel Ultrafine .38mm pens on a daily basis. I love the way they write, but I would like something a little heavier and sturdier with maybe a little more flashiness.

I'm not in the luxury pen world, but am not afraid to drop up to 100USD on a Pen if it can do everything I want.

Retractable and Ultrafine Tip are really my only two requirements. If anyone has some Recommendations, I would truly appreciate it.

bit of background: i have chronic tendonitis i have tried splints and multi vitamins nothing works so i have to work with it. i also have adhd so my brain is rambling on and on and i need to slow down the pace a bit. currently a masters student and i need to write a lot everyday and the tendonitis doesnt help. most days the base of my thumb is too swollen to even hold a pen

things i like:-thick body like those of marker-zebra blen is the perfect thickness -nice soft grips so its easier to hold and my fingers dont slip. and bonus points if the grip is longer i like to hold the pen a bit closer to the tip

• slightly rougher flow octane gel,muji 0.38 and zebra blen are great examples -a bit on the cheaper side i need to write a lot and it sort of becomes a burden when a new refill is 90rs each -finer tips i prefer a 0.3 or 0.5 of ball point pens

pens i have tried:

• trimax- used it during school and those who know it was the best pen the flow was good and it was fine the only problem was that it didnt have grips and my fingers often slipped
• octane gel- overall good but a lil thinner and the grip isnt very grippy if you get it .
• -pentel energel- 0.7 hated it . no grip hated the whole experiece but the hegagon design was good
• -uni click gel- again 0.7and horrible but great thickness and grip actually used it guring graduation
• -zebra blen 0.5 - amazing overall the grip was good can down near the tip nice thickness and the perfect amount of smoothness but its too costly in india
• -muji 0.38- thickness is good but no grip and the refills run out too quickly for soemthing thats costs 60rs

ps: sorry if its hard to understand i think i had too much coffee and im entering a panic attack

I’ve been trying to find this pen so I can buy it again because I literally stopped using it cause I’m afraid to run out, I think it might be Malaysian but I can’t figure it out, not sure if anyone can help! Highly recommend if you can find it, tyia <3

**it also has an exclamation mark on the grip
