Parker 5th refill 5th Technology Ink Pens, Fine point, Blue ink, 1 unit per pack (S0959010)

I bought this refill for my Parker pen and have zero complaints. It writes very smooth, with no drag. The ink flows well and I have had no gaps in my writing. I will be purchasing more of these. The medium point is nice, not too wide, nor too narrow. I may try the fine next go around, but I like the width of the pen strokes with the medium.

It gets expensive writing, these have the best prices I've found besides bulk on alibaba.

I love the peacock blue color, and the 5th mode ink is as lovely as you can come without crossing over to a fountain pen. The only complaint I have is that the tip broadens more than I like well before the pen is out of ink. So, I wind up changing refills "early", and I don't like the added cost.Also, on one refill, my husband borrowed my pen. I wouldn't have been upset if it changed the tip shape slightly (expected with a fiber tip), but the different wear actually caused it to split! This doesn't affect my rating, but be forewarned--don't share the pen.

Love this pen. No worries about running out of ink. Refill slides right into place!

Olive green ink, not sure why but the first few paragraphs with this cartridge were slightly less smooth as expected. But then it opened up beautifully, and is a great color to add to any Parker 5th. It's not annoyingly green, definitely distinct, and will leave an impression.Shout out to Fountain Pen Hospital for carrying and shipping quick.

When the Parker 5th came out as a fountain-pen-look-alike;I who collect fountain pens, decided to try one. I now own 4. The truth is that if you use a fine tip, it almost doesn't make a difference what color you use if you're writing with Fine, because you can hardly see it. I lean toward fine and extra-fine fountain pen tips, but i heavily suggest medium Parker 5th refills. I hope some day they come out with broad so that I can make one of my 4 a signature pen. One last thing. The engrave chromed, high-shine cap and egg-shell colored barrel looked so good on the computer than I spent the money for it. In person... yuk... it looks like Parker married a $200,00 cap with a 50 cent barrel. It spent one day in my house before heading back to Amazon inventory. If Parker comes out with a pen with a matched barrel, I have a place for it... hint... hint!

This Parker ink cartridge is quite pricey for what is basically a $10 Sharpie.You get one medium point, black, ink cartridge that is made for Parker's 5th Technology ink pens, like their Parker Ingenuity Small Daring Pearl with Pink Gold Trim Pen. The pen writes very nice, the ink dries fast, but it really is like a smooth fine tip Sharpie. As I write more with it I'll update if there is anything to add.You should be using your pen every day to get full use of the ink. I let mine got unused for a few months and the ink dried up. That's really annoying. This is an expensive refill for expensive pens.

What can I say? It's a pen refill. Works like it should. This feedback stuff is getting out of control.
