Ray Cartridge Rollerball Pen M (Medium), Refillable, Onyx Barrel, Royal Blue Erasable Ink Cartridge, Pack of 1 Pen (187807)

I have to admit to being favourably impressed by this cartridge loaded rollerball. I have used fountain pens on numerous occasions and prefer to use pens in spite of the technology available in this day and age. I am now on my next pack of cartridges and fell as a pen connoisseur that this is one of the better pens available today. It is comfortable, well designed and not too thick or thin and the rollerball allows a smooth flow of ink onto the page. While the cartridges bring back feelings of being at school it enables you to use any standard size cartridge although I haven’t tried it yet with an inkwell and adapter cartridge it should work ok.

The pen is simply packaged and is lightweight. It's attractively designed in a functional way. It sits comfortably as I write and flows well. This is my first ink cartridge rollerball pen, having only used fountain pens previously and I am impressed. It is slightly expensive for what it is. My Lamy fountain pens were not as expensive - but if this lasts as long as they do, then it will be worth it.

This pen is marvelous. The ink flows perfectly after some usage, in a steady rate, no leakage. It's a beautiful design, a little more bulky than the pictures suggest. The bulkyness makes a good fit in a large hand like mine.

What you have here is a rollerball pen that doesn't use rollerball refills. Instead it uses ink carytiges, the style for fountain pens. What this means is that the 'mechanism' (the actual rolling ball) is not rwplaced with each refil. So, if this lack of regular replacement of the 'writing tip' significant? I honestly don't know. Presumably the writing tip will wear out some time, but I haven't owned the pen long enough to find any problem YET. So are there any issues? Well - I actually find the pen a bit uncomfortable and 'clunky' to use. I've many another pen more comfortable in the hand, but it's OK. The actual writing action is smooth. So, overall, recommended.

Feels good in hand and smooth writing

Best roller ball I have had.

I don’t know if I just got a bad one, but the ink doesn’t flow properly (sometimes barely at all) - have to shake it, stop and start, etc. It’s very temperamental to the extent that I can’t really use it which is a shame. I will try another brand.

1st pen had faulty roller ball, ink did not flow, utterly useless. My complaint to company was ignored. Ended up writing to a director of the company to secure a replacement. The replacement has failed as well. Dreadful quality. Appalling customer service.

Es un roller muy cómodo, con un buen tamaño para llenar la mano con ligereza. De hecho, compré dos para usarlos con distintas tintas. Muy buen roller recargable con tinta o cartucho de pluma estilográfica. El trazo es medio y por tanto, muy cómodo.

Smooth

I got this for when I needed to use a ballpoint, but wanted to run my fountain pen inks. I really like it. While it's not the same experience writing with a fountain pen, it allows you to use the inks you have on hand. It comes with a cartridge that is wedged in the top of the pen and an empty cartridge you can use to fill the pen up. You can also get the Monteverde mini converter too. I just use a syringe and fill the empty cartridge. But I also tried the mini converter too. Either way is fine. One thing I do like about using the empty cartridge and filling it up, is that you can leave the filled sealed cartridge in the pen and not have to worry about the attached cartridge popping off inside of the barrel causing a giant mess. It fills the empty void behind it. You could also use it as an emergency ink storage too. Really ingenious idea! It writes very well, and I'm happy with it. I'm currently running the Rohrer and Klingner Leipziger-Schwarz and the pen performs excellent. Cannot ask for anything more! I really wish more manufacturers would get on the bandwagon. This is a great idea and very eco-friendly.
