One of the kits I have been on about for a while now, needing a slim pen for the ladies using a better quality refill.

Look forward to the C & C :thumbs:

Eamonn I like the pen love my Slimline biros the thin line is perfect for me at least twenty years ago I bought one or two hundred extra biro refills still using them this was before they put a blob of something over the tip. My daily users get a workout seldom need refilling.

I agree it was about time to have the choice I find some of the thicker points almost run and smudge. What price are these pen kits by the time they end up in your workshop mate. Are there other clips and alternate centre bands these two show separation, neat and different. What colour background did you use I have been going spare with some of my pics this colour and my white balancing is to blame. As a computer mug I do not know how to artificially correct colour casts.

Thanks Peter. Simplicity Ballpoint Pen Kit check the Web site out for spec of pen.

I left the polarising filter on Peter, it's given them a little green hue to the background. It's happened before. Nice accident really as it's not too bad of colour.


What's the import duty and charges like? It puts me off buying from the States

It's the same as any import from the states Ray, never let it put you off buying from there.

If you take it as $ price is the £ sterling you pay landed then you will be on the right side. If it works out cheaper then you are in pocket (which thsee did :wink:). .:love_it:

Importing is not a difficult thing but worries some people to death so won't do it, if you need to know anything then pm me to see if I can put your mind at rest or help in any way.:thumbs:

Thanks for all the comments guys..:thumbs:

Most helpful today the comparison pic as well thanks Eamonn.

Peter.

That's why I thought I would put one of the "well known" kits at the side of it Peter. At least its something to compare too.

especially being the cross type and the Parker type side by side..
