Refillable rollerball ??

[Macaronytony]

Has anybody come across a kit that uses refillable rollerball?

Came across this pen J. HERBIN REFILLABLE ROLLERBALL PEN

Want to get into kitless pens but think this would be more saleable than a fountain pen.

I have seen them....not tried them yet....i think they were a cross between a rollerball nib and a fountain pen

I will look at getting some in, to save them having to undergo a round the world trip with associated shipping and customs charges. Watch this space.

Adding to your expanding stock list there Phil...i might have to try a couple....how soon??

 

[Macaronytony]

Will Be watching Phil any idea when you will get them, was just going to order 10 from the states.
Well spotted Mark just what I was looking for.

 

[Phil Dart]

I'll speak them on Monday and get the low down. I'll come back to you as soon as I know prices and time scales. Is that OK?

 

[flexi]

I will have 10 when you get them...idealy i would like before Christmas....

 

[Macaronytony]

Cheers Phil Monday fine with me, just playing around with some ideas.

I used to do them quite them a few years ago for a customer.

Can't remember where I got the nibs from now, think it may have been IPD or smittys.

I think I still have a couple of nibs if you need any for a play..

 

[Grump]

I had some of the early ones, bloody things leaked everywhere, Like Eamonn I think still have what is left of them somewhere.
I hope they have improved over the years somewhat, I would be interested in how you get on with them and maybe try again.
Rollerball seems to be the preference among the people who take my goods.

Your link doesn't work for me, try this one.

Thanks for the offer Eamonn but I will wait for the ones off Phil before playing about with this idea.
Looking at them it seems like a replacement for the nib end on a fountain pen, so can go kitless or kit.
I'm hoping they have improved to Brian but nothing ventured init?
