Not a troll. Just ask the employees if it’s on clearance. Paid more for the sharpies lol!

This screen grab is from an email I got from Omoi Stationery today. Can anyone help ID the clear pen on top of the TN passport?

Quite a funny story/butterfly effect here. A few years ago, I was on this subreddit asking about a felt-tip pen, which turned out to be a Flair Papermate.

Fast forward a year or two and I now really like felt-tips and fine-nibbed fountain pens and have a Sharpie pen and a Lamy Safari as my two daily drivers.

Wake up one day and realize, “hey, maybe there exists a refillable felt-tip”…

A lot of learning about Euro standard refills later, I find two things:

One, I can get a fiber-tip refill in the Euro standard 110mm format, which is the kind that I’m looking for. Pilot G2 style ones don’t come with those.

Two, getting my hands on a pen that accommodates that size is… surprisingly hard?

Eventually found and bought this pen, but now I have a new problem…

I LIKE ROLLERBALL PENS AS WELL NOW! I feel like I should either get another Moleskine x Kaweco, or find another pen to hold a rollerball refill because they feel so damn good to write with. Send help/capped pen recommendations that are shaped with flat surfaces and don’t look like cheap plastic and take Euro standard refills. XD.

Hi! I have been loving my new Uniball One P pens; I love how chunky they are and the flow is really great. However, One of my pens just stopped clicking a few days ago such that now the pen is always in the non-retracted writing position, but pushes back in whenever you apply pressure on the tip with a surface. I can't seem to find a spring or anything inside of it, which is baffling to me because I'd never opened it before the problem started.

Well, I was disappointed but figured it was a fluke and proceeded using another one of the Uniball One P pens I bought on the same shopping trip. Just today, I took this *different* pen out of my bag and the SAME issue occurred!! Mind you, I had literally just used it without issue 30 minutes previously. As with the previous pen, I can't seem to find a spring in it either despite never having opened it up before?! This one hurt even more since it was my favorite yellow one...What is happening?! Can anybody help me/has anybody had the same issues? I really love these pens so it's really frustrating and confusing that this keeps happening to me? Is there a ghost stealing the springs from my pens or something...? I also would find it hard to believe that BOTH of these pens' springs fell out right when I opened to troubleshoot them, since I definitely don't recall anything falling out either time...

I replaced the grip of the middle one (my main) with silicone tubing, which feels like it has the right squish and tack to it. I use Zebra Sarasa Clip inktubes because I can control the flow of ink better, and there's no bleed-through.

Found it in my room and it’s seriously one of the best gel pens I’ve ever written with. I cannot find it any where!

I like gel pens, but I can go through most kinds in a month or two, so I was thinking of getting a nice gel pen that I can buy ink refills for. Or would it be better to get a non-gel ballpoint pen? Any suggestions? I also have a Space Pen, but they are a bit expensive to have the chance of losing.

Hey everyone, just wanted to share a quick DIY hack for anyone looking to reuse their "non-refillable" Uni-ball Onyx rollerball pens.

Instead of throwing the pen away when it ran out, I managed to pull the back cap completely off the body. I filled the barrel directly with Noodler's Polar Black fountain pen ink (essentially turning it into an eyedropper pen) and popped the cap back on.

How it writes: It is working great and flows incredibly smoothly!

A couple of quick tips if you try this:

• Lubrication helps: Noodler's Polar Black is a heavily lubricated ink, which seems to keep the rollerball mechanism spinning perfectly without seizing.

• Mind the seal: Make sure your back cap snaps or presses back on tightly so air doesn't leak in and cause the tip to flood. (You can use a tiny bit of silicone grease or plumber's tape if it feels loose).

• Line width: Because Polar Black is an anti-freezing ink, it can spread a bit on cheap paper, making the line slightly wider than the factory ink, but it's completely waterproof and bulletproof now!

Highly recommend trying this before tossing your empty Onyx pens into the trash!

I've had this pen for 10 years and I was looking to repair it (ink wont flow) but can't for the life of me find it online.

I know its from Stabilo, I bought it at an official store for around $40 in South America, and It came with a red metal cylinder container. It doesnt show up in any of Stabilo's websites, and when I try to look up the "Par" or "Opar" label I just get Parker pen images.

I dont even care about making it work now, I just want to find what it is.

My manager inherited this pen stand, but no pen. She’d love a replacement and I want to get her one for a thank you. Any ideas where I can order one to be delivered within a week? Like to avoid amazon!

I've never been able to keep up with pens or pencils. This is the longest I've ever had one (a few weeks). I would really like to keep using it if possible.

Haii!

my boyfriend recently mentioned how he wanted a pen for work. he's not a big writer and mostly works digitally but thought it would be nice to have a nice fancy one for work.

i am an absolute stationary fiend, and i would normally go crazy looking for his perfect pen if one of his wants wasn't, how smooth it writes.

often i try pens that say they write smooth or pens that people recommend me but I'm always disappointing. the smoothest pens I've used are honestly cheap ass pens for promotional events, but they're smooth but not fancy. So i don't really trust that a relatively expensive pen that people claim writes smooth, will be up to my standards.

since i don't have the scratch to buy and test a bunch of fancy pens i come to y'all.

what pen is well built/fancier then plastic pens and writes very smooth. my budget is probably 30-35 but if that's too tight i can try and loosen the grip on my wallet

any Info is appreciated! thank you for your responses!

Found this pen. Seems to be an A.T. Cross Century of some kind based on style, but I can’t find any with this color or wide band. It also just has “CROSS” embossed above the clip.

I don’t know how to reassemble this pen. Help pls 😭

I’ve recently acquired a Rapidiograph style pen and I love the way it feels when drawing and writing. It has a very tactile feedback on paper similar to a pencil OR an EF Sailor fountain pen.

My question is, are there any rollerball, gel, or ballpoints that have that same kind of feel that would be good for drawing?

I like the rapidograph and fountain pens, but sometimes I don’t want to deal with the finicky’ness of them.

Thanks!

Which one to go for in terms of writing thin, drawing and long lasting as i draw a lot and normal pens get finished in just few arts

My googling didn't find it immediately.
