Schmidt 9000 Easy Flow Hybrid Ballpoint Refill Medium, Black, 2 Pack Blister (SC58143)

It's a great refill no doubt. I am dailying it and as writing it's good smooth. Too smooth sometimes, but I like it. Something I notices I have written hundreds of pages with it hard to put a count but as it is about to get empty it starts to skip. Little shake and works good but still I noticed it something I think just be put out there. I would buy it again. I think its going to be my daily for a long time

The title essentially says it all in that:i) The package had water damage on it when it was received. I contacted the seller and never heard back.ii) The refills write smoothly but leak. I had pen botches and smudges on my desk, on my hands and on the paper. This was the case with the original refill that came with my pen as well as the two that were part of this purchase (i.e., I thought that perhaps teh original refill was damaged -- it was not, they just leak).To solve the problem I went with another refill that has been bullet proof.I hope this helps others.

Fits my pen great

Blister pack or no blister pack the Schmidt easyflow 9000m exhibits skipping after a page of writing and doesn’t stop after that. Is it smooth? Yes but not as smooth as the much lauded Japanese uniball jet stream or signo pens. I don’t think any other manufacturer in the world will ever be able to challenge the superiority of ink manufacturing that japenese pen manufacturers command. Schmidt as a German OEM supplies a lot of refills for other iconic brands in the market, a lot of their rollerballs are ok or aren’t highly regarded. The Japanese manufacturers however like pentel, pilot or uniball just deliver products that are better consistently. I hope Schmidt listens and improves their products or brands sign up with Japanese manufacturers to supply their refills instead. The Made one Germany brand name is well regarded but unfortunately doesn’t apply to Schmidt.

While using this, there is a consistent problem with ink delivery. This leaves me constantly re-writing. not ideal.

Ink for the most part flows out onto the paper well. When writing you do get some feedback (similar feedback as writing with a pencil). Provides bold black lines most of the time, in other cases the ink won’t be as bold and forces an individual to go back over the lines to make them bold. All in all a very nice ink refill choice.
