How Long should Ink Last?

[firedkm]

I have done several pens from PSI. Some Slims, Gatsbys and Vertex. The ink seems to last about a week if that long. Is this normal????

Rollerball ink flows faster then the 'regular' sticks.

Are the ink refills in those plastic type sticks? Are they full-ish?

The slims have a metal cross stick, the Gastby and Vertex Click have a metal Parker stick.

Hi Dale...

I use to buy some of PSI kits (titanium gold slims and euros) that use the "cross" type refills and they definitely lasted longer than a week. Maybe you got some old stock that were duds. I believe, as with the printer cartridges that you get with a new printer, the amount of ink in the refill with the kits is less than with a replacement refill. You may want to consider upgrading your refills to the Private Reserve brand for cross and parker style refills. IAP members have them for sale here at Exotics http://www.exoticblanks.com/index.p...rt&page=shop.browse&category_id=129&Itemid=60 and here at Indy-Pen-Dance http://www.indy-pen-dance.com/Pen-Refills/. Both Ed and Mike provide some good products and service.
