Ink refills

[Big]

I apologize for being such a ding bat and having to ask the stupid questions but I have either forgotten or misplaced information. I can't remember the distributor that had the best selection of ink supplies. Rollerball refills, twist pen refills, etc. Can someone please point me in the right direction for a good supplier?

For ballpoints, the Easy Flow 9000 at Exoticblanks is always a huge hit with my pen recipients.

Frankly I get mine from Amazon.

I've had great luck with the Unibene Cross-style refills. They are inexpensive and seem to be a significant step up in writing experience from the refills included with, e.g., slimline kits.

The gel Parker-style refills from the same Unibene brand are meh. I won't buy them again. I'll just spend a bit more on Monteverde ones.

I just discovered the Easy Flow 9000 from Schmidt, which I've ordered from Lanier Pens (also via Amazon). They are hands-down the best ballpoint refill I've ever tried. They're Parker-style and blow every other ballpoint out of the water. I think I might even like them more than gel.

For rollerballs, the 888s that usually come with pen kits are good. I prefer the metal 5888s with a medium tip though. Once again, Lanier Pens via Amazon.

If Schmidt made an Easy Flow 9000 type refill in the Cross-style format, I'd buy 100 of them immediately.
