Schmidt EasyFlow 9000 Refills

[RGVPens]

Who's got the best price on Schmidt EasyFlow 9000 Refills? 10-30 count order.
I got a few a while back and put them in a couple pens...really like the effortless way they write. Is there something that good for Cross refills?
Question for those of you that sell most of your pens. Do you put a Schmidt 9000 in all of your pens? Just your higher priced ones? Just sell them separate, price each?

I get all my EasyFlow refills from ExoticBlanks

I wish there was something for the Cross style that wrote that smoothly! If it's out there, I've yet to find it. Ed from Exotic Blanks mentions somewhere why they don't manufacture gel type refills for them. It had something to do with the shape/size of the cartridge. Bottom line: nope.

Selling point: Great for lefties because the ballpoint ink dries faster.

That's where I got them before. Just ordered some more. A guy at the dealership where we're buying a car wants a nice pen...with blue ink.

Exotics or Amazon from Lanier Pens (about 1.80 each)

I sell them at Bullseye Turning Supply as well as the best cross refill I've found and Schmidt 5888 rollerball refills

And to answer the last part of your question, I put the easyflow 9000 in all of my Parker style pens

Amazon from Lanier Pens

Ha, I was just ordering from them, Tony. Again. Probably while you were posting this. I can second this recommendation.

I would like to see Amazon/Lanier offer them without the label.

I would like to see Amazon/Lanier offer them without the label.

I am curious to know why.

I have an easyFlow 9000 in a Duraclick EDC pen, bought over Amazon from Lanier Pens. It writes well and works well with the pen mechanism. There is a well-applied, smooth vinyl label wrapped around the refill shaft. The label peels off easily with a fingernail, but leaves a residue. I bet the residue comes off easily with a solvent, but have not tested it.

Frankly, I would leave the label on the refill. It is a quality refill. Both "Schmidt" and "Made in Germany" have their own cachet.

I think Tony was referring to a refill like the Schmidt 9000 that Exotic Blanks sells that has the "label" printed directly onto the pen barrel. You still have all the "cachet", without the potential for the label catching inside the pen...

Schmidt EasyFlow 9000 Refills - Smooth Label (Choose Color)

How your hand-crafted pen writes will often make or break the sale. These are exceptionally smooth-writing ballpoint refills the are very close to a rollerball experience. The difference is simply amazing! For Parker style pens (Cigar, Sierra etc)This is the new Smooth Label Version. No more...

Schmidt makes the 9000 for ExoticBlanks, with the label printed directly on the tube, because we requested it.
We asked for it because of feedback on IAP. Now, apparently, some of you see no advantage to it.
Baffling!!

What DISadvantage do you perceive??

 

[qquake]

I've only had a couple pens where the label was an issue, but can't remember which ones they were. The label caused the refill to jam, and not extend and retract properly. Most of the pens I make, a label on the refill doesn't matter.

I definitely see the value of not have the label..less jamming, especially with some of the clicks.

I definitely like the "label" printed on the barrel not stuck on! I guess I'm so new that I didn't realize they had stuck-on labels...LOL.
I put in an order today for more black refills and a few in blue, a customer request, also a couple of kits.

 

[David350]

Oops, just to clarify I meant "pen refill barrel", where I typed "pen barrel", but I think most understood what I was fumbling to convey...

None, other than a slight difference in cost when purchased in small quantities.

Have you tried a Fisher refill (you know, the space pen people)? They make a Cross style that is pressurized with nitrogen so it writes on anything, and can write under water and upside down.

Fisher Space Pen Co.

The Fisher Space Pen is able to write in zero gravity and works upside down, under water, over grease and in extreme temperatures. Order your custom astronaut pen at SpacePen.com.

I have a regular Fisher Space Pen, and it writes beautifully and reliably.

I was not even aware that they made a cross refill. It seems there isn't near as much in in those as the refills for their regular space pen, but it's nice to know that's an option.

Exotic Blanks also!
