Ballpoint Pens FAQ
Which ballpoint pens are refillable?
You might be surprised how many are - it’s just that it’s often difficult to get hold of refills. Well, it would be if we weren’t here! If refills are available, we’ll pretty much always stock them, and they should be linked from the pen.
What standard refill types are there?
Quite a few! We're big fans of pens that use standard refills, where there are lots of options to refill them. That way, if you don’t get on with one refill, you can try others, and find one that suits you. For compact pens, D1 'multipen' refills are a good choice, with lots of different refills available. For full-sized pens, the most common type is the 'Parker-style' G2 refill - you probably know the one, with it’s strange-shaped plastic end, and narrow section at the tip. Not to be confused with the Pilot G2 gel pens, which use very different refills, the names are just a coincidence.
Is ballpoint ink permanent?
Usually it's fairly permanent, at least on paper. Refills that meet a certain standard for permanence are usually labeled 'document'. We love Uni-ball's 'super ink' pens, with very permanent ink.
Is ballpoint ink toxic?
No, it's usually pretty safe - there’s no reason it needs to be made with anything dangerous, so any remotely reputable manufacturer would keep things safe. It doesn't make for a good eating or drinking experience, though, so we wouldn't recommend eating it. But if you happen to get a bit in your mouth, you'll probably survive!
Is ballpoint ink safe on skin?
Again, we wouldn’t necessarily recommend it on skin, but it shouldn't do any harm. Plenty of people have hastily written phone numbers on their hands with no adverse effects!
