OK, but not stellar
Nice all around, but generally the medium writes too wide a line and the fine is so thin it writes scratchy. I wish there was a "medium-fine" version; something in between. I use these in a $400 Parker Duofold; it's ironic that a pen can cost so much yet be centered around the performance of a $5 ink cartridge. These refills often skip on startup after 1 or 2 days of non-use. As I'm sure you are aware, they are also huge. In fact, if you've ever used the popular Cross Classic ballpoint pen, these cartridges are almost as thick as that whole pen - you might as well leave your pen behind and just carry the cartridge. LOL! The cartridges themselves are OK, but if I knew better I would have reconsidered buying an expensive pen that relied on a $5 ink cartridge. I don't see these available under any other brand name, so if they ever stop making them my expensive pen will become worthless. Lastly, there's no way to know when the ink is running out; when it's done, it's done. Make sure a spare is always within reach.

Not legal in the US for Sale
I ordered these replacement refills for my Parker Rollerball and when they arrived, the pen refill says "for sale in india only" The spot where it says that on the pakaging is blacked out with a magic marker and the bottom of the packaging is cut off to remove other references as to who they were made for and the expiration date.Also, it says it is a medium on the refill but these are fine tip. I have had this pen for over 15 years and I know the difference

JUNK!! These are knock-offs and do not fit or write well.
The refill, although packaged as if Parker refills, definitely are not. They are just a little too long overall and the distance from the point to the first bevel is slightly too long. The refill writes scratchy and sometimes too thing, sometimes too wet. They were shipped to me from India.

Something wrong with the batch?
Here's the thing. I have used Parker RollerBall refills for decades. I normally buy my refills at Staples. This time I ordered these here on Amazon. Well, I put one refill in my pen and after writing with it for a short while, the ink wouldn't come out. The pen started just scratching the paper. I thought that perhaps that refill was a dud; and I put another one in my pen. Same thing happened. A few days later, I was passing by Staples and bought yet another refill. It is writing just fine. So I don't know what's going with these particular refills, but I would recommend NOT buying them from this company. Find an alternative.

Searched for another vendor with a lower incidence of 1 star ratings - good luck! Stay away
Have tried all six refills - complete junk. One leaked all over and filled the pen with ink. The other five lasted no more than a couple days each before they were scratching rather than rolling. Don't know if these are authentic Parker refills but they certainly appear to be. Searched for another vendor with a lower incidence of 1 star ratings - good luck!Stay away.

Don’t buy!
Awful quality of ink, after few times writing they are already fading. Plus they are only sold in India? Then why are these being sold in USA!

Not the best quality.
American Parker Rollerball ink flows better than these. Ink does not flow well, and the rollerball tip has a scratchy feel to it. These ink cartridges are made in India as stated. There might be some fitting issues with american Parker rollerball pens. The solution, tapper the end of the ink cartridge with a blade or a butane lighter (goes to show poor quality control) It works, but not as good as the american version, I will not be purchasing Parker refills from India again.
