Mb Pix Ballpoint To Rollerball Refill Conversion

[FPNewbie888]

Hello FPN.

 

I've got a couple of Pix Ballpoint Pens (twist type, open end) and was wondering if it's possible to convert the refill to Rollerball or Gel Ink.

 

I've seen Monteverde's No Cap Rollerball refill for MB Pix and was wondering if there are any other alternatives.

 

Thank you for your replies.

Montblanc will not help in your quest. However, they are starting to make ballpoint refills in a wider range of colours.

Thank you for your reply. Will stick with what it was meant to be from now on. He he.

Twist action BP's don't really suit RB refills because the fact that there isn't a 'sealed cap' means that the refills dry out. That's why RB's have caps like FP's; i.e. you remove the cap before you can write.

If someone can figure out how to get a Schmidt "capless rollerball" refill into a twist-action ballpoint, then that should work fine. Many pen makers use Schmidt refills, sometimes "private labelled" with their own brand name. I don't think any of the Schmidt refills will fit easily into a MB ballpoint.

 

 

Retro 51 has been selling their "Tornado" twist-action capless rollerball series that is designed exactly like a twist-action ballpoint pen for more than a decade, based on this refill. I have one of these, use it only every few months or so, and it hasn't dried out yet.
