I have the pens, and concur with EdinNJ's observation, and I'm sorry that KiltmanFL was disappointed with his purchase. Yes, if you use the included J. Herbin inks, you may experience some disappointment, since these inks do not have the lubricity of some other inks, such as Aurora or Graf von Faber-Castell. J. Herbin inks are truly great inks, but they are not particularly well-lubricated IMHO for this pen, and if you're not careful how you write, it may feel scratchy. Go with a very light touch, or switch to another ink. The ability to use a converter (or a syringe to fill your cartridges,) make this an excellent roller ball with nearly infinite choices as to color.

ravkesefMy Lamy Safari rollerball and my Kaweco Ice Sport rollerball have served in my EDC bag for over a year without fail. To my dismay, only a few of my rollerball bodies accept refilling with a syringe without leaking even with a light application of silicone grease. If you have a large collection of fountain pens, I have found that a Schmidt PRS rollerball converter tip fits a variety of pen bodies. If you don't mind a little mess, pen experimentation is fun.
