if you dont mind spending a little more you can never go wrong with a Mont Blanc http://www.montblanc.com/index.php

I have a couple and im really happy with them both, they should last for half a life time.

Regretably I've lots of paperwork to do in my job. For years, at least 15, I've used Parker pens. However, I tried a Cross ballpoint and was surprised just how much more smoothly it wrote - the Parkers for the bin.

Can anyone suggest any other ballpoints I could try

You just answered your own question?

Cross pens rock

Felt-tips? You can use them to write consoling letters and everything.

Hehe

I have a nice Lamy rollerball and a Parker ballpoint.

Go to the bin,
Retrieve the Parker.
Go and buy a new refill.
Don't ever say Cross are better again.

I'm quite happy with my papermates. Although they run out of ink a bit more quickly than I'd like.

Works like magic

Cybermyk · 15 Nov 2009 at 22:32

Does it have to be a ballpoint? I used to find fine felt tips to be easier to write with in finance. Bics are the best for form filling or school work though. The kids were using all sorts until I got a box of 50. We still have some left after 4 years.

Euphoria · 15 Nov 2009 at 22:37

Did you ever find a good ballpoint pen as i have too used a parker pen for over 20 years and after it exploded a few months ago i have been using a crappy bic. I am looking to spend between £50 - £200 on one, i would like one which writes smooth, no smudge, fast drying, light and dynamic.
