Rollerball with purple ink

**Big Shed** · 15th February 2014, 01:34 PM

I have been asked to make a Jr Gent rollerball with purple ink.

Looked around for rollerball refills with purple ink, but could only find black, blue and red.

I remembered I bought some rollerball sections that take a fountain pen cartridge, can't remember from where.The thread on the end of the section sort of fits the Jr Gent 2, not the Jr Gent 1. I can live with that but the nib end on these sections appears to be stainless, I was hoping to make a gold one.

So my questions:

Are there rollerball refills (Schmidt or otherwise) with purple ink.

Who sells the rollerball sections that take a fountain pen cartridge and are they available with a gold nib?

Who can supply fp cartridges with purple ink?

PS Come to think of it, the rb sections may have come from IndyPenDance, but I believe they no longer sell pen bits and pieces, only pens?

They are listed on Amazon.

Somewhere I have bookmarks for oz based sellers that offer a range of ink types and colours to suit the refills we use. Will look in a few hours.

Thanks dabbler

Did a search through my records and the rb sections came from Exotic Blanks

Golden Nib sells conversion kits.

Can't find my bookmarks but here are some sites I re-found. They seem to have a good range of colours too.
I need to make the refill-seller list again as I tell customers they can buy RB refills and FP cartridges from me or I can send them a list of specialty on-line sellers.

Does violet count as purple ?

Thanks dabbler. I actually have the tap for the Schmidt rollerball converter to make it work with the Jr Gent 2, so that may be one avenue.

I also asked this question on IAP and there they came back with more US sellers of purple rollerball refills, in addition to your Amazon link.

So it appears that the customer will have a choice

I really appreciate the work you have put in to this and hopefully it will be useful to others as well as myself (and my customer).

Not too much work really and I must confess I have done this research once before. It's just a shame I know-not-where it's filed !!
A customer asked for a yellow rollerball. She baulked when it wan't going to cost UNDER $10. I think it was for an 8yr old from memory.
