Retractable four-colour ballpoint pens with medium 1.0 mm tips. Pack of three with refillable ink cartridges and a classic round barrel with side clip.
Comfort during long writing, with padded extra-comfort grip
Padded rubber grip cushions the fingers along the barrel and improves hold during extended use, reducing pressure points. The shape and padding help maintain control while writing for lengthy sessions.
Reduced hand strain keeps handwriting steadier in meetings and study periods, so longer note-taking feels less tiring.
Quick colour organisation, with four medium 1.0 mm tips
Four retractable ink cartridges are built into a single barrel, each deploying a medium 1.0 mm ballpoint tip for consistent, bold lines. Colour switching happens instantly via the selector mechanism.
Instantly switch colours for annotations, diagrams and bullet journaling without swapping pens, keeping notes clear and organised.
Low maintenance and durable, with refillable ink cartridges that write about 2 km each
Each refillable cartridge writes for an average 2 km, giving roughly 8 km of combined writing across the four colours, and cartridges can be replaced when depleted. The retractable mechanism and round barrel protect tips when not in use.
Fewer replacements and longer-lasting ink make the pens practical for heavy users, reducing waste and keeping a reliable pen ready for daily tasks.
