Changing Ink on Jr. Gentlemen’s Rollerball Pens

Step 1

Remove the cap from the pen to expose the nib. Unscrew the nib by holding onto the body of the pen and twisting the nib counterclockwise.

Step 2

Remove the ink cartridge from the pen.

Step 3

Slide the new Schmidt 888 rollerball ink refill into the pen. Make sure the ink refill is seated properly inside the pen. There is a spring in the post of the pen, so the ink should slide up against the spring at the other end of the pen. You won’t be able to see the spring, but it is there.

Step 4

Replace the nib by screwing it back onto the pen in a clockwise fashion.
