Pilot MR1 Metropolitan Collection Rollerball Pen, 0.5 mm, Smooth Ink Flow, Consistent Writing, Ideal for School & Office Use, Gold Zigzag Barrel - Blue Ink

It uses a 0.5 mm fine tip with blue ink for clear, legible writing.

The MR1’s ink reservoir and feed system are engineered for even ink delivery, helping maintain consistent, skipping-free lines even when taking quick notes.

The quick-dry ink helps minimize smudging on standard paper, making it well-suited for notebooks, journals, and everyday documents.

The pen uses a premium brass/metal barrel for balanced weight and a secure grip, giving a premium, comfortable feel during extended writing sessions.

To refill, remove the cap, pull out the old rollerball refill, and insert a new 0.5 mm blue rollerball refill designed for the MR1/Metropolitan series. Replace the cap and test on paper to confirm smooth flow.

Compatible 0.5 mm blue rollerball refills from Pilot are suitable for the MR1/Metropolitan series. For availability on Fepy, search for 'Pilot 0.5mm rollerball refill' or visit the MR1/Metropolitan refill section on Fepy.
