I tend to use fountain pens for work - don't know why but I do - and colour wise blue or black ink tends to be the norm although one pen is filled with turquoise quink - the price £2.39 for the bottle which shows how old it is - but struggled to find a new bottle - Now I find not only can you turquoise you can get green, red, pink & purple to boot - need to find if it is in bottles or cartridges or even if you can get it ........I bet it ain't £2.39 a bottle now

Has anyone here EVER used a Space Pen to the very last bit of ink (resin?) left in its refill? I've been through 3 or 4 of these and the story is always the same. They start off wonderfully - black, bold - almost "wet" looking in quality, smooth and creamy to use. About two to four months into it (I don't use it daily but keep it in my pocket for when I need a pen handy like at church or for signing my name) and it starts acting like it's out of ink. I finally have to draw circles on a page to get it going again - and again, and again and finally, I give up and replace the refill. Each time I do, I break the previous one in half (expecting to see it's empty) only to find the pressurized vessel has another inch of ink left in reserve!
