<h2 class="bvseo-question">
Is the ink Water or oil based in the Write Bros pens?

<div class="bvseo-author">Asked by: Shell</div>
<div class="bvseo-answer" data-answerid="8003249">
Hi Shell, Thanks for your question. The ink used in the Write Bros. Bold Point (1.2 mm) and other variants is oil-based ballpoint ink, not gel or water-based. Paper Mate refers to it as &quot;ultra‑low viscosity ink&quot; optimized for smooth, bold writing. That means the ink flows easily but remains quick-drying and resistant to smudging&mdash;ideal for bold, vivid lines without the feel of wet, gel-like pens. So, if you&rsquo;re looking for a drier, less smudgy writing experience with thick lines, the Write Bros. is exactly that. If you prefer something glossier or smoother, you might enjoy a gel-based alternative like InkJoy or Profile gel pens&mdash;but for traditional ballpoint performance, the Write Bros ink is classic oil-based formulation. For a more detailed conversation, please reach out to us at 1-800-346-3278. Our support team is available from Monday to Friday, 9 am to 5 pm Eastern Time. You can also contact us through our form: https://www.papermate.com/support/contact-us Have a splendid day! Regards, &mdash;Paper Mate Consumer Care

I have an older version of the Profile - it is a refillable, bold point with Comfort Grip. I've been searching with no luck. I'm looking for both black and blue. If they are no longer available, do you have a compatible refill? If so, please provide.
