Sailor 0500 Ballpoint Pen Refill (Blue - 0.7 MM) 18-0500-240
The Sailor 0500 series (also referenced as the “Refill 0500 / Standard Ballpoint 18?0500”) is Sailor’s proprietary ballpoint refill line, intended for use in many of Sailor’s ballpoint or twist ballpoint pens (such as their 1911, Pro Gear, Reglus, Barcarolle, or Procolor lines).
The specific 18?0500?240 variant is the blue?ink, 0.7 mm ballpoint version, which offers a fine?to?medium line suitable for everyday writing with color.
This refill is an updated version (compared to older Sailor refills like 18?0300), and boasts improved barrel capacity and ink volume relative to earlier models.

Performance, Use & Notes
-
Smoothness & Reliability
The 0500 series ballpoint refills are designed to offer reliable, consistent ink flow. The “improved version” nature implies that this model has better ink capacity or barrel design than earlier 0300 series refills. -
Ink Behaviour
As an oil?based blue ink, it should resist smudging more than water?based inks, and maintain clarity and stability over normal writing conditions. -
Fit & Seating
Always ensure the refill is properly seated in the pen’s barrel. Loose seating may lead to inconsistent contact, skipping, or unreliable flow. -
Paper Compatibility
For best results, use with standard to good quality writing paper. Very absorbent or coarse papers may degrade the line sharpness. -
Alternate Pen Compatibility
Though it is proprietary to Sailor ballpoint pens, some pens accepting “Sheaffer K / standard ballpoint” refills may be compatible with slight modifications. (The Refill Guide notes the 18?0500 works similarly to “standard ballpoint metal body refill” for some non?Sailor pens.) -
Replacement & Cross?use
If your pen supports it, Goldspot lists 18?0500?240 as the blue 0.7 mm fine point refill for select Sailor ballpoint pens.
When choosing a replacement, match both the format (0500) and the tip size / color to maintain proper fit and performance.

Description & Features
-
The 18?0500?240 is described on Sailor’s official site under “Refill 0500” alongside its variant siblings.
-
As per retailer descriptions (e.g. Goldspot), this refill is an “improved version” over the older 18?0300 model, offering a higher ink capacity via an all-metal barrel, thereby allowing more writing between replacements.The refill is promoted for Sailor’s own ballpoint pen models—1911, Reglus, Procolor etc.
-
It delivers blue color output with a 0.7?mm ballpoint, giving a balance between fine precision and visibility.
Usage & Practical Notes
-
Compatibility: Ensure the pen you use it with accepts 18?0500 refills. Some non?Sailor pens may or may not accommodate it depending on internal dimensions.
-
Fit / Seating: The refill must be seated properly to engage the tip and internal feed; any misalignment may cause skipping or inconsistent flow.
-
Expected Output: With oil-based ink and the “improved” barrel design, the refill is built to sustain smoother writing with less frequent refills compared to older models.
-
Replacement Advice: When installing a new one, you may “prime” the tip by writing a few light strokes to start the ink flow.
