Sharpie refills / Super Sharpie help
Posted: Mar 25th, '14, 21:06
Has anyone noticed that Sharpies now have shorter ink cartridges ? Probably not because most people just throw them away when the ink is used up.
I regularly use a Super Sharpie and have had no problems replacing the ink cartridges before but have now found to my horror that all the new Sharpies I have bought only have internal ink cartridges about 7.7cm long instead of the original 9.2cm. For those familiar with the Super Sharpie this means the cartridge isn't now long enough to ink the gimmick !
I suspect it is a ploy by the Sharpie manufacturers to get people to buy more Sharpies as the ink will run out quicker but I suspect it has gone largely unnoticed.
The Super Sharpie is absolutely vital to my close-up set. Does anyone know where I can get a stock of the longer cartridges from ?
