Baronfig Squire Click Refill Guide: Ink, Care, and Replacement

Quick answer

To refill a Baronfig Squire Click, unscrew the pen body, remove the old ink cartridge, and insert a compatible standard D1 refill. Press the click mechanism to test the fit, then reassemble. Always match the refill type to avoid jams and keep a spare on hand.

What You Need Before You Start

Gather your Squire Click pen, a replacement D1 refill (sometimes called a mini refill), and a clean cloth or paper towel. Work over a desk or tray so small parts don't roll away. If you're unsure which refill you have, check the packaging or the refill itself for a size marking—most D1 refills are clearly labeled.

Step-by-Step Refill Process

Follow these steps in order to avoid damaging the click mechanism or getting ink on your hands.

• Unscrew the pen body: Hold the grip section and twist the upper barrel counterclockwise. Set the barrel aside.
• Remove the old refill: Tip the pen forward and let the refill slide out, or gently pull it free. Avoid touching the ink tip.
• Insert the new refill: Slide the D1 refill tip-first into the barrel. It should seat without force.
• Reassemble and test: Screw the barrel back on and click the mechanism a few times. The tip should extend and retract smoothly.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Forcing a refill that doesn't fit can crack the barrel or bend the click spring. If the refill feels tight, stop and double-check the size. Also, don't overtighten the barrel—snug is enough. And never pull the click mechanism apart; it's not designed to be disassembled.

Keeping Your Squire Click Writing Smoothly

Store your pen tip-up when not in use to prevent ink from pooling. If the ink flow slows, try writing on a scrap of paper to prime the refill. For long storage, remove the refill to avoid leaks. A quick wipe of the tip with a dry cloth keeps things clean.
