CrossSelectip Gel Rollingball Pen Refill, Black, 1 per Card (8523)

Exactly what I needed to refill my $100 Cross pen. This is a great value and is very affordable. A nice quality pen should not be disposable and these refill cartridges ensure I can continue to enjoy my Cross pen for many more years! This is an exact replacement and takes seconds (and no tools) to install.

This is the proper refill for my wonderful heavy Cross pen that Cross no longer produces (which is awful because it is heavy and is the only pen, I can use to write so anyone can read because I have essential tremor), but back to the refill. The ink flows freely with no blots, the ink flows at a consistent rate from the minute the point touches the paper, it dries quickly. The only time it starts to skip is right when it runs out and I have always thought that was a big help and great way to let you know time for a new refill. One word of caution. It will not write on photographs that are glossy or glossy paper. The slick paper (like wax paper) does not allow for the ball to gain traction.

I always thought of Cross as a top of the line, high quality, dependable pen/refill cartridge. I am very disappointed with this refill - it only lasted days before the cartridge failed, ink was streaked and the ball didn't roll well. I was attempting to write on a high quality journal and didn't expect this poor performance.

Works great, good price, quick delivery

Arrived quickly and in perfect condition. Don't skimp or be lazyand get a generic refills. Buy the originals and enjoy the sensory experience of writing when you choose it over typing/speaking.

I have been a Cross customer for decades; never disappointed.
