Title: Review of refill selection, not the pen itself
Product review: The pen itself is actually a very nice writing instrument and I have no complaints whatsoever in that regard. By beef is with the fact Cross offers a very limited selection of refill opportunities. If your writing style favors a thick line from your pen, the stock .7 mm black cartridge is perfect for you. If on the other hand, your style favors a neat, precise line for example, recording information in laboratory notebooks, you're out of luck. I purchased this pen because I like its style and wanted something more than the cheapo stick pens the office typically provides. I bought it with full knowledge that it contained the thicker cartridge, but thought it would be an easy matter to find finer lined refills....WRONG. When I started looking for refills, I could not find a single .5 mm rollerball gel ink cartridge. Not one! Even Cross doesn't market such things. What's wrong with this picture?If you need to write fine details, look elsewhere.
