Bit niche this but... I'm looking for rollerball refills for a Cross pen (the 8523 Selectip rollerball in black) and nowhere has any in stock. And the generic replacements Amazon suggests instead have some fairly stinking reviews.
Has anyone else run into this problem? Any suggestions on where to get genuine replacements, or decent unbranded ones to try?
Cheers
Believe there are supply chain issues all over the place at the moment. Might need to take a temporary downgrade to a Bic for a while
I've had problems with getting Cross ink cartridges over the last 6 months or so, again probably a supply chain issue. Resolved through bottled ink, but not sure what to suggest as an alternative for a rollerball.
Cult Pens is a good online shop for this kind of thing.
use a different colour ink?
Thanks all; even cult pens is coming up empty (as is Cross's own website) so they must have completely scuppered the supply. Back to crayons in client meetings for me!
Wife had the same problem and found some on Cartridge People, but might be a different Cross refill?
Only a Cross.
cough, cough as he twiddles the Mont Blanc.

Other makes of pen are available. Might I suggest a Lamy, cartridges are readily available in WHSmith. I bought a transparent one on a whim, and it’s a really lovely pen to write with.
