Cross Selectip Jumbo Ballpoint Refill Ink Colors and Tip SizesIt is not known if Sheaffer was buying them from Cross and rebranding the refills or vice versa. However, Cross now owns Sheaffer, and you can no longer buy Sheaffer C Style refills. A few years ago, members of the Fountain Pen Network suggested that the German Stationery manufacturer Pelikan make the bottled ink for Cross. Cross-bottled fountain pen ink is a watered-based archival ink highly regarded by many fountain pen users.

These are made by the U.S based manufacturer Monteverde and the German specialist refill manufacturing company Schmidt and Fisher Space Pens supply a pressurized Cross refill.

The Cross mini ballpoint pen refill is a standard D1 refill that can be used in any brand of pens that take a D1 refill. Ultimately, it does not matter who makes their ink or nibs as long as it is of the quality that you associate with Cross’s products. 12. Cross Ink Converters

Nearly all Cross manufactured products have codes that start with an 8, and nearly all Sheaffer manufactured products have codes that start with a 9. To fit the Cross push-in style fountain pen converter, unscrew the barrel of the pen and, as the name suggests, push the converter firmly into the front-end section that contains the nib. Monteverde makes a medium and broad alternative refill for Cross ballpoint pens. It is a metal refill with a color-coded screw-threaded plastic adapter that screws into the barrel of the ballpoint in exactly the same way that genuine Cross refills do. Cross ink converters are a bespoke size and cannot be used in any fountain pen manufactured by another brand. If your favourite pen has run out of ink, it's time for a pen refill. With less waste, it's a more eco-friendly and cost-effective solution to replacing your pen completely.Hold the upper part of the barrel in one hand and the lower part with the other, then twist the barrel to unscrew it from the lower front section.
