Review: Great refill - writes smoothly! - 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.
Review: Perfect refill - Love this brand! Excellent ink quality.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What’s the different between the jumbo refill?**
A: This is a gel refill. The jumbo refill refers to the Classic RB refill

**Q: How yo buy refills gel 8523**
A: Cross Selectip Gel Rollingball Pen Refill, Black, 1 per Card (8523)
order from amazon or go to office max.

**Q: I’m seeing several recent negative reviews about ink quality. The older reviews are great. Are these the same refills as the older reviews?**
A: Mine is awesome. No problems for the last month

**Q: Does anyone know how I can convert a cross ballpoint (tech2) to a gel?**
A: No, but you may want to think about that very carefully.  Many gel pens and even a few roller ball pens leak if you subject them to reduced air pressure for a couple of hours, such as you experience on any airplane that is not a 787, which has a much higher level of pressurization.  I've cleaned ink out of more than a few cases and thrown away several slacks and shirts due to that error on my part.  And those were with top of the Parker gel pens.  I went back to the ball pens because of it.  My Cross has never leaked on me, figuratively or literally.
