Pen Refill Information - Where to get ink refills for your pen:
Cross Refills:
Most ballpoint wood pens use this refill. The slim twist, European twist, Greek style, and desk
pens. Note remove the plastic cap from the refill to use it in a desk pen. Cross type refills are easy
to find at most business stores i.e.:
Grand and Toy: Genuine Cross refills- Blue med.: item# 8511-2 List Price: C$6.75 for 2. See
www.grandandtoy.com/
Staples: Cross Refills, Ballpoint, Fine, Blue, 2-Pack; Item Number 42082; C$6.75 for two; See:
www.staples.ca/
Harding Pens; compatible refill, supplied from Daycom, Germany. Price $1.50 ea., or $5 for 5, plus
shipping. These are medium tips and available in blue or black ink. I can also supply genuine Cross
refills, contact-me for pricing.
Fountain Pens:
These use a disposable international refill cartridge. Sometimes these will be classed as a
Waterman compatible cartridge.
Fountain pens can also use refillable cartridges and bottled ink. The refillable cartridges are called
an ink converter pump. Bottled ink gives the user access to more colour options. Be sure to clean
the pen before switching between ink suppliers or colours. Different inks don’t always mix well.
Cleaning instructions can be found on the care of a pen page.

Rollerball Pens: these cartridges are a little harder to locate. I have been told that some gel
cartridges will fit, but I have not confirmed that yet. William Wood-Write sells rollerball cartridges that
are from the same manufacturers as the cartridges that came with your pen. William Wood-Write
ships into Canada and the US. The Schmidt cartridges are considered a little better that the Hauser
cartridges. $7.95 for 5 cartridges - as of June 2011. There are premium cartridges available here too.
Note: these catalogue items are examples and prices are from January 2007. More colours and tip
types are available from these sources. This information is intended to help people locate some
typical local sources for ink refills; for more information see:

Please note: I provide ink cartridges as a service to my customers, but you should be able to get
better pricing from a good local business supply store. My business is making custom pens and I
do not have the volume to allow me to get price breaks on refills.
