Pen Ink Refills
Many customers are concerned about getting ink refills. All pens come with an ink cartridge
when new. All my pens use standard ink refills and here is some information to help you
when your ink runs dry.

Pen Refill Information:

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.

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.
Most fountain pens can also use refillable cartridges and bottled ink. 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.

able to get better pricing from a good 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.
