1. Cross Ballpoint Pen Refills

Cross makes three different types of refills for their ballpoint pens. These are their standard ballpoint refill which fits most of their ball pens and is sometimes referred to as the Cross Classic ballpoint pen refill.

Then there is the Cross Mini ballpoint pen refill, a standard D1 refill used in their multipens.

And last but not least, the Cross Slim ballpoint pen refill will only fit Cross Click & Spire ballpoint pens.

Check out our Complete Guide to Cross Ballpoint Pens for more info on the different pens.

Cross Classic Ballpoint Pen Refills

Cross Classic Ballpoint Pen Refills are their standard refill that fits most of their ballpoint pens.

Cross ballpoint pen refills are a bespoke size designed explicitly for their ballpoint pens and therefore do not fit any other brand of pen.

At the end of the refill is a color-coded plastic adapter with a screw thread to secure the refill in place. The advantage of this refill mechanism is that you are not dealing with any springs that could fall out.

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.

Monteverde Alternative Cross Classic Ballpoint Pen Refills

Monteverde Cross Ballpoint Pen Refill

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.

Monteverde refills use “Soft Roll Ink Technology,” a very low viscosity ink sometimes known as hybrid ink. This type of ink is very smooth flowing and glides more easily across the paper than traditional ballpoint pen inks.

Check out our guide, Ballpoint Rollerball or Gel Pen, for more information on the different types of pens and inks.

  • Medium C13 Refill – black, blue, blue-black, brown, green, orange, pink, purple, red.

Schmidt C600 Cross Ballpoint Pen Refills

The German-made Schmidt C600 ballpoint pen refill is the other alternative that will fit Cross ballpoint pens. It has a medium tip and is available in either black or blue ink.

Schmidt white labels their refills, meaning they will sell them branded with another manufacturer’s name and supply refills to many big pen manufacturers.

Check out our Ultimate Guide to Schmidt Pen Refills for more information.

It is unlikely that you will find anyone selling a Cross alternative refill with Branded with Schmidt C600, but if you look on Amazon, you will find companies such as Europens and Jaymo selling Cross-compatible ballpoint pen refills.

These are, without a doubt, manufactured by Schmidt, and sometimes they hint at the refill’s origins in their descriptions by referring to high-quality German ink.

  • Black
  • Blue-Black
  • Green
  • Red
  • Violet

Cross-fountain pen ink is not harmful to pens and can be used in any fountain pen with an ink convertor fitted that enables bottled ink.

A few years ago, members of the Fountain Pen Network suggested that the German Stationery manufacturer Pelikan make the bottled ink for Cross.

It is possible that this may be true as some companies specialize in making a product and then rebrand them for sale by other companies.

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

16. Cross & Sheaffer Refill Compatibility

AT Cross bought Sheaffer in August 2014 for a cheeky little 15 million US Dollars, so it is natural that over the years, there has been some crossover in making and using refills.

It appears that some Cross refills are rebranded as Sheaffer and not the other way round; as in the Sheaffer catalogs, the product codes start with an 8 and are appended SH.

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.

The refills are as follows:

  • Cross Selectip Jumbo ballpoint pen refill
  • Cross Classic ballpoint pen refill
  • Cross Mini Ballpoint Pen Refill
  • Cross Selectip Gel Refill

17. Where Can I Buy Cheap Cross Refills

You can buy Cross refills directly from the Cross website, but obviously, you will be paying the full retail price. If you want to save money and buy cheap Cross refills, then Amazon is probably as good as anywhere. Many other online stores will sell them, but they struggle to compete with Amazon on prices and postal costs.
