I have used the Cross black gel refills for awhile and have been very happy with them. I usually prefer blue ink, so I decided to give the blue gel a try. Well, needless to say, I have been VERY disappointed! I've tried two different refills from two different stores, and both have skipped badly and/or stopped writing completely after only a few days. You can read other reviews for this refill online and see that everyone else is having the same issues. I expect better from Cross and can't believe that they have so many problems with the blue gel refills. The company definitely needs to fix the quality issues they are having with the blue gel and bring it to the point where it's on par with the black gel refill (which, again, is one of the best I have ever written with).

I have used the Cross Rollerball for years and these refills work fine. They write very clean and smooth. If you use a regular pen, move up to these and you'll be glad you did. The blue ink stands out & let's me know I have the original document/notes/signature when reviewing.

This review is purely to comment on the NON-UNIFORMITY of refills.

Fortunately, I did my research before purchasing a refill, but it took FOREVER to find the right information. In fact, I had to eventually call Cross Customer Service to find out wether all Cross ReFills were interchangeable and would fit all Cross pens - THEY DO NOT! If your Cross pen is a ballpoint it will always be a ballpoint and visca versa.

Maybe that is just common sense and I am the stupid one here, but hopefully somebody will benefit from this review.
