This may sound strange, but this pen refill ranks high to me as it is easy to write with: you don't have to use extra pressure to make the ink apply to the paper as compared to a generic Cross pen refill as well as no smears. That's worth the extra buck to me on buying an OEM refill vs. generic!

Since some reviewers have been critical of A. T. Cross brand-name pen refills, a few words in support may be useful. I purchased a two-pack from amazon, put one into my old but very sturdy Cross pen, and it writes like a dream. I'm a throwback who still uses blue ink and prefers broad points. The Cross blue is beautiful, and the refills, while labeled "medium", are broad enough to suit me. This simple pen is a great writing instrument.

I have bought a few of these and every one of them is next to impossible to write with. I have no idea what the problem might be or why something that appears so simple is almost completely useless. Might as well throw away your pen. Would have bought in a "regular" store if I could have found them and returned, but with the hassle, time, and cost to return it after purchasing online doesn't make sense.
