Troubleshooting
Pen is not writing despite a new refill

Ink skipping during writing

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, unscrew the barrel of your Cross ballpoint pen, remove the spent refill, and firmly slide the new 8101-2 refill into the mechanism until it clicks or seats securely. This refill is specifically compatible with the following Cross collections: Classic Century, Century II, Townsend, ATX, Peerless 125, Botanica, Bailey, Calais, Beverly, and Tech2, as well as the Sheaffer Prelude collection. To maintain performance, always retract the pen point when not in use to prevent the ink from drying out at the tip. Store refills in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the chemical integrity of the ink.
