BALLPOINT PEN- Ballpoint Pens are not capped, but instead retract and store via a rotating mechanism in the barrel.

• Low maintenance and easily refillable,the Ballpoint Pen is the option for the everyday pen user.

GEL INK PEN
• Gel inks are generally aqueous based. This results in a fluid (or wet) lay-down of ink similar to a Fountain Pen.
• Aqueous-based inks tend to dry out quicker, thus care must be taken to always retract the tip after use.

SELECTIP® ROLLERBALL- Most Selectip Pens have a separate cap which prevents the ink from drying during storage.

• The most versatile tip technology isproprietary to Cross, and is known as Selectip Rollerball. A Selectip allows you to “select” the kind of refill you
want to use in this writing instrument from the following options:
• Gel Rollerball (a mix of Ballpoint ease & of Fountain Pen ink-flow)
• Jumbo Ballpoint (Ballpoint technology with a bolder line)
• Porous-Point (most commonly known as a Flair or Marker Point)
