Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The CROSS Century II Ballpoint Pen is ready to use out of the box. To begin writing, simply uncap the pen. If it's a new pen, you may need to write a few lines to get the ink flowing smoothly.
Compatibility:
- Refills: This pen uses standard CROSS ballpoint pen refills. When the ink runs low, ensure you purchase official CROSS refills or compatible third-party refills specifically designed for CROSS ballpoint pens. Common refill types include the CROSS 8513 or similar sizes.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the pen with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the lacquer finish or metal plating.
- Storage: Store the pen in a pen case or away from sharp objects to prevent scratches on the translucent blue lacquer. Keep it capped when not in use to protect the tip and prevent ink drying.
- Handling: While durable, avoid dropping the pen or exposing it to extreme temperatures.
