When I was in high school I had an art class where we were required to buy and use an India ink, Tombow roller ball pen for our pen and ink assignment. I liked those pens so much that I started using them for every class even though they cost like $1.85 each and only lasted a couple months. By the time I got married, I could only find one place that still carried them. It was way out of the way so when I would go get some, I would clean them out. One day, they went out of production and I was crushed, so crushed that I emailed the company to whine. They rounded up whatever they had left (like 6 pens of all colors) and sent them to me for free. That was like 3 years ago. I finally found a new pen that I like. It has a nice metal case and takes roller ball refills. I traded a video card for it. Well, I ran out of ink and couldn’t find any reference to what to refill it with. So I went to Office Max and busted open a package to try it out because there is no other way to see if it will work. Found it on the first try. It’s a Cross Gel Rolling Ball Refill Item 8523. Peace at last. I just hope they don’t discontinue these now.
