The key word here is style. Generic vs brand name.
Maybe I'm new at this but has anyone here found a detectable difference while writing with the 'Cross style' refills that come with your kits as opposed to a 'Cross refill' you would buy online from the Cross site? I dont care for the skinny fine points in the slimline, trimline, and others that are supplied. I use Cross medium and broad, black or blue ink.
What is the point of going thru all the time and effort crafting a pen if it doesn't write nicely because of inferior ink. Thats the whole point......
It's like a beautiful car with a bad ride.
Of late I discard the kit ink into the trash in favor of an authentic Cross refill (authentic being debatable). Costs a few bucks to do this however I do find a detectable difference in flow. THAT brings me to another question. Are the Cross factory refills the same as the kit refills only difference being the name Cross stamped on the barrell?
Same question for the 'Parker style' vs Parker refills.
Thank you for sharing any experience you may have.
