Hello!

 

I am looking into buying one of the Cross ATX pens in the rose gold and was looking for newer reviews. It seems like people stopped reviewing the pen a while ago and was wondering if anyone has used one of the newer models with the black PVD section. A lot of the older reviews complain about the slippery chrome section, but no one seems to have tried out this newer model. If anyone out there has- Id really appreciate your opinion on it. Is it comfy to write with? Or does it keep slipping? Also is PVD a type of plastic?

 

Thanks!

Like you I have found a dearth of information on this. I have had the ballpoint and rollerball for years. I agree, the chrome section on the rollerball is a slippery beast.

 

I hope someone knows something.

I have had a Cross ATX for many years and it is one of my favorite pens - even if the chrome section can be slippery, and the tapered design lends it to rolling off tables. Mine has a big, juicy M nib that writes well, a screw-in converter and the feed can handle ANY ink I throw at it.

 

I am interested in reading your review of the updated ATX!

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
