Ballpoint pen BIC Cristal Black — refillable? 1 pc, medium 1.0 mm ball

BIC Cristal Black ballpoint pen, single piece, delivers consistent black ink with a medium 1.0 mm ball for smooth everyday writing. The pen features a transparent hexagonal barrel that shows the remaining ink level, a ventilated cap to reduce drying risk, and a practical clip for secure attachment. The design is lightweight and familiar, intended for reliable daily use at office, school and home.

Advantages

The Cristal design provides visible ink level monitoring and an ergonomic hexagonal barrel that helps maintain a stable grip during extended writing sessions. A 1.0 mm ball produces a medium line suited for general-purpose notes, forms and signatures while the black ink offers clear contrast on standard paper. The ventilated cap and clip improve portability and storage safety.

How to use

Remove the ventilated cap and write with the pen on regular paper using light to moderate pressure; the medium 1.0 mm ball lays down consistent ink suitable for routine writing tasks. Replace the cap after use to minimise ink drying and store the pen horizontally or with the tip up if not used for extended periods. If the ink flow becomes uneven, recapping and briefly scribbling on scrap paper typically restores consistent flow.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use on standard office or school paper and keep the cap closed when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat or direct sunlight to preserve ink quality. Store in a cool, dry place and consider keeping a spare pen available for uninterrupted writing needs.
