I received my cross pen as a gift and it is beautiful, it uses a .7mm gel ink and I prefer the finer .5mm gel ink, is there a suitable replacement?

I dont think they make the 0.5mm in gel with Cross, I checked ATCross.com The Selectip and Slim (like the Click") sizes are available in a .07mm Ballpoint, which feels like a fine hybrid, makes a Fine line. The Porous Fine point is cool, seems indestructible, and it was just over $2 at Office Depot. Make sure you know whether it's the Selectip or the shorter Slim, and watch out for "Porous Point". Only the Twist-out ballpoint comes in "fine-med.-broad" designations. The others come in "Black" or "Blue" (.7mm), or Medium (1.0) or Broad. I found the .7mm to be good in dictation, it's fast. Just write bigger. Paper's cheap. They've upgraded their archival ink to more like hybrid.

my gel cartridge says 1004 0.7mm, which refill do I need?

If you are using a Cross rollerball pen (it should have a cap) then this refill should work. The only Cross pens that this refill will not fit are the Classic Centurys as they take a Slim Gel Rollingball refill. Also note that the Cross pens that take the refill that you are inquiring about will also fit the Porous point refills (which is like a felt tip) and the Jumbo ballpoint refill if you prefer ballpoint ink.

My Cross rolling ball pen has a part # 1112 ? --- Is this the same as a #1112 or will it fit a Cross pen that has a # 1112 refill in it ?

They will fit but do not buy them. I've bought them 3 times now hoping the next one will be better and each time they last about a week and then run out. This product doesn't function and is a waste of money

My old gel cartridge says 0.7mm 0411, which refill will fit?

This one should work for you. I bought these to replace one with the same numbers as you show above.
