I did some searching and called several office supply stores. The best info I got about the pens were they weren't selling at the office supply stores so they weren't being reordered. The company will usually discontinue a product that doesn't generate re orders. Odd the pens weren't marketed for crafts but in the office/stationary products. I ordered a box of 12 pens from Amazon. This should last me for all my quilt labels. This pen is really worth it. Writes like butter on fabric.
