Pen Cartridges
Hi All;
I bought a Faber- Castell FP and ordered a box of cartridges for it. I think it is a international size, but not real sure. Also I can't find a converter for said pen. Thaks for your time. Don |

Thaks for your time. Don Hi Don, Faber-Castell makes some beautiful pens. If you like FPs, you should take a look at www.fountainpennetwork.com I'm sure some of the members there can assist you in choosing the appropriately sized cartridges and can tell you if there is a converter for you particular model. Hope to see you there! |

HI; I bought the Faber-Castell Ambition from swisher. I also ordered cartridges from them. I have 14 dealers book marked; all sold cartridges being international size. But not them or a yahoo search turned up what would be called a cartridge for the above pen. Somwhere it might be implied, but I have found no "Faber-Castell cartridges". I have been told on FPN that they "should" be compatible with Pelikan. Thanks Don |

Your pen, for example, and my Kawecos. Pens that use proprietary cartridges will have carts labeled specifically for them such as Cross, Lamy, and Parker. The exception would be a company such as Pelikan that makes pens AND ink. Since Pel makes standard int'l carts, you'll be fine. Words are tricky. It's difficult to know when it's safe to take someone literally or not, until you get used to the territory. The FPN respondent probably used "should" for the Pel carts because they will, barring some unknown factor. The thing is that there are so many pens we can't possibly know them all. However, Pels work where other standard international cartridges won't, so I have no doubt that they'll be fine. You're welcome. I see that Stephen has more info for you.

Also I can't find a converter for said pen. Thaks for your time. I bought the Faber-Castell Ambition from swisher. I also ordered cartridges from them. Fahrney's sells a converter for the Ambition: http://www.fahrneyspens.com/Item--i-600102 Yes, that's what I found when I googled, but then I realized that I didn't know which model pen he has. At Fountain Pen Hospital you can also order a converter for the Ambition (from the drop-down list select Manufacturer: Faber- Castell; Refill Type: Converter for Ambition FP; choose the quantity, and click on Buy; you can also select a six-pack of cartridges): http://www.fountainpenhospital.com/refills/refills_ct.asp On Joon's website you can read the following: | The Graf von Faber-Castell Fountain Pens that can take | cartridges will accept the following brands: | Montblanc, Waterman Mini, Pelikan, Rotring, Caran d'Ache, S.T. | Dupont for Orpheo/Fidelio and Cartier. http://www.joonpens.com/display_refill?brandid=18 I've never ordered anything from these dealers. Even though I order mainly from Swisher's, I have ordered from Fahrney's and FPH w/o problems. It just depends on what I want, which place has it for the best price, and if there are other items I can get at the same time to save on shipping. I've read that others have been happy with Joon's. -- ~~Bluesea~~ Spam is great in musubi, but not in email. Please take out the trash before sending a direct reply. |

Happy writing "fountain pen converter universal" should have worked. But, now you know for sure that you're getting a converter that will fit your pen.
