Fountain pen ink comes two ways, and the difference shapes both your colour choice and your cost. Cartridges click in clean and simple; bottled ink opens up a huge palette for less per millilitre. The one rule is that cartridges are brand-specific.

For cartridges, no, they are brand-specific and must match your pen. For bottled ink, most fountain pen inks work in most pens as long as it is proper fountain pen ink. Never use drawing or India ink, which will clog the pen.
Cartridges are sealed refills that click in cleanly but limit you to the brand's colours. Bottled ink is filled via a converter, offering a much wider colour range and a lower cost per millilitre in return for a little more handling.
Fit a converter to the pen in place of a cartridge, dip the nib fully into the ink, and twist or pull the converter to draw ink up. Wipe the nib, and you are ready to write.
It is usually a dry or partly clogged feed, often from ink drying during a gap in use. A flush with clean water normally fixes it. Keeping the pen capped and used regularly prevents it.

Cartridge or bottle

Cartridges are the simple option. A sealed ink cartridge clicks straight into the pen with no mess, but it ties you to the colours your pen's brand makes, and cartridges are brand-specific, so they must match your pen.

Bottled ink is filled into a converter or drawn into the pen, which takes a moment more but opens up a vast colour range and works out cheaper per millilitre. Many writers keep cartridges for convenience and a bottle or two for the colours they love. Either way, match the ink to your pen and the way it fills.

Two ways to ink a pen

Every fountain pen takes ink one of two ways. Cartridges are sealed refills that click straight in with no mess, ideal for travel and everyday use, while bottled ink is drawn in through a converter and rewards you with a far bigger colour range at a lower cost per millilitre.

The matching rule

Cartridges are brand-specific, so they have to match your fountain pen. Bottled fountain pen ink is far more flexible across pens, but only ever use proper fountain pen ink, never drawing or India ink, which will clog the feed. Keep a spare nib on hand while you are at it.

Build a small collection

Most fountain pen users keep cartridges for convenience and a couple of bottles for the colours they love. We carry Lamy, Pilot, Herbin and more, with the full pens range alongside.
