Hold More Ink in Your Cartridge Fountain Pen

This pen uses the shorter Universal or Mont Blanc cartridge shown on the right. It would be very handy if I could travel with a bigger cartridge in the pen that would hold more ink.

Step 1 Help is on the way

The cartridges on the right are the Mont Blanc style cartridge used by many fountain pens. The cartridge on the left is a Waterman cartridge. The fitting where the cartridge attaches to the pen's nib section is identical on both the Mont Blanc and the Waterman cartridges.

When I did my previous Instructable referenced in step 3, I got several comments similar to yours. My experience with converters has not been as satisfactory as filling cartridges with an eyedropper, and I have found converters carry less, not more ink. Remember that the object for me in this Instructable was to carry more ink with me in my pen.

That seems like allot of work just to hold a little more ink, especially when you can just get a converter.
