WatermanParis Fountain Cartridge Pen Refill, Black Ink, 8/Pack (S0712991)

I love that I can obtain this ink from Amazon as I am not close to any stores which sell it. It is perfect for my Waterman fountain pens. The ink is non spreading and doesn't leak, i.e., it forms a tight seal in the pen and creates smooth, clear lettering.

The only ink I will use is a Waterman fountian pen. It has all the attributes of quality in ink I have come to expect and I feel that I am protecting some rather expensive pens in the process. The design fits well and the ink dries in a short time so there is few occasions of me smering the pave.

I love to write with a fountain pen. This fits my hand very nicely and produces a fine, even flow of ink. I like the cartridge it uses. Looks so elegant too. Priced right for most budgets.

These appear to be perfectly acceptable refills. The problem for me is that I believed another reviewer who said all Waterman refills were the same length. They are not. Unfortunately, my pen requires a 2-1/2” long refill; these refills are about 2-7/8”. If your pen accepts that length, these probably would be fine. Obviously, I should have read more reviews or asked for specifics. I might also have been able to avoid my mistake if seller had stated length in product description.

Nice OEM product, worth the money

Nice color. Nice size. And they always provide fresh ink. Because the cartridge is sealed until the pen's feed tube breaks it, the ink is never exposed to air and remains clean and fresh. The only down side is the flow is harder to start because the pen's feed system is empty until ink starts to flow out of the cartridge as air exchange starts. A slight squeeze is usually enough to do the job; but you still have to wait a couple of minutes for results.If you want to pre-fill the nib's feed, draw up the ink from a bottle. That means you need either a converter (which will wear out with use) or a pen designed to use bottled ink only. The down side of that is cleaning the pen out after a few fills. If you don't, the ink residue with start to clog it. With this cartridge, a quick flush with cold water under a faucet should do the job nicely after removing the empty and before fitting a new full one.Definitely works with all Waterman cartridge pens and may work with a few other brands as well.

Perfect

Nothing wrong with this, other than its blue ink, labeled Intense Black. I read the reviews and this issue came up several times. I figured it was whiny complaining, but it really is blue. My bad, so I’ll live with blue. If you really want black ink, you’re rolling the dice on this.
