Best fountain pen refills

[Bob Ellis]

Having made quite a few fountain pens recently in preparation for attending my first craft fair, I need to stock up with refill cartridges and advise customers of the best refills to use. But first, I need somebody to advise me! Are some cartridges better than others? If so, which are the best to buy.

The pens the cartridges need to fit are Gentleman's, Baron, Sedona, American Flat Top and European Round Top.

I just bought these and they seem fine. I repackage them into 5's and sell them for a £1. I also have bottled Parker ink as well

i use herbin cartridges, but that is more for the colour that I like. I don't sell any, but these pens take a standard international short cartridge.

I second the Herben carts....i like the vast aray of colours and they also come in a nice small tin....great to dress the stall...oh and dont forget your beafourt refills as well

I agree with Herbin for colour selection, however try Caran d'Ache for colours. ST Dupont and Montblanc for quality inks.

Cartridges as per the link Ray has put up, I find cheap is as good for cartridge users.

Thanks for the advice. I have ordered some Herbin refills. I will also be contacting Beaufort for some ballpoint refills.
