Frequently Asked Questions

What is a converter? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

A converter is a cartridge-shaped reservoir that allows you to use bottled fountain pen ink, when a cartridge would otherwise be your only option. Fountain pens that have this option are usually referred to as a cartridge/converter pen, or C/C for short.

How do I use a converter? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

A converter goes in the place of where the ink cartridge would normally go. From there, you can fill your fountain pen from bottled ink.

A converter is a detachable and refillable ink reservoir that allows you to use bottled ink in a cartridge-accepting pen. Typically you will install the converter into the grip section, dip the nib/feed into the ink, and twist or pull the converter knob to draw ink into the converter.

We have a great video showing how to use a converter here:

How do I clean this fountain pen? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

It mostly comes down to flushing out the pen with water, and sometimes a little bit of pen flush if the ink is really stuck. 

We put together a blog post with step-by-step instructions, or you can watch the video here:

We recommend a good cleaning every 2 weeks, and any time you change ink colors. Water will usually do the trick, but we recommend you use our Goulet Pen Flush if the ink has been left in the pen for a while and could have dried up, or when you’re switching ink colors.

For even more information about fountain pen cleaning, check out our Fountain Pen 101 video blog post.

Which fountain pens take a converter? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

These fountain pens all take a converter. Please check the individual product descriptions for if the pen needs a proprietary or standard converter.

Works awesome in my Platinum President !!!

This is proprietary converters for your platinum pens, and it delivers nice consistent, rich ink flow for your pen (if it demands such). In my case - i have a Platinum President (B nib) which has a very nice rich ink flow, very smooth triter = very similar to MB 146 (M nib).

Great Converter!!!

Upon receiving my gold platinum ink converter I noticed it arrived early, came in it's own box(unlike most converters) and packaged very well. The goulet team does a very well job making sure your packaging arrives safe. It's well greased upon opening, disassembles very easy, and usually fills all the way to the top with having to expel ink various times! Great product, from a great retailer, from an amazing brand!!!

Expensive

The converter does its job well, but the price offsets the happiness that it provides. I am using it in a Platinum Preppy, and at twice the price of the pen that it's in, it is a little ridiculous. Overall, I very much like the product, but the cost is a little higher than I would have liked.
