Vibrant. Fun. Modern. The sleek tapered profile of the Sheaffer VFM has an almost aerodynamic quality, and comes in a variety of finishes to suit any taste.

This matte gray lacquered fountain pen is complemented by sleek matte black trim. It features a satisfying snap cap that posts securely onto the back of the barrel when writing. The clip features a Sheaffer White Dot, the trademark symbol of writing excellence. It comes with a stainless steel nib.

This VFM fountain pen cannot accept a converter; only standard international ink cartridges. The fountain pen comes in a gift box with a standard international ink cartridge, and warranty information included.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use this pen with ink cartridges? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

A cartridge is small, disposable, sealed plastic reservoir that holds fountain pen ink. These come pre-filled with ink, and typically you just push to insert them into place and you'll be ready to write!

This pen uses standard international ink cartridges, a common size which is available in many colors from various brands.

You can learn more about how to actually install an ink cartridge on our blog, or in this video tutorial:

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.
