Mont Blanc Ink Cartridges Fit On Which Pen?

[helene20]

I did a search and could not find an answer.

 

I have a Mont Blanc fountain pen that I received as a gift in the 90s. The other day a friend bought me Mont Blanc ink cartridges for a gift. My Mont Blanc cannot take the cartridges. I can't return the cartridges and would like to know if I can fit in any of these pens:

 

-Visconti Van Gogh

-Edison Collier

-TWSBI Mini

-Lamy Safari

-Pilot Metropolitan

-Noodler's Ahab

 

Thanks in advance!

I have very limited experience and am not really qualified to answer your question. However I am pretty sure that the Mont Blanc cartridge will not fit into the Lamy Safari or Pilot Metropolitan because those 2 pens use their own brand/proprietary ink cartridge. I've used the Mont Blanc cartridges in other pens which take International/Standard size cartridges.

You should look for pens that take "standard international" cartridges. I am fairly sure that Montblanc cartridges would be compatible with those; I have certainly heard of people putting standard international cartridges in Montblanc C/C pens.

 

The Visconti Van Gogh and Edison Collier should be OK.

 

The TWSBI is a piston-filler that will only work with bottled ink. I believe the Ahab also only drinks from a bottle.

 

Pilot and Lamy use "proprietary" cartridges that are not standard international size. (Although I think there may be a Metropolitan variant sold outside the USA that does take standard international cartridges, the two I have take the incompatible Pilot cartridges.)

 

I hope this helps.

Thanks, that helps. I did not know the Lamy or Pilot had their own ink cartridge because I use the converter with my pens.

Thank you I will try to search if the Viscoton or Edison can take the cartridges.

Viscontis do take international cartridges.

Thank you!

The Edison will work as well.

The Edison will work as well.

 

Thank you I will try the Mont Blanc cartridge in the Edison first.
