Want To Know What Pelikan Hub Looks Like When You're From A Country That Makes Ink And Cartridges For Nearly All Brands Out There?

So yeah...this happened. We just dropped them an e-mail that we're having a "fountain pen" gathering. There were 6 of us total. We got a million cartridges, ~50 pens, several litres of ink, syringes, ... they totally eclipsed Pelikan.


Thank you, Vivapen.


I have no idea what to do with 410 cartridges I received.


For those who don't know, Vivapen makes...almost all of the ink cartridges in this world. They also make inks for most major brands out there. You can probably tell from bottles multiple brands they work for, but there's more. Like Lamy. And Skrip. And Online. And Pelikan (at least the 4001 line). And many, many others.

Thank you, I just wrote to Vivapen asking if they have a cartridge that fits Geha pens or could make a cartridge that would fit them on one side.

I've seen many pretty Geha cartridge pens, and at very affordable prices in there are no cartridges. What few one has, has to be needle filled.

Ransom Bucket cost me many of my pictures taken by a poor camera that was finally tossed. Luckily, the Chicken Scratch pictures also vanished.

Yeah, I will definitely be giving a lot away. Most of the inks are either Schaeffer or Pelikan 4001 or Kaweco, but they are of course unbranded bottles.

 

Cartridges and pens are probably going to the elementary schools for kids, as we still have mandatory usage of fountain pens here. Bottles - not so sure. Ill see how Ill pull this off.

 

Bo Bo I dont know if they can make it specifically, but if they make it anyway already, they will. Are there any cartridges that work with Geha you know of now already? Ive got Jolly, lots of various unbranded, Manuscript, Lamy, ... cartridges. Perhaps some of these fit? Id be happy to send some your way.

No, cartridges. Lamy's skinny side was suppose to work, but some said it don't.....and I couldn't get it to fit on the single Geha cartridge pen I have, not even enough to make a hole in it.

That's very nice of you to pass that onto schools where it can do some good. I think that would be nearly a lifetimes worth of ink for me. I'd not heard of Vivapen previously.
