Inks
Ink is what brings your fountain pen to life. The choice of color and packaging defines a large part of your writing experience. To fill your pen, two worlds are open to you: the tradition and infinite color of bottled ink, or the simplicity and practicality of the cartridge.
How to Choose Your Ink? Bottle or Cartridge?
This guide will help you choose the filling system that matches your lifestyle and desires.

Ink Cartridges: Simplicity and Practicality
Who is it for? Beginners, students, professionals on the go, and anyone who values speed and cleanliness.
Pros: Easy and quick to change, clean, ideal for travel, no extra equipment needed.
Cons: Less color choice, format can be proprietary (brand-specific), less economical in the long run.
