Pilot | converter for PILOT fountain pens | CONVERTER-40

The Pilot CON-40 is a piston-style ink converter designed to enhance the versatility of your Pilot or Namiki fountain pens, allowing you to use bottled ink instead of disposable cartridges. This converter is compatible with a wide range of Pilot and Namiki pens, including models such as the Metropolitan, Kakuno, Prera, and Vanishing Point, among others

Key Features:

  • Capacity: The CON-40 holds approximately 0.4 mL of ink, making it suitable for short writing sessions or sampling different ink colors.

  • Design: Constructed from durable plastic, the converter features a transparent barrel, enabling users to monitor ink levels easily.

  • Agitator Beads: Inside the ink reservoir, four small metal ball bearings act as agitators. These beads help to break up surface tension and air bubbles, ensuring a smoother and more consistent ink flow 

  • Ease of Use: To fill the converter, simply twist the knob to lower the piston, submerge the nib into your ink bottle, and twist the knob in the opposite direction to draw ink into the converter. Repeating this process can help achieve a fuller fill

Considerations:

While the CON-40 offers the convenience of using bottled ink, some users have reported challenges with achieving a full fill due to its smaller capacity and design. Techniques such as multiple filling cycles or using a syringe to assist in filling may be necessary to maximize ink capacity
