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

-
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
