This is the duty of the individual who uses the writing instrument.

It’s not enough just to answer what is an ink refill converter. To enjoy the best user experience, learn how this device should be applied.

How does one use an ink converter? Before filling an ink converter, make sure its sizes fit the writing instrument well. Pen converters might also be different. Below, you'll get familiar with a tutorial on how to fill the most common type of converters. If everything is okay, we suggest following these steps:

  1. Unscrew your pen into two parts.
  2. Put the nib of a pen into the bottle filled with the necessary writing liquid.
  3. To fill in the devices with the liquid, start pulling the plunger and ensure that the ink goes up into the chamber.
  4. When the refiller is filled in, check if it doesn’t leak and carefully put it into your writing instruments.
  5. Put the unscrewed sections of the tool together.
  6. The ink might not start flowing onto the surface instantly. You should check this before writing on a paper.
  7. When you complete these simple stages, your writing tool is ready for use. Enjoy writing!

Very beautiful, solid and can be posted and become a very large pen. The 18K M nib is with some good flex and nice flow of ink. The nib is not as smooth as Visconti and Montegrappa pens but provide more feedback to me, just like writing with 4B pencil. The pen can house a Bock 250 nib assembly without a problem. I shall return for more of the Ancora pens, stunning!
