Pelikan Epoch Converter?

[Drawing61]

Is it possible to fit a Pelikan Epoch with a converter?

[MJSchuelke]

Yes, but you'll have to fill the converter directly from the ink bottle (as opposed to "through the pen"), then wipe it off and put it in the cartridge holder. As you remove the converter for each fill, I doubt this will be good for the seal in the long term.

The Epoch seems like a nice pen. it would have made quite a good captured converter pen if Pelikan made those.

Thanks very much for your help. I think I'll leave the Epoch alone and enjoy it for what it is.

Hi,

 

The Epoch takes 1 long or 2 short international cartridges, and those have some range of ink colours to choose from.

Take a look at Montblancs, I'm using oster grey on mine...

 

But if you "need to/ must" use bottled ink, I'd go with cartridge refilling (with a seringe) rather than trying to fit a converter on the tray.

 

Regards,

Thanks for the good advice.

I own 2 Epochs. I like them a lot. I have one with a Pelikan converter and the other one with Edelstein ink cartridge. I reallly think, after a lot of thinking, that the way to use it is with cartridge. Forget about the bottled ink. There are nice colours on cartridge and is cleaner than use the converter. To fill it up, you have to take it out, fill it from the bottle (inky fingers everywhere) and then put it back on the tray of the pen. Just don´t worth all the trouble. My life is easier usying a cartridge.
