Monteverde Mini International Converter...it works...small ink capacity but at least it works. Tight fit...no leaks...solid converter. Thank you Pendemonium.

I'm thinking of turning my StarWalker into an eyedropper.

I think I have one of those converters. Think I'll stick with J. Herbin cartridges. Also, the empty cartridge-syringe method, should I run out of J. Herbin cartridges.

That's an excellent idea. Post the photos as you go through the steps.

Maestro,

 

Thanks for sharing the tip!

Is the convertor a friction fit or screw in, and I assume you can now fill the pen through the nib?

Friction and yes I filled it through the nib.

Great info! Thank you for letting us know.

 

I would love to use a Convertor in my Starwalker Cool Blue

Now I wonder if that converter would also fit the 100 yrs annual edition.

Superb! Do you know if this would work on a Boheme? Might not be able to fill it as much though... How can I get one :) Thanks!

[Davide77]

I have seen something quite similar in Art Friend. Only costs about a dollar or so.

[asimplemaestro]

1) Converter can be bought at Pendemonium.com

 

2) It DOES fit on my 100 year Anniversary Starwalker

 

3) Will not work on the small Boheme but any standard MB converter will fit the large Boheme with the fixed nib.

Great news and thank you for posting. I will get my Starwalker out of the cupboard and try again to get to love it.

Here is a short squeeze converter posted on Ebay. Looks like it might work, too, on short cartridge pens, that lack the room to squirrel a short spare. I have a very, very, short MonteVerde Essenz and even the short plunger cartridge is too long. It works, but, if you load ink in it and pull the plunger all the way back, you are going to have a mess when you screw the barrel back on. Always have to back off the plunger. Have been living with it, but, going to try this Ebay converter.

hi, i found a good idea to make myself a piston convertor for mont blanc using the cartidge.

 

My wife by mistake brought me a campo marzio piston converter. i realise you can remove the metal ring at its tip and fit a "cut" cartridge (MB) over the tip of the piston converter like a tight virgin. (you can glue it together using pvc glue. but i suggest not to. in case the original cart nib is broken you still can replace one with ease)

 

it is so good that you can even fill the piston over the rear screw tip of the mont blanc.

It works in a Targa as well. It's from the calligraphy set.

Thanks

I've been using Pelikan convertor since I bought the black resin starwalker 3 years ago. Still working very well. It also works on my 100 Years anv Starwalker.

I have a couple of these converters and they do not fit my Greta Garbo or my Mozart. The end does not fit in properly (it is too large to fit into the nib unit). You may have more luck with larger nib units on other pens. I've found the monte verde is the only one that fits, it's only disadvantage being it holds a much smaller amount of ink, therefore more filling. This may not be a problem if you are home a lot (as I am as I work mainly from home) but it may be a problem if you work outside the home and have to fill frequently.
