Need help w/new Lamy Safari

[stephen82]

I just got my new Lamy Safari fountian pens - my first fountain pens - and I don't know how to put in the disposable cartridges and there are no instructions. I think I firgured out which way the cartridge goes in (not 100% sure) but when I insert it and put pressure on it nothing happens. I don't want to push too hard since I'm not positive how to insert the cartridge - so I would appreciate some instructions on how to do this.

 

Thanks in advance,

Steve

just put the cartridge in and screw the pen back together, the cartridge will click in place.

Hi,

 

The pen should have come with pictorial loading instuctions.

 

Look for the instuctions for using the T10 cartridge.

Just to add a comment:

 

The part of th ecartridge that narrows quickly, the neck if you like, is the part that goes into the section, IOW, directed towards the nib.

 

HTH, warm regards, Wim

I didn't get instructions with either of the pens, but I followed the advice of screwing the pen back together and it went in fine. And now that I have ink in my first two fountain pens and have tried them out - I am very pleased. Well, here is another hobby to spend my money on:)

With Lamy, the painted end of the cartridge is the "business end".

Ah, yes - I remember the first time I got a fountain pen. It was a Parker Vector that came in them plastic packs, and I had no idea how to put the cartridge in

 

Fountain pen manufacturers should really consider making their pens come with instructions. The new generation doesnt know how to use fountain pens. Thank goodness for helpful websites like FPN. Just hanging around here can make you feel like an expert
