Cartridge for rOtring 600

[Bull Winkle]

I've been told that the Waterman Converter will fit a 1st Gen rotring 600, will the Waterman brand cartridge also work?

Hi,

 

I have a Rotring 600 and it use international cartridge, which I think it's the same as waterman.

It should unless the length is an issue for some reason--same with Pelikan long cartridges. Of course you can get all kinds of the standard international cartridges easily enough and they are much more plentiful than the Waterman and Pelikan ones in the longer type. I will say some pens I've had could not take the longer cartridge because of the way the inside of the barrel was made. It shouldn't be a program with the 600, though. My preference is just to put two international cartridges in there back to back and I always have a spare that way.

 

You might still be able to find the Rotring converters, by the way, and they are worth the effort as I always though the Rotring converters were among the best ones out there. They seem to work great in many pens that have cheap converters from the manufacturers--like Laban. Changing to a Rotring converter transformed several Laban pens I had.

I've not been able to use the current Waterman converters in my Rotring 600 (1st gen); they simply wouldn't fit. I had to buy the Rotring ink converter R251300, bought from pens_n_more (no affiliation) on Ebay for $10.49 for 3. The short international cartidges certainly fit, back-to-back. I haven't tried the Waterman cartridges.

I just received a Rotring R251300 today. I was wondering if it will take international converter. It came with a short cartridge. I assume it to be international.
