Waterman Mini Vs. Long Cartridge


Bradley

Recommended Posts

I have a Waterman Expert "City Line" (Urban Silver) fountain pen. I have used bottled ink and a converter with it in the past, but decided to try cartridges. I thought I had the regular (long) style on hand, but turns out I have the "mini." Will these work? And does one put two cartridges in the barrel, back to back, as with Cross? Thanks in advance.

I am no Waterman Expert, but yes the small cartridges should work and you would be able to put two in if there is enough place.

Yes, both long and short/international carts should work in the Expert. They do in mine, but it's from 2000. I'm not sure if the model has changed that much since then.

I only have one Waterman pen (a Phileas), but I'm pretty sure it will accept both long and short cartridges. I usually use the long ones though. I don't know if it's required or recommended to put two short cartridges back-to-back, but as long as a second cartridge fits and doesn't get stuck, it is a rather convenient way to carry a spare. I think you'll be fine using the short cartridges, whether or not you put two of them in the barrel. Perhaps others with more experience can say for sure though. I hope this helps.

Dronak, thank you. I know what you mean about putting two cartridges in the barrel. I have a Cross Century fountain pen from years ago, and the spare cartridge inevitably gets stuck in the barrel. I figure it helps keep the other cartridge in place, if nothing else. I'm glad to know the short cartridges will work in my Waterman, although I've ordered a few of the longer version. Thank you for your kind reply.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
