Moonman M600S Standard International Cc?

[LuisAAbrilRomero]

Hello there,

 

does the Moonman M600S accept Standard International converters & cartridges?

 

Thanks for the help!

 

Cheers,

Yes, it does. I can't tell if it's supposed to be a standard international or a Hero narrow mouth, so you shouldn't swap converters from this pen onto one that you know is designed for a German filling solution, just to be safe. But they do fit well enough.

So, do I understand you correctly that it accepts the cartridges but not necessarily a standard converter?

 

Thanks for your help!

No, it'll take either fine. The Hero size is a fraction of a millimetre larger than actual standard international, so you can almost always fit a standard international onto a Hero size ink system. But it stretches out the opening when doing so, so moving a converter back to an actual standard international pen could result in leaks.

 

The original M600 (non-s variant) was an actual international standard from Schmidt. The M600s may be international standard or may be Hero size. It's close enough for most cartridges and converters, you just don't want to swap back and forth. It's the same with most Chinese pens that take international standard but aren't Schmidt or at least German nibs.

AFAIK, the original M600 which use Schmidt nib unit taking the 2.4mm International standard C/C , the M600s use the Chinese de facto Hero C/C which use a 2.6mm throat opening ; I usually just source those 2.6mm Converter by the lot ( 10 or more ) and had a bunch in the cache , and so too the 3.2/2.4mm wide throat ones, but then I do the same with my cache of international standard 2.4mm Converter.

 

One can likely and usually use international standard Cartridge on the Hero C/C spec pens but can be a bit of hit or miss the other way round, just not recommended to use those 2.6mm Cart on 2,4mm International standard spec pens; as far as converter goes, its the other way round, Its not recommended to use international 2.4mm opening converter on Hero Spec pens buts its generally be found that Hero spec 2.6mm converter do seems to work fine ( but not always ) on 2.4mm international spec pens .. but try using water before committing and leave the converter with the said pen , swapping around is not condoned

In my M600S I use a cartridge which came with Conklin Duragraph (which is international standard) and was previously used in Duragraph. It fits M600S perfectly and gives me far better flow than the stock converted did.

Just to ensure that I don't misunderstand, are you referring to the cartridge or the converter of the Duragraph?

[WJM]

Cartridge, refilled with a syringe.

 

Didn't try the converter.
