Diamine uses the international standard short format ink cartridge.
These cartridges are not compatible with Parker, Cross, Sheaffer, and Lamy fountain pens.
Each pack contains 18 ink cartridges.
Yes, Diamine ink is water-based, acid-free, and non-toxic, making it safe for all brands of fountain pens.
It is best to use one cartridge at a time. When changing colors, flush your pen thoroughly to avoid mixing inks, which can lead to undesirable color changes or clogging.
Unscrew the pen's grip, remove the old cartridge or converter, and firmly insert the new Diamine cartridge into the nipple. Reassemble the pen.
Diamine has been making ink in England since 1864.
Ensure the cartridge is properly seated on the pen's nipple. Some pens require the cartridge seal to be pierced; try gently pressing the cartridge against a soft surface or using a pen tool. Allow time for ink to reach the nib. If the issue persists, try a new cartridge or flush the pen's feed.
Check if the cartridge is nearly empty. Ensure the feed is clean and free of debris. Gently clean the nib and feed with a damp cloth. If the pen has a converter, ensure it's properly connected and the cartridge is securely attached.
Verify that you have inserted the correct color cartridge. Diamine inks can sometimes appear lighter when first starting or when the feed is not fully saturated. Write a few sentences to allow the ink to flow fully.
Setup: To install a cartridge, unscrew the pen's grip section from the barrel. Remove any old cartridge or converter. Insert the new Diamine cartridge into the nipple, ensuring it is firmly seated. Some pens may require you to gently push the cartridge to pierce its seal. Reassemble the pen by screwing the grip section back onto the barrel. Allow a few minutes for the ink to flow down to the nib, or gently prime the feed by twisting the converter slightly (if applicable) or by touching the nib to a damp cloth.
Compatibility: These cartridges use the international standard short format. They are compatible with most fountain pens that accept this standard. They are NOT compatible with Parker, Cross, Sheaffer, or Lamy fountain pens, as these brands use proprietary cartridge systems. Always check your pen's specifications if unsure.
Care: When changing ink colors, it is recommended to flush the pen thoroughly with cool water to prevent ink mixing. Store unused cartridges in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. While Diamine ink is water-based, it's advisable to clean any dried ink from the nib and feed periodically to ensure optimal ink flow.
