FAQs
Are these cartridges refillable?
No, these are designed as single-use ink cartridges and are not intended to be refilled.
What is the difference between short and long international cartridges?
Short international cartridges are shorter in length and typically do not fit with a converter. Long international cartridges are longer and can be used with a converter or sometimes directly.
Can I mix Caran d'Ache ink with other brands?
It is generally not recommended to mix different brands of fountain pen ink, as it can lead to chemical reactions that may clog or damage your pen. It is best to flush the pen thoroughly between inks.
How long does a cartridge typically last?
The lifespan of a cartridge depends on your writing habits and the pen's ink consumption. For average daily use, a single cartridge can last from a few days to a couple of weeks.
Is the "Divine Pink" ink waterproof?
The product description does not specify that the ink is waterproof. Standard fountain pen inks are generally not waterproof.
Where can I find a list of compatible pens?
Consult your fountain pen manufacturer's documentation. Any pen explicitly stating compatibility with 'short international cartridges' should work.
Troubleshooting
Ink not flowing to the nib
Ensure the cartridge is properly seated and the seal has been pierced. Gently tap the pen nib-down on a protected surface to encourage ink flow, or try a converter to flush the feed with water.
Skipping or scratchy writing
Check for any debris on the nib. Clean the nib and feed gently with water and a soft cloth. Ensure the ink has had sufficient time to reach the feed.
Ink is too light or inconsistent
This can indicate an issue with the pen's feed system or a partially blocked cartridge. Try a different cartridge or flush the pen's feed system.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Select a fountain pen compatible with short international ink cartridges.
- Unscrew the pen barrel.
- Remove any existing cartridge or converter.
- Insert a new Caran d'Ache Chromatics cartridge firmly into the pen's ink feed until it pierces the seal.
- Reattach the pen barrel.
- Allow a few minutes for the ink to flow to the nib. You may need to gently prime the feed if flow is slow initially.
Compatibility:
These cartridges use the short international standard size. They are compatible with most fountain pens designed to accept this format. They are *not* compatible with proprietary cartridge systems (e.g., Parker, Lamy proprietary, Sheaffer proprietary) or long international cartridges. Always check your pen's specifications if unsure.
Care:
- Store unused cartridges in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Keep cartridges in their original packaging until ready for use.
- Ensure the pen is properly capped when not in use to prevent ink from drying out in the feed.
