Product Information
Full details
The Pelikan Ink Cartridges 20-pack is designed for students, office professionals, and fountain pen enthusiasts who require a reliable, long-lasting ink supply for daily writing tasks. These cartridges offer the primary benefit of smooth, consistent ink flow and the convenience of being both erasable and washable, making them a practical choice for schoolwork or professional note-taking. One caveat to keep in mind is that while they are designed for standard cartridge-filling pens, compatibility can vary with non-Pelikan brands, so it is best to verify your pen accepts international standard cartridges before purchasing.

FAQs
Are these cartridges compatible with all fountain pens?
They fit Pelikan pens and most pens that use standard international cartridges. They do not fit brands that require proprietary cartridges, such as Lamy or Sailor.
Is the ink permanent?
No, this royal blue ink is designed to be erasable and washable, making it non-permanent.
How long will a pack of 20 cartridges last?
Usage depends on your writing frequency and nib size. An average user writing daily notes can expect a pack to last several months.
Can I refill these cartridges with bottled ink?
While the plastic is durable, they are designed as single-use disposable cartridges. Refilling them is possible with a syringe but is not officially recommended by the manufacturer.
Does the ink work on all types of paper?
It works on most standard writing papers, but may feather on extremely thin or porous paper.
Troubleshooting
Pen is not writing after inserting a new cartridge
Ensure the cartridge is fully seated and the seal has been pierced. If it still won't flow, dip the nib slightly in water to prime the feed.
Ink flow is inconsistent or scratchy
Flush the pen with clean water to remove dried ink residue from a previous cartridge. Check that the nib is properly aligned.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Generous 20-cartridge supply provides excellent value for frequent writers
- Royal blue ink is easy to wash out of most fabrics
- Erasable properties allow for quick corrections in formal or academic settings
- Highly reliable flow ensures your pen starts writing immediately
- Compact and spill-proof packaging is ideal for carrying in a bag
Cons
- Not compatible with pens that require proprietary cartridge systems
- Royal blue color may not be suitable for official documents requiring permanent black ink
- Hard plastic casing requires a firm press to pierce in some pen feeds
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the cartridge, gently insert the narrow end into the pen feed and press down firmly until you feel a click or notice the seal has been pierced. If the ink does not start flowing immediately, hold the pen nib-down for a few seconds or gently shake it. For care, avoid leaving your pen uncapped for extended periods to prevent the ink from drying in the feed. If you plan to switch ink colors or clean your pen, flush the feed and nib assembly with lukewarm distilled water. Store your cartridges in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the ink formulation.
