My ink arrived! Now I just have to use up the ink in the cartridges so I can then start using the converters in my fountain pens.

@jellycrystals Fantastic inks! Which pens are you planning to fill them in?

@sopa I am new to fountain pens so only have Pilot Preppys and a Lamy Safari, nothing fancy, but I am a fan of the fine and extra fine nibs!

@jellycrystals Safari is one of my favourites, though I’m fairly deep down the rabbit hole.

@sopa A friend gave me a cheap, metal Amazon pen and I love the weight of it compared to Safari and Preppy. My upgrade pens will be a little heavier I hope. Going to run the Preppys for a while though. Might try and ink dropper one and turn one into a highlighter. I fell down a hacks hole!

@jellycrystals I’m guessing the metal pen is Chinese, perhaps Jinhao?

@jellycrystals Ran a quick Google search and yes, those pens are most likely Chinese-made. I have seen similar pens here. They seem well made and the nibs are decent too.
