In our new series, "Fountain Pen Basics," I discuss topics of interest to those new to fountain pens, such as how to fill a fountain pen, how to clean a fountain pen, and related tips and tricks. In Part II of this series, I look at a couple of different cartridge converter filling systems, including those by Pilot (their proprietary cartridge and the Con-70 pump converter), as well as a Schmidt piston-style converter. Subsequent videos in this series to will look at piston fillers, eyedroppers, and vacuum fillers. Maybe we'll even get into some vintage fountain pens?
