Fountain Pen Basics: Pilot Vanishing Point Ink Cartridges

The Pilot Vanishing Point Fountain Pen (and it's smaller sibling, the Decimo), can be a bit intimidating because they look and function differently than most other fountain pens due to the fact that they have retractable nibs. To install a cartridge you need to unscrew the two parts of the barrel to access the nib unit, and then remove the converter (if installed), insert a fresh cartridge, and install the cartridge cap. Once you've done it a couple of times it becomes second nature! 0:17 Inking the Pilot Vanishing Point 1:43 Inking the Pilot Decimo Featured in this video: The Pilot Vanishing Point and Decimo Retractable Fountain Pens.
