Does this come with a converter or do I need to buy one separately? I don't want to buy cartridges.

The converter has to purchased separately. Please note, there are better fountain pens than Waterman in my opinion.

Yes you can. The converter can be removed. Just make sure you get the correct cartridges.

It does come with the cartridges. I have heard they are not replaceable though, so apparently you throw it all away once it no longer filters well. I keep mine in a ziploc bag when not in use to keep it from wearing out. The resealable bag it comes in is pretty flimsy.

It doesn't take cartridges, it is a refillable pen. I bought a bottle of ink and its lasted at least a year and through two pens

Yes, the ink converter is included into the package. along with two ink cartridges as well. The ink converter is a twist pump and not a plunger making it easier to hold the ink inside.

That pen has a "Removable ink converter included - Cartridge compatible." So you should not need this converter since it already comes with one. This converter can be used with most any Fountain Pen that uses cartridges, however. So, with the included converter, all you have to do is suck up the ink from a bottle or ink well and insert in the pen like a cartridge.

No it doesn't come with cartridges it uses the mini ones and it is a pump action.

Ink converter should work but I never tried it myself. Do not know anything about warranty. -- The way my kids treat them, it would not apply.

Do you need a converter? I bought one only to find one came with the pen. If you need one, buy the one that Amazon sells.

Hi Danyou should be able to click on the cartridge when you change it. go to tools and you should see a button to accept the cartrige

The converter is not included with the pen; you have to buy it separately but I found one here on Amazon for $5 total (product+shipping).

I purchased this last month, and the seller is AMAZON, not a third-party one. There is NO converter coming with it. I viewed the pen on some other websites and they claimed CLEARLY that a converter is included and their unboxing images also show that there is a converter in it. Not in the box, but seated in the pen body already. That is why I thought I would get one when I purchased from AMAZON, but I was wrong. Now this pen is out of stock on AMAZON, hope the problem will be gone when it is available again.

This comes with an adapter. When it is removed, the larger cartridge fits. Sure saves a lot of $.

I do not remember if it came with a converter, but yes, it works with a converter. That's how I am using it right now.

Go to jetpens.com. They have the converters (there are two i believe.... A plastic and metal one). Either is fine. You can buy them off amazon if they are cheaper here. Sorry( too lazy to look it up for ya) =p

Not sure what the deal is! The email shows a red one just like mine but this picture in blue is way off the grid for answering your question. It is not like the one I bought with an insert for the smaller cartridges. e.g. 221 // The 220 or 320 use the back plane of the one I own. I just lift the insert out and place them in to reset them. Mine works well. Again, this is not the one own.

What is a converter vs cartridge?Do I just refill w/ a needle from an ink bottle ?
