Which cartridge does the Lamy Al Star use? I'm not looking for a converter / bottled ink.

The Lamy AL Star and the Lamy Safari both take the Lamy T10 refill cartridge. I suggest a converter, since they are easy to use and save a lot of money, but the cartridges themselves are also available through Amazon. You should be able to find them easily by looking at the "related items" section. Have fun with your new pen!

I am sorry, I am not entirely sure. I just ordered the Lamy Fountain pen in cartridges and they work. I am thinking that they fit all Lamy pens!

I used these Lamy Cartridges Refill - Black -5-pack T10BKYou probably use any similar lamy cartridge, of the same size.

Like most companies, the Lamy pens only use Lamy cartridges and/or Lamy converters for bottled ink. I tried some common cartridges from Schaefer and Parker that were loose around the office, but they do not exactly fit at the end where the ink comes out. By the way, I use the converter myself which is very inexpensive. The ink can be any kind of non permanent ink, and those range to as little ast 3 dollars for a bottle that lasts almost all year.

No, the Parker IM Fountain pen does not contain an ink converter. However, I recommend that you purchase one. Be sure to use Parker's Quink for you ink. It doesn't clog like other brands might.

I have only used bottled ink in this pen. However, I think it can use cartridges. Check with their website or call them to be certain.

No suggestion for waterproof ink, but, come to think of it, I'd like to know! Any fountain pen with a clean nib _can_ be a dip pen. Lamy has it's own model of "converter" so you definitely don't need cartridges. The converters use the same screw-piston arrangement as most other brands use. Yes, you can refill by hand.

The converter is for siphoning ink out of a bottle so you can use it in the pen instead of a cartridge. Don't know about archival. I think this is a great pen for the money--works better than several $100 pens I have owned! It did take my months to figure out that the calligraphy nib was inserted into the cap when the pen arrived--when I finally pulled that nib out I realized how beautifully the pen works--the cap posts nicely and clicks on satisfyingly. I prefer the medium nib to the calligraphy nib, but all in all a great pen and a phenomenal buy.

Shaffer no nonsense fountain pen takes cartridge or converter. We can sell you cartridges. For your information: the pen comes with 2 cartridges

excellent choice. I use it for photos, making greeting cards, and copies. Actually, I try tofind CL-51 .....same ink, larger quantity, so I don't have to change cartridges as often. I also would like to mention that a cartridge should NOT be removed until your replacement is ready to be installed as the spout should never be allowed to dry! I have been amazed at how many people are unaware of this, and actually remove a cartridge to bring to a store for identifying another purchase or for exchange! It can ruin your printer's quality!

I believe Parker uses international cartridges, but why you would want to use cartridge based ink is beyond me. It's considerably more expensive and limiting than using bottled ink. Get a converter with this pen, that's what I did.

This pen uses standard international size cartridges so the "Monteverde Ink Converter, Clear" should work fine.Monteverde Ink Converter, Clear (31076)

Yes they use the standard cartridge ink. That's what I use and have had no issues.

This pen comes with, and uses standard international converters. I think Lamy does the same so yes.

A cartridge is a prefilled, disposable ink container that is proprietary to Lamy, and they tend to be more expensive in the long run because of the plastic casing.A converter is refilled from an ink bottle you buy, possibly in bulk. In the long run, this is much cheaper, and you'll usually get better results. I like using Noodle's bulletproof black.

This pen takes any standard international size cartridge, such as any Waterman ink cartridge. However, it comes with a cartridge converter, which I use to fill my pen from a bottle. The cartridge converter that came with my pen is the slide type rather than the more common twist type. It works fine.

By looking at the pen you listed, you already have one of these in your pen. This is for if you want to convert a fountain pen that takes cartridges to one that you can refill by a bottle. the cartridges are nice because you just pop them in and go, but if you're willing to take a little time to get your technique down on filling these from a bottle, it saves quite a bit of money

I purchased the silver and gold pen. That individual pen does not take cartridges but instead has a refillable ink well inside, so buy ink.

My pen did not come with a converter. It came with a cartridge of LAMY blue ink.

As far as I know, the cartridges are no longer beeing made so with luck, ebay might be the place. I use the charge pump on the pen. At times it might get messy, but I allways have a full pen. Hope it helped.
