Pen Tip and Ink Compatibility
The TRAVELER’S COMPANY Brass Rollerball Pen uses a standard international short cartridge system. This thoughtful design allows the pen to accept compatible fountain pen cartridges, giving you an exceptionally wide variety of options for ink colors rather than locking you into a single proprietary refill. It offers a practical way to enjoy the fluidity of fountain pen ink with the familiar ease of a rollerball.
The key functional element of this design is a 0.5 mm rotating ball that delivers a smooth, consistent line width similar to a 0.7 mm gel pen. Because liquid fountain pen ink flows more generously than standard gel ink, it creates a slightly fuller, more expressive mark on the page while maintaining an effortless glide.

Pairing this pen with the right ink brand can beautifully enhance your daily writing experience. The following options offer excellent compatibility and reliable performance:

- Pelikan (4001 Series): Known for a slightly drier formulation, this classic German ink helps control the pen's generous ink flow, keeping your lines clean and crisp.

Cartridge Compatibility Note
To ensure a perfect fit, please look for packs specifically labeled as Standard International Short cartridges. We recommend avoiding proprietary cartridges from brands like Pilot, Sailor, Platinum, LAMY, Parker, or Cross, as their unique shapes will not fit inside the slender brass barrel of this pen.
