Last ditch effort to 'save' my Sailor Pro Gear.

I've been disappointed in my Sailor Pro Gear since its purchase. I sent it to a nib meister to see if he could help the medium-fine nib's line look, feel, and sound like something better than a No. 3 pencil's scratch. Nope. I replaced the converter. It came apart after a couple of refills using inks of differing viscosities. Nope. Final try, official Sailor ink cartridges with the darkest black ink available from the brand. Nope. Pen-to-trash. A $300+ lesson in disappointment and frustration and a box of proprietary cartridges for a brand of pen I'll never purchase again.

It’s not as waterproof as reviews led me to believe. Flows nicely, though.

Best Ink for Bad Paper

In my experience Sailor Kiwaguro is the best ink I've used on bad paper. Certainly better than Noodler's X-Feather and slightly better than Platinum Carbon Black. I use it as my daily carry and as such it's handy to have cartridges. Unfortunately that means that I have to carry a Sailor pen which tend to be expensive, but so far I haven't lost an EDC pen.

FAQ about Ink Cartridges

What fountain pens are compatible with ink cartridges? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

There are two main groups of ink cartridges: standard international (available in short and long sizes), and proprietary (which only fit that particular brand). You can read which cartridges fit a given fountain pen in that pen's product description or Tech Specs.
