Frequently Asked Questions

Will the ink dry out if left unused?

No, the Slip and Seal airtight inner cap prevents the nib from drying out or clogging for over a year of non-use.

Does the pen include ink?

Yes, each pen includes one proprietary Platinum blue-black ink cartridge so you can start writing immediately.

Can I use standard international ink cartridges?

The Prefounte requires proprietary Platinum cartridges; however, standard international cartridges can be used by attaching an authentic Platinum cartridge adapter.

Can this pen be filled with bottled fountain pen ink?
