Lamy Z24 Ink Cartridge Convertor

A Lamy fountain pen converter is such a simple little device but functional and of enormous practical value to any user of the delightful smooth Lamy Safari fountain pen, which is such a pleasure to write-with that I have many of them (each for different coloured inks that I often like to use). [Colour-dedicated multiplicity of writing instruments saves faffing-about, and turning the air blue (or indeed blue-black) with bad language, while cleaning out the old colour before changing inks. Always a fiddly process, for which one is ever too busy.] Without this cleverly designed device, one is stuck with the dratted inconvenience of ink cartridges (whose inventor must go down in the annals of customer disservice - or should it be anals?). Cartridges always run out at just the most inconvenient moment. And one is also starved of the great economy and functional joy of the old fashioned ink bottle. A writer is oddly happiest with ink-stained fingers !

Perfect fit for the Lamy pen. Good value for money. Arev

Fits my pen and is easy to fill with ink. Easy to see the level of ink too.

Genuine item? does work fine, cheaper than cartridges in the longer term. Genuine? was just the item sellotaped inside a plain carboard box? seesm to work fine. Should work out better in the longer term for ink cost.

There is something immensely satisfying about filling your pen from an ink bottle. I'm transported back to school days where writing started with an ink pot, blotting paper and a pen with a clip in nib. Promotion to being allowed a fountain pen with ink reservoir was a big thing - a milestone in a 7 year olds life. This Lamy Convertor does exactly what it says it does - converts your Lamy to be able to use any one of the myriad colours of bottled inks out there, with no fuss and little mess. Yes, if you're careless, you'll need a tissue or cloth to wipe the pen clear of any excess ink, but that's a moment of a second or two and by keeping the tissue in the ink box, it'll be there for next time. In return, you can empty your pen for a colour change, play around with inks to make your own tint, and have an excellent reason for a 2 minute time out when someones boring the hell out of you. Watch their face whilst you refill your pen, they're irritated but fascinated at the same time. Excellent fun. Go for it - you'll be pleased you did!

Durable and easy to use. Fits easily in the pen

This is a great product that saves you having to buy refills. The device is well made and works with ease. The action works by twisting the top which then allows the ink to be soaked up when the tip is placed in an ink pot. Not only is this incredibly simple but it also means that the ink can be picked up with no mess at all unlike other converters I've tried in the past. The cartridge fits neatly into my LAMY pen and though it might seem a bit trivial, I also liked the feature of the convertor matching the colour of my pen. Great value for money for an ink converter that works simply and effectively.

The converter was easy to fill and fit. I didn’t find it too difficult to fill it with ink, but it all depends on ones dexterity. I haven’t had this converter long in order to determine how long the ink will last, but overall it does work out better in the long run.

The best fountain pen I ever had. I've used my Lamy Safari pen and converter combination for almost two years now. I'm a real user. I'm a doctor who works at a paper-based hospital and every day I use this pen a lot, to scribble a ton of stuff. Probably 20+ pages worth of stuff each day. Drug prescriptions, clinical notes, orders, requisitions. It writes absolutely amazingly marvellously. My handwriting, which was good to begin with, has improved significantly since I used this pen. Hand fatigue, which was a huge problem for me, is now gone. Nurses, clerks, patients and other doctors gush over my handwriting. The Lamy black ink is rich and flows smoothly. It never clogs my pen even when I leave it running dry for days. I have dropped this pen at least 100 times, sometimes on its nib. I have refilled it at least 100 times. It still works perfectly, and seems to get better with age. Highly, highly recommended. You will not regret your purchase. Trust me, I'm a real user. Don't listen to critics on YouTube who complain about this pen's nib "inconsistency" and talk about why other pens are better... These folks don't actually need to write anything and the only thing they use their pens for is to repeatedly draw bubbles and write the names of their pens with expensive ink on expensive pieces of paper. Listen to me, a real power user. The only problem with this pen is that, the converter has a ridiculously small capacity. It would run out of ink every 3 days which is a huge hassle. So, if you don't write a lot of stuff, the Lamy Safari and converter combination is perfect for you. If you write a ton of stuff, better get something with a bigger capacity, like a Twsbi Eco, which I also bought and like. The problem with that model is the twist cap, which is a chore to use when you need to use your pen 50 times a day. As for me, as long as this kit works, I'm not buying anything else, don't need to buy anything else.

These work great

The converter works with a lot of Lamy pens and is very easy to refill ink with.

Fits perfectly, NO leaks and the flow of ink is smooth to the last...

Aunque prefiero plumas con sistemas de carga fiables y de buena capacidad, particularmente de pistón, a veces adquiero o recibo como regalo algunas que utilizan cartuchos de tinta. Si utilizo alguna de estas plumas con cierta frecuencia, prefiero adquirir un convertidor para poder seguir usando las tintas que me gustan. El convertidor Z24, es especifico para algunos modelos de Lamy, como Safari o Al-Star, ya que en el cuerpo tiene unos pequeños salientes cilíndricos, diametralmente opuestos (ver imagen 1), y que encajan en unas muescas correspondientes que tienen dichos modelos (ver imagen 2) y que ayudan, de una parte a que el cartucho no gire en el cuerpo del alimentador. y de otra, que sea mas dificil que pueda salirse, al quedar ambos salientes retenidos a presión en su lugar.
