i'm gonna buy my very first fountain pen off the internet cause i cant find any around my town.
I'm gonna buy either Parker's or LAMY's.
my question is,i noe parker is a name brand, but is LAMY a name brand too? or is it not?
and if i buy either one of them, can i use an other company for the pen? like for an example, if i buy a LAMY fountain pen, can i use parker's ink for it? Or wat if i buy a parker fountain pen, can i use a waterman ink? cause i heard from some ppl and saw in the internet that u cant cause they're made differently from other companies or something and could actually break/ruin the pen by thick gunk of ink clamped together blocked at the entrace of the nip... or is this just a lie? can i use any brand? remember, i'm talking about converters, not cartridges...
oh and what's the difference between cartridges, converters and piston pens?
I don't know about LAMY pens, but I have always used Parker. Any fountain pen ink works if it is bottled ink. Some fountain pens come with the ink inside cartridges that fit into the pen...in that case you need to replace the cartridges with the same kind but they can be any color.
