Pilot Capless Fountain Pen, Medium Nib, Retractable Design, Smooth Ink Flow, Ideal for Office & Personal Collection Use,Black Accents – Dark Grey

It is converter-ready and supports both Pilot cartridge ink and the CON-40 converter for bottle ink. This gives you flexible ink options and stable, even ink flow.

If you’re using a cartridge, simply insert a compatible Pilot cartridge into the grip end. If you prefer bottle ink, attach the CON-40 converter and fill from a bottle, then install the converter into the pen body. Extend the nib to write before use, and recap after you’re done if you’re storing it in a pocket or bag.

Its dark grey body with black accents offers a sleek, monochrome look suitable for formal settings. The retractable nib reduces drying and ink leaks, while the smooth ink flow supports clean signatures and legible notes on forms and documents.

Key specs include a medium nib, a dark grey body with black accents, a converter-ready system (CON-40 compatible), and a retractable nib for quick, capless writing. It’s designed for stable ink delivery and a refined monochrome aesthetic.

Flushing the nib and feed with clean water every few weeks helps prevent ink buildup. If using a CON-40 converter, flush the converter when changing ink colors. Wipe the nib and grip area to keep them clean, and avoid exposing the pen to extreme temperatures or prolonged ink exposure without use to reduce drying.

Both are capless designs with retractable nibs, but the Capless Fountain Pen emphasizes a traditional fountain nib experience with smooth ink flow and converter compatibility, while the Vanishing Point variant focuses on a more classic, all-metal look and known nib feel.

Yes. It uses standard fountain pen inks that are generally safe for everyday use. Always follow ink manufacturer guidelines and avoid ingesting ink. The nib design minimizes leakage and drying with regular use, making it reliable for documents and signatures.

You get a retractable fountain pen with a medium nib, converter-ready ink system, and a sleek monochrome design that suits both office and personal use. Its ability to use cartridges or a bottle ink converter provides flexibility, while the capless design reduces carrying marks and drying.

Store nibs retracted when not in use to minimize ink evaporation. Keep the pen away from direct sunlight and extreme heat. Regularly clean the nib/feed with water, flush converters when changing inks, and ensure the nib is fully extended before writing to prevent dry starts.
