Pilot Namiki Fountain Pen Ink Cartridges, Bold Color, Smudge Proof, Quick Dry, Easily Refillable, Ideal for Writing, Black - Pack of 12

IC-50-B cartridges are designed for Pilot-compatible fittings found in supported Pilot and Namiki fountain pens. Compatibility is model-dependent, so confirm that your pen uses the IC-50 style cartridges and fits the short cartridge form before swapping.

The dye-based ink is formulated for quick drying, helping to reduce smears on typical office paper and during note-taking or signing tasks.

To install: 1) Remove the empty cartridge or reset the pen. 2) Insert the IC-50-B cartridge into the feed until you feel it seat or hear a light click. 3) Gently squeeze the cartridge to start ink flow if needed. 4) Allow a moment for the ink to flow to the nib before writing.

The IC-50-B pack is designed for six black cartridges per typical listing, and packs are sized for easy portability in cases or organizers. Some listings may show six cartridges per pack; always verify the listing details for the exact count.

They’re well-suited for everyday writing tasks such as note-taking, drafting forms, writing letters, and signing documents. The quick-drying, smudge-resistant ink helps when you’re writing on standard office papers or travel journals.

Store cartridges in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep them sealed until use. Avoid puncturing or exposing cartridges to extreme temperatures. If ink contacts skin or clothing, wash with soap and water.

Yes. When empty, recycle the plastic cartridge according to your local recycling guidelines. If your local program accepts metal/plastic cartridges, rinse and place it in the appropriate recycle stream.

Tip sheet: 1) Make sure the pen is empty or has a shallow ink reservoir. 2) Hold the pen nib-up and gently insert the cartridge to seat it fully. 3) If ink flow doesn’t start right away, gently squeeze the cartridge to help initiate flow, then write on paper for a moment to prime the nib. 4) Clean any minor ink around the nib or grip area to prevent smudges.
