Does anyone know if the Parker Quink cartridges are compatible with the standard international ones? Are they a suitable upgrade?
Thanks for the response, Louie. A prior customer asked me the question. I had sold her a Supreme Vertex FP and she bought the Parker cartridges. Hopefully she will be able to return them.Parker uses proprietary cartridges that are not interchangeable with standard international cartridges.
However, Parker cartridges/converters will fit in Aurora pens.
Reading between the lines of the question, are you looking for standard international short fountain pen cartridges that are 'better' than the generic cartridges supplied with pen kits? If so, brands such as Diamine, Private Reserve, Pelikan, Monteverde, Kaweko, and DeAtramentis are good. There are a number of outstanding on-line vendors - my favorite is Goulet Pen Company.
There are also standard international long cartridges, but they are harder to find, and generally don't fit kit pens.
