Unlock the full potential of your fountain pen with unlimited ink choices. The Pilot CON-40 is a high-quality, rotary-type (piston-screw) converter that allows you to use bottled ink in your favourite Pilot cartridge-style fountain pens. Engineered for precision and ease of use, this converter features a clear reservoir that lets you monitor your ink level at a glance. Inside, it contains four tiny agitator beads that break the surface tension of the ink, ensuring a consistent and reliable flow to the nib even during long writing sessions.
The CON-40 is the standard for Pilot's modern converter lineup, replacing older squeeze and piston models with a more durable and visible design. With a 0.4ml ink capacity, it is perfect for those who enjoy switching ink colours frequently or trying luxury inks like the Iroshizuku series. Its compact size makes it widely compatible across almost the entire Pilot range, from the entry-level Kakuno to professional Custom series pens. Simply insert the converter, submerge the nib in an ink bottle, and twist the end to draw ink directly into your pen—clean, efficient, and eco-friendly.
Compatibility: Most Pilot/Namiki cartridge-converter fountain pens and desk pens (e.g., Kakuno, Metropolitan, Prera, Custom 74, Vanishing Point/Capless). Note: Not compatible with "Double Spare" models or some slim specialty pens.
