Hi, I was wondering if any of you fellow moleskiners use fountain pens. If so, can you recommend some brand names for me? I will likely need to buy one on the net. I’m in Australia but as long as the store sells overaseas I don’t mind if they aren’t local.
Thanks in advance for your help!

My Parker Vector (really basic Parker, about £5, but I love it!) is great on my moley. I just use Parker quink cartridges in black. Simple, basic, but brilliant.

thanks, Sophie_vf. in fact, i did not realize i was using different ink in the lamy pens than in all of my other pens – namely the original lamy cartridges! i have just replaced the cartridge in one of them (the one that was by far the worst in drying out, perhaps due to the relatively broad MK nib) with a converter and filled it with my habitual ink and (knock on wood!) it seems to write well now!

I love the Pilot Petit 1. It’s small enough to be cute, but not so small that it’s uncomfortable to hold, and of course it’s refillable. The ink comes in a variety of interesting colors, or you can just get black or blue. The ink flows evenly, and not so thickly that it leaks through to the other side, at least not in my Moleskine. Different paper may have different results. It’s made primarily for the Japanese market but in the States can be found in Japantown stationary stores in most big cities; it’s probably easier to find in Australia.
