Pen newbie question:

I have a MB FP now (pix later tonight!). It came with the little plastic cartridges. Can a piston converter be used on it, or do those only work with certain models?

I assume the advantage is less cost per ink and a greater variety of colors?

Congrats on scoring the FP.

Regarding the convertors:
1. they are called cartridge convertors, they are usually double the length of the cartridges and a little wider in diameter.
2. whether the convertors can be used is 100% dependent on the size/length of the barrel. I believe that for shorter pens such as the Boehme range, some of the pens are cartridge only. I do know that the Chopin (or 144 or "classic") is convertor friendly.
3. One can still recycle old cartridge shells and feed ink into them using a syringe with blunt needles.
