Lamy Safari Converter or Cartridge?

When you buy your Lamy Safari fountain pen, it will come with one blue ink cartridge, but you can buy a LZ28 converter which works with the Lamy Safari perfectly, so you can fill the fountain pen with bottled ink!

How To Refill and Clean Your Lamy Safari Fountain Pen

Once you receive your new Lamy Safari pens, you may be asking, "how do I refill it with ink?" Well, if you are using ink cartridges, you will want to purchase additional Lamy ink cartridges and unscrew the back half of the pen, and insert it into the pen. If you opted for a fountain pen converter, you will want to fill it like any other fountain pen by using the filling mechanism of the converter. To clean your Lamy Safari fountain pen, you will fill up a small glass of water and use the converter to suck up the water through the nib. Do this a few times to get your fountain pen like new!
