Jacques Herbin Converter for Fountain and Rollerball Pen

Jacques Herbin Converter for Fountain Pen and Rollerball Pen (22200T)

For anyone who has experienced the depth and character of Jacques Herbin bottled ink, the prospect of being limited to cartridges is a small frustration worth solving. This piston converter does exactly that.

A simple, well-made accessory from the Parisian house that has been producing ink since 1670, it opens up the entire Herbin bottled ink range to two of the brand's transparent pen bodies: the pump-action fountain pen (22000T) and the pump-action rollerball (22500T).

The converter itself is a piston-style mechanism housed in clear plastic, approximately 7 cmin length. The transparent barrel is not incidental - it lets you watch the ink level as you write and confirm a clean, complete fill before you begin. To fill it, you submerge the tip in your chosen bottled ink and turn the piston knob to draw ink up into the reservoir. The whole process takes seconds and produces very little mess once you have the technique. It fits into the pen body the same way a standard cartridge does, so there is no adaptation required.

The practical case for a converter is straightforward: bottled ink is more economical than cartridges, it comes in a far wider range of colours, and it produces less plastic waste over time.

For anyone drawn to the Perle des Encres range - Herbin's celebrated jewel-toned inks, produced in France and covering everything from blue-black classics to unusual shades like Lie de Thé, this converter is the most direct route to using them in a Herbin pen.

Jacques Herbin has been supplying inks to writers, artists, and statesmen for over 350 years. The converter reflects the same utilitarian elegance the house brings to its inks: no excess, nothing wasted, and a precise function executed well.
