Finding the right refill or replacement converter for your fountain pen probably isn’t that big of a deal, for those of us who are experienced, anyway. But, for some who have just bought their first fountain pen (or just any pen in general) finding that proprietary cartridge or converter might be a bit of a problem. That’s where RefillFinder.com comes in. Using their Refill Finder “App” on their webpage is the easiest way to find the proper refill for ANY pen, whether you only have the pen or the refill for reference. I’ll go through a quick demo to show you how easy it is.
To get started, simply click a picture. Let's start with "You have an Empty Pen"...
Let's go with "Your Pen has a Removeable Cap"...
Click "Your Pen has a Fountain Pen Nib". (Yes, it's seriously this easy)
Selecting the "Built-in Filling System" will take to the bottled inks. Lets select the image on the left.
A page loads that gives a great description of the cartridge/converter and then lists all the proprietary refills available. This shot only contains a small amount of what's available.
The folks at Goldspot Pens have done an amazing job at creating this site. It’s so easy to quickly find the correct refill for whatever kind of pen you own, be it a ballpoint, rollerball, or fountain pen. Pictures of refills are of great quality and details given on each refill help you make sure you have the right one. People will probably use this site and not think about how well it’s done because it’s simply done so well. That’s how I know this site is awesome. Because it just works. You don’t run into any little annoyances. It works exactly as you would expect it to work, and that takes a lot of planning and work to accomplish. Thank you Goldspot for creating such a great tool! Now, head over to RefillFinder.com to try it for yourself and check out their blog post for more info.
