There are a few Jinhao pens that can "post" the cap. This one is so-so. You can post it, but it will want to wriggle loose as you write. Unposted, the pen is still long enough to be comfortable (and I have big hands). For truly postable Jinhao pens, look for this sort of style... http://www.amazon.com/Vintage-Silver-Copper-Fountain-Converter/dp/B00549BV0K/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1391445833&sr=8-7&keywords=jinhao+fountain+pen With some of them, the cap can even be screwed on posted, so they'll never come loose.

I ordered the Jinhao ink cartridges for this pen. Unscrew the part of the pen that has the nib (the writing point). The narrow end of the ink cartridge is what goes toward the nib end. Push it on until the end is punctured, allowing the ink to flow freely. Screw the two pieces of the pen back together. It usually takes a minute for the ink to flow down into the nib, but once it does you are ready to write.

Hello, please search 'Jinhao ink' at Amazon to buy the ink cartridges fit this pen. You can also buy the bottle ink for this pen, just search 'bottle ink' at Amazon. Thanks.

I've only used them for the metropolitan fountain pen. I looked at the specks for the pilot penmanship fountain pen and the ink cartridges might be to big. If you are a first time fountain pen user I would suggest the metropolitan fountain pen for the price it is a great deal. If you are looking for something with a smaller base and a little more feminine appeal try:Elegant Fountain Pen Jinhao 301 Black with Diamond Fine Nib. I own 3 of them, the nib is iridium and ink cartridges are compatible with the popular Shaffer fountain pens for beginners.

I'm not sure of a specific answer, but I do know that when I try to use the pens, they do take a bit of effort to make them write (some don't even seem to work). However, lately I haven't even been using the holder provided.

You can get Jinhao converters on ebay very cheaply, in several different models, but I believe that any standard international converter will fit in these pens. There are quite a few brands that make international converters, just search for the one you want.

Prashant K., While these are the BEST pens I've ever used (I'm an editor and teacher and use pens ALL the time), unfortunately they can NOT be refilled (just disposed of). I buy them anyway---not because I'm rich, but because of the high quality of the pens. They're the best. Sorry for the bad news, but hope this information helps you in making your decision. Sincerely, David Kopp, St. Louis, MO

Mike, I purchased the Waterman Expert pen. To date, I have had no problem with the cap becoming loose. I am completely satisfied with my purchase. Good luck. Regards, Tom J.

I haven't had any experiences with them clumping up, and they write exceptionally smooth. The ink does take a little time to fully dry, but what really good pen doesn't?

I would not recommend capping this pen. The threading you see is actually for the piston fill system of this pen. The pen feels much better balanced in the hand without the cap, as the cap is heavy.

ChristinaThey look like the same cartridge I got for my pen. There was a note with my new pen telling me what cartridge to buy. Black ink ASIN: B00CQF69SO, and Blue ink ASIN: B00CQF7PVE. But then I have the Jinhao 9009. I don't know why they would have a different cartridge for the same Brand pen.Good LuckCharles

There is a "nose-cone" tip that unscrews. ... Just stupid simple ... There is a tension spring but the insert (refill cartridge) does not retract ... It is just covered by the cap. ... The cap (with the ring monunted on it) snaps on (does not screw on) ... I read that some people lost their pen because the cap did not retain the main body of the pen ... I bought it anyway ... I lost mine, within a week ... This is a fairly short pen ... The cartrige does not use the PARKER Compatability extension adapter, that comes with each refill, because this is not a full length pen (but is long enough for normal, comfort and control).

John,For this particular model, the top of the pen needs to be pressed to expose or retract the pen point. Personally, I believe the name of this pen, Cap-O-Matic, is misleading especially when ordering sight unseen, without prior knowledge, and the product description does not specify. Hope this helps you!I have purchased/used numerous Fisher Space pens and they have all been good!

Bk. The regular makers are hard to see when you write with them. But I bought a 4 or 5 pack of nein ones on Amazon at a pretty reasonable price.Hope it helps

Absolutely not! These are very high-quality pens that write with a very fine point with no skipping. The do not leak ink if you leave the cap off.

The cap sort of fits on the top, but its not designed to neatly fit on like many pens. That is called "posting" the cap.
