I'm a big fan of Sheaffer pens and really enjoyed your video. I have quite a few Imperials and use the Sheaffer cartridges and converters in them. The Sheaffer cartridges are just cylinders and the pen is made so you can drop a cartridge in the body and when you screw it down, it will pierce the cartridge and the pressure from the body holds it in place. I hope that makes sense. Keep up the great work!
I didn't realize that! Lamy does the same, and it's a nice feature to have. Are you using modern screw-type converters on your Imperials? Mine doesn't fit the Lifetime, but maybe the other versions are wider.
While it can accommodate international short cartridges, it is primarily designed for use with Sheaffer cartridges. Some models can use the hard-to-find push-button converter. The common, still-in-production Sheaffer converter doesn’t fit. 10:35 There’s no need to worry; the Sheaffer cartridge is securely pressed at both ends and won’t come loose. There is absolutely no space for it to dislodge itself.
Thanks for the information! I haven't experienced the cartridge getting loose, I just prefer having a collar around it to provide some extra support. My Stylist came with the push-button converter, I've considered using it but tend not to as I am a stickler for being able to check my ink level. ruclips.net/video/C43LGQW6bHI/видео.html
These are nice pens and I love the inlaid nib. I have a Sheaffer Imperial II Touchdown with the conical nib. They write well. Sadly the white dot on Sheaffer pens is virtually meaningless. It used to mean a Lifetime warranty, now pretty much every Sheaffer pen has the white dot and their warranty is a two year limited warranty.

Glad you like it! It is a shame they changed the white dot meaning over the years.
