Private Reserve Maxis

[Mr Vic]

Has any one tried the new Private Reserve Maxis? I'm, curious as to the length difference between them and the standard International Cartridges. I'd hate to buy a bunch and find they don't fit the stye of fountain pens i have and make.

Thanks for any info...

I don't have an answer for you, but I hope someone does...I have been wondering the same thing. Maybe ed4copies can help us out?

If your fountain pen will take a full size schmidt converter, it will take the PR carts.

Love the maxis - they are the only cartridges I use. I use them in my custom kitless FPs and in kit FPs

I use the Maxis for all of my pens. They have about 2 1/2 times the ink a standard cartridge has.

Alan, any chance you could measure one for me? I'd really appreciate it....

Is it shorter or equal in length? I don't have one available to measure right now. On my to order list.

I've had the Schmidt's push out the opposite end when screwing in the nib section. The end section can sometimes be drilled out to accomidate the difference. But the end of a cartdrige is a fair bit bigger the the converter twist knob and the mod might take out too much.

I'm pretty sure it will work in any FP kit.
