Bertram's Guarantee

If you purchase a pen from Bertram's Inkwell at the suggested retail price, and the manufacturer does not offer a lifetime guarantee, you're covered for life by Bertram's Inkwell. If your pen has a problem, and you are the original owner, we will fix it, or if necessary, replace the pen, provided it is still in production. If it isn't, we will fix it as best we can. All you will pay is a nominal fee to ship the pen to and from the manufacturer.

Can you clear up my confusion about fountain pen ink -

I have read that both NOODLER’S and PRIVATE RESERVE inks can create

problems for a fountain pen - clogging and staining from Noodler’s

and mold from Private Reserve.

A couple of pen dealers have confirmed this, and Fahrney’s (excuse

the name!) says it doesn’t recommend Noodler’s at all.

What is your advice?

Richard
