Un ami dont le fiston est équipé d'un Waterman Emblème me demande si c'est normal que le stylo ne prenne que des cartouches Waterman. Les cartouches standards, un peu plus grosses ne passent pas.
Avez-vous déjà rencontre ce problème ? Il me semblait que les Waterman étaient tolérants sur les cartouches, non ?

Re: Waterman Emblème: problème de cartouches
D'après ce que j'ai pu lire un peu à droite et à gauche sur la Toile, il semblerait que les standards puissent se casser à l'intérieur du stylo et occasionner des fuites d'encre. À vérifier donc.

There are some important issues to point out.
1 This pen accepts (most) long international cartridges with a narrow end, but will not accept short international cartridges that have a broad end.
2 It does not accept most screw type cartridge converters (including Waterman converters), due to a width restriction inside the barrel. Only the slider types of narrow converters appear to fit.
3 The design of the pen is different to some of the illustrations: the photos show a smooth, tapered nib holder while the pen has a ridged section. This does not affect the use of the pen; it's a cosmetic issue.
4 The cap on the received pen is a flat topped sort, not a slanted Waterman type. This is a cosmetic issue only.
5 The nib is as hard as nails and writes without any character or line variation. A Rollerball is a better option.
6 The nib writes rather dry.
On the plus side: the cap posts, but makes the pen a little top heavy. Also, the barrel has a good weight and overall it handles well.
It appears to be made in France. The box, for those people obsessed with expensive and useless boxes, is quite basic and its cost does not outweigh its uselessness: it's a box not a jewel cabinet.
One tiny plus point is that the pen can be had for less than £20. But the biggest negative point is that this pen not worth any more than £15. A Waterman Hemisphere can be bought for a bit more and is a far, far better pen; even the Allure (a modern looking pen) is a better pen. With the Embleme, Waterman have junked all of the positive aspects of a fountain pen and rendered it usleess, pointless and obsolete. It isn't even as good as a Sheaffer VFM (which itself is a poor pen).
Better pens that accept standard short cartridges and screw type converters - and with far better nibs - are available much more cheaply: for example the Jinhao X750 or X450. Several Hongdian pens are just as well made as the Embleme and accept regular cartridges and adapters ; and they are cheaper.
Not recommended: I bought one and promptly returned it: I cannot think of a single reason for buying this pen.

Re: Waterman Emblème: problème de cartouches
Merci pour ces précisions !
En résumé, c'est cartouches longues, sinon rien !
