The Pilot CON-70N is a high-capacity, push-button ink converter designed for smooth and efficient refilling of select Pilot fountain pens, offering a 1.1ml ink capacity and compatibility with premium models like the Kakuno, Falcon, and Custom Heritage series. It provides a seamless writing experience by enabling users to draw ink directly from bottles, significantly expanding colour and formulation options beyond standard cartridges. Features• High Ink Capacity: Holds up to 1.1ml of ink, nearly double that of the CON-40 rotary converter, reducing refill frequency and supporting extended writing sessions.• Push-Button Mechanism: Engineered for effortless use—simply immerse the nib and press the button 5–6 times to achieve a full ink draw.• Ink Agitator Design: Integrated internal agitator prevents ink sedimentation, ensuring consistent flow and performance, especially with pigment or shimmer inks.• Premium Build Quality: Manufactured in Japan with durable materials; users note improved mechanical smoothness and tighter tolerances in the updated CON-70N model. CompatibilityThe converter is specifically designed for larger Pilot fountain pens with sufficient barrel space. Verified compatible models include:Entry-Level: KakunoMid-Range: Explorer, Falcon, Justus 95High-End: Custom 74, Custom Heritage series, Namiki models It does not fit smaller pens like the Metropolitan or Capless, which require the CON-40 converter. Usage TipsFor optimal performance:• Submerge the entire nib and feed below the ink surface before pressing the button to avoid air bubbles.• Perform 5–6 firm, full presses to achieve maximum fill; incomplete strokes can reduce capacity.• Clean thoroughly with water when switching inks, as the internal mechanism can retain residue. While highly praised for its capacity and ease of use, the CON-70N is less ideal for frequent ink changers due to its larger volume and more involved cleaning process compared to the CON-40. However, for users prioritising uninterrupted writing and deeper ink selection, it remains Pilot’s most advanced converter option.
