3. Benu Fountain Pen Refills
All Benu fountain pens use short international standard size ink cartridges, which are available from many brands, including:
- Diamine
- Kaweco

They can also use an ink converter that allows the fountain pen to use bottled ink with many more colors to choose from.
If your Benu fountain pen does not have an ink converter, you can use a Schmidt K5 ink converter.
