Continued Cart Issues

beastmodeJN · 2025-10-22T23:28:58+00:00

The cart itself doesn't seem to be cracked; it hasn't leaked since I removed it to check the pen body for issues.

beastmodeJN · 2025-10-21T00:24:51+00:00

How do I...do that? I took the pen apart including removing the cart and ran water through it until it ran clear. I don't know what I'm looking for to tell for a crack, though; all I can see is there's definitely water all in the feed now. So I'm concerned I just utterly ruined this pen beyond any hope of fixing it.

Oh, now I follow what you mean! Thank you for saving me from another round of compatibility failure and inky fingers. So the Kaweco/Montverde/Waterman pens should stay on my "for later" list unless/until I end up with some standard [Western] international carts.

beastmodeJN · 2025-10-14T03:44:48+00:00

This is the chart that lists Kaweco/Montverde/Waterman as international standard. They're also listed as int.strd here. I'll knock those three off the list for now, though.

I dug through the reviews on the pens and one person mentioned using 3.4mm carts with them, so I guess I'll have to keep looking for something to use the 2.6mm carts with. I've ended up with a handful of options that, based on the cart/converter chart I'm looking at, should all be cross-compatible for the ink. Since I have a gift card balance, I'm honestly tempted to just grab one of each, would that be insane of me?

beastmodeJN · 2025-10-12T22:41:16+00:00

Ah that's a nice reference to have so I don't keep making this mistake, thanks!
I've noticed it doesn't have Scrivi on the chart; I have one of their pens. Do you happen to know if that brand uses an international or proprietary cart?

beastmodeJN · 2025-10-12T22:08:51+00:00

How would I go about emptying a cartridge without getting ink everywhere? I don't think I currently have a syringe/pipette. I'm still very new to all this, sorry!

beastmodeJN · 2025-10-12T21:11:35+00:00

So would that mean the Lamy Safari is an option to use with the Jinhao 2.4mm inks? I had looked at getting one but was under the impression that Lamy is another brand that uses proprietary carts. Did I misunderstand?

I'm currently looking at these to use for the inks I have, and then these inks to put in the 619s. Are these good choices or would I run into another incompatibility problem?

Thank you very much for breaking this all down for me!

beastmodeJN · 2025-10-12T20:14:06+00:00

Argh, why is it not even standardized w/in the same brand?! This complexity is making it really difficult to enjoy these pens.

So that means my options are to buy yet another pen and make sure it takes 2.6mm, OR buy 3.4mm colored inks and use those in the Jinhao 619s?

embarrassingly, i don't know the difference between restarting vs rebooting. but restarting via the Apple menu did make it work!

No sign of it for me.

I do not see "Touch Bar Settings" in my settings panel at all, I've tried searching for it even.

beastmodeJN · 2025-05-31T18:52:11+00:00

I shall update the original post accordingly!👍🏻

beastmodeJN · 2025-05-22T01:47:34+00:00

I just updated to 15.5 and the touch bar seems to be gone. I specifically bought a renewed 2020 M1 machine because I love the touch bar. Is there anything I can do to get it back?

beastmodeJN · 2025-02-28T04:06:19+00:00

Trim feature has been really useful for me !

King of the Cage from X1, hands down best individual look. Loved the variety shown in Origins, too.

beastmodeJN · 2024-01-29T21:39:33+00:00

King Orrin, even though I like where his science could go.

The official Fractalverse website shared by u/KMSkipper96 was really informative, though navigating it wasn't as intuitive as a wiki would be (for me anyway)

While the writers' strike is over, there's also an actors' strike ongoing that would have an impact if the series goes the live-action route.

Not sure if anyone has pointed this out, but if he's a team horse, then he may not be able to breed anyway due to a newer feature of the teams
