Looks like Pelikan is farming out their production to the Chinese company

Pelikan itself says that the most suitable ink for their pen is their "4001" ....but I don't like blue 4001- Is there some deep blue, Pelikan-friendly ink? Shhh... don't let the pen hear you. No, there isn't. You must learn to like Pelikan ink. If you don't, you shouldn't have bought the pen. See the warnings that came with your new Pelikan pen: "Use only Pelikan ink or the pen can spontaneously combust. Also, using any other brand ink voids the warranty. Other inks can gum up the entire inner workings of the Pelikan. It's a fussy pen prone to outbursts. Do not yell at your Pelikan. Do not taunt or tease your Pelikan. If pen starts to glow - discontinue use, duck and run for cover. Your Pelikan pen was made from an unknown substance that fell to earth in a meteor. Enjoy your new Pelikan pen." Nancy |

Never use any thing but Pelikan ink in a Pelikan pen. I once tried Parker
ink and my pen leaked ink all over my jacket. My friend once used Omas red ink in his Pelikan M800, he received a very nasty letter from Charpak. His warranty was cancelled!!!! Beware...

Of course the mere fact that such a letter is illegal under federal law would not matter. Any third party ink can be used in any devise using ink (or toner) and this in no way is allowed to void a warantee unless the manufactuer can prove beyond any doubt the third party ink damaged the device to the extent that repairs are needed that would otherwise not have been required with their own ink. It is totally ILLEGAL for any company to require that you use their own make of ink or refills. This applies to pens, printers, duplicators, copiers, and so on. No matter what brand of ink you put in a pen the warantee still applies unless you are stupid enough to put non-fountain pen ink in your pen. In other words, fill your pen with copier toner, and you are really on your own. And plain nuts too. FD |

still more--
from inksite.com Consumers are often told by printer dealers' sales or service personnel that competitive brands of ink cannot be used in the consumer's printer during the warranty period. The claim is made that the use of competitive brand inks will "void the warranty," with the statement or implication that only the original equipment brand of ink may be used. This, of course, tends to cast doubt as to the quality of the replacement ink. That claim is not true. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act and general principles of the Federal Trade Commission Act, a manufacturer may not require the use of any brand of ink (or any other article) unless the manufacturer provides the item free of charge under the terms of the warranty. So, if you are told that only the original equipment ink will not void the warranty, you should request that the original equipment ink be supplied free of charge. If you are charged for the manufacturer's brand of ink, this may be a violation of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act or other applicable law. |
