Who invented the standard international cartridges? I've known them as Pelikan cartridges for 40 years, but did they actually invent them?
- GREAT
...
resource for cartridge history, Richard Binder’s website: Filling System Histories: Cartridge Pens
- Cartridges date back to the 1920’s, very experimental
- Didn’t really catch on until Waterman and Parker latched on to the idea, Waterman really nailed down the process but they were smaller and had less of a presence, Parker seemed to make it a staple in the mid-1960’s in the US
- There wasn’t one international standard that everyone agreed on, companies were all vying for creating their own cartridges
- Pelikan was definitely in the mix in those early days
- There doesn’t appear to be an official ISO listing for ink cartridges, so the term may be more of a marketing term than a true international standard
