Perhaps you have an Ecridor fountain pen, inherited from a relative. Or you received an 849 ballpoint as a birthday gift. Holding a Caran d'Ache pen in your hand is a distinctive experience, and - fortunately - one that can be repeated for generations. Our ink refills and cartridges extend the life of your favourite writing instrument, for continued comfort with every line.
Write. Refill. Write again.
Good news: most Caran d'Ache writing instruments are refillable. We supply ink refills for our entire collection, from the legendary Ecridor to the elegant Léman pen, as well as our prestigious limited editions.
For fountain pens, we offer 12 luminous ink colours, available in two formats:
- Chromatics cartridges : sold in sets of 6 standard (short) international size cartridges that are practical and easy to use, and
- Chromatics inkwells: the hexagonal prism design of the inkwell - emblematic of Caran d'Ache - transforms fountain-pen writing into an even more exceptional experience.
For your favourite ballpoint pen, Goliath ink cartridges are the benchmark for biro refills. Each cartridge has enough ink for writing up to 600 A4 pages. The cartridges are available in 6 colours (black, blue, green, red, violet and turquoise) and several tip sizes.
Goliath refills are also the benchmark for rollerball pens. Goliath rollerball cartridges are an iconic product of Caran d'Ache. They come with steel or fibre tips and are available in 2 colours: black and blue.
The mechanical pencil is a trusty go-to for taking notes or sketching. To keep it well-stocked, Caran d'Ache offers boxes of 12 certified Swiss Made graphite leads, available in H and HB hardness.
