I just noticed that all the carts that came in the package with my Pelakano are only a 1/4 full. Even the one in the pen.
Is this normal?

I've never had a pelakano before Bill, not sure how they come
But with a syringe and some bottle ink you can fill the carts up with whatever you like after some flushing

Yeah, it's a cheapo as far as pens go, writes nice, but I thnks I got the shaft on the ink qty.
As difficult as it seems to comprehend, the ink will evaporate from sealed cartridges. A common occurrence with old ones, I have some Watermans that have been going empty. Are they from a new pen or an older NOS batch?
If you use them, the dyes will be concentrated, you should dilute.

The plastic is permeable, so if it sits long enough the ink volume will decrease.
Where did you buy it/them from? Ink evaporates like any other liquid, they could have given you old carts.

Came off the bay, I've bought so much stuff that my head is still spinning...
This. I have some old Waterman Florida Blue cartridges that are half full after sitting for years.
That was the case with the Pen (Senator) I got recently .. but I thought that was because it was just a sample that was in the pen. The separate ones that I got in a box of 6 were all full.
