	A patent for an ink cartridge system for fountain pens was filed in 1890. In the early 20th century, cartridges made from glass and thin copper tubing were made. However, the concept only became successful and popular after the introduction of moulded plastic cartridges, firstly by Waterman in 1953.<ref>{{cite web\|url=http://www.vintagepens.com/early_cartridge_pens.shtm \|title=Early Cartridge Pens \|website=Vintage Pens \|accessdate=20 May 2014 \|author=Nishimura, David ~~}}{{dead link\|date=January 2017 \|bot=InternetArchiveBot \|fix-attempted=yes~~ }}</ref>		A patent for an ink cartridge system for fountain pens was filed in 1890.

	Modern plastic cartridges can contain small ridges on the inside to promote free movement of the contained ink and ink/air exchange during writing. Often cartridges are closed with a small ball that gets pressed into the cartridge during insertion into the pen. This ball also aids free movement of the contained ink.
