Is the cartridge coming with Preppy really too short to reach the back of the barrel? Never seen that in a fountain pen and looks unnecessarily risky design. I am wondering if the vendor sent me the wrong cartridge.

    Does it look like the cartridge around pic 7 of this listing? That looks to fill the barrel pretty well, but Platinum has been known to sell adapters to make international short carts work. That said, a decently made pen should be fine with the friction fit between the cart and feed/section assembly. Think of all the pens that have room for two short carts, and what would happen if someone threw away their empty and didn’t replace it.
