Do you need to dip them in ink to get them started?

I recommend using the converter as sort of a "primer" give it a few quick back and forth twists--not so far that ink dribbles out, but just enough that you think it's probably going down into the nib. (If you're using cartridges, a couple quick but firm squeezes of the cartridge has the same effect.) If you're starting from a brand new or dry pen it might take a while and some tapping to get it flowing.

That is a good question. So I stamped a few on some fabric & rubbed it in. Then waited a min & rinsed it off in lukewarm water. It came out right away. I also stamped them on my hand. The ink washes right off. Hope this helps. My granddaughter, who is 4, loves them.

It come with starter ink. I used it for about a month or two then had to put new in.

Barbara...I believe that you refill them from the top of each individual reservoir, after you open the front hatch that exposes them. Remove the filter plug and using something like a syringe, inject the ink into the reservoir. As far as what type of ink, it all depends on what printer you have. Do a google search regarding you printer asking for something like "what ink does the ** printer use?"

That is a good question. I have not continue to mess with them. I found the stem in the fountain pen is weak. Some broke off. I used a small narrow nail to poke the hole but it will not go into the pen. So I am not recommending them for purchase unless they include the proper ink with them. I will revisit them today because you asked. I will get back to when I figure this out. Take care Bill

With the ink kit you will have a disposable syringe (they can be purchased at a pharmacy for 25 cents) for each color. Peel back the HP label on the cartridge and you will see hole where you will inject the ink. Fill the syringe and slowly, very slowly inject the ink. As soon as it looks like the ink is starting to bubble out of the hole, stop. Put the label back on, set the cartridge in a position so the ink will flow to the sponge pad. For the 920 you can dab a wet paper towel (distilled or pure water is best) on the sponge until ink flows. Then you are all set. Remember, less is better than more, and make sure the top label is sealed. You should get ink on the towel which indicates ink is flowing. If not, wait several hours or up to a day. The 920's work very well for this job. Also, if you can, take out your print head and clean it. There are videos on You Tube that show you how to do this. Good luck, hope this helps.

I filled mine by dipping in ink. It should not be a hard start to write. If anything dip in ink or rub a damp paper towel across the nib

Yes you do, however be careful, the ink has a tendency to leak after the refills

Yes, they do have ink in them. If they say XL then there is a lot of ink. If it is a start-up, then the quantity of ink is the same as what comes with a new computer, which is not much ink. (How long they last is based on number of pages printed, so comments they lasted a year mean very little.)

No suggestion for waterproof ink, but, come to think of it, I'd like to know! Any fountain pen with a clean nib _can_ be a dip pen. Lamy has it's own model of "converter" so you definitely don't need cartridges. The converters use the same screw-piston arrangement as most other brands use. Yes, you can refill by hand.

Yes, they're large and refill easily--Just remember to keep the little plastic things you put on the bottom on them for the next refill--- Also, make sure you let the ink saturate the sponge, or it doesn't work too well-

no-but you can still write on them with a sharpie and they don't seem to smear

Yes, if you're adding them to a medium. They're very beautiful to work with. I've blended some in my acrylic paints for varying effects!

I don't think so... I used a regular ink jet and they came out fine. I didn't touch them right away (5-10 minutes) to be safe. I also did some on a laser jet, those were ready to use just about instantly and didn't smudge at all. I had great luck and no smudging with these lables.

Ya, just make sure you let it dry.I takes a long time. I am not a huge fan of dippy pens but I have a set and if youre after a certain line it works. Im drawing "illuminated" letters w this ink. I did a calligraphy wall plaque too.its a hoot.Drives ppl nuts."Why do you have a blank paper on the wall?"

I dont believe you need anything special or different. You manually install them exactly as you would all other ink cartriges that fit in your printer. You just have to follow your printer's normal instructions to change out ink.
