How do you fill the pen?

You can use pre- filled cartridges or you can use the refillable cartridge that comes with the pen

Hi Scott. The pen comes with a converter. To fill it, you submerge the nib into an ink bottle and twist the knob on the top of the converter. The pen is also cartridge compatible if you'd rather use cartridges instead. I like bottle ink because there are so many more choices available.

To refill the pen it's like replacing the tip, when you remove the tip in the space where the tip goes you can put some acetone throw that little hole.

No, this pen needs filled from a bottle. Filling this pen from the factory would cause a large quantity of problems including leaks during shipping (air pressure changes in Air Transport), and possibly drying out and damaging the mechanism. Pelikan ink is great stuff to use too. I use Pelikan 4001 Royal Blue which is easy to clean up in the even you have an accident and won't ruin your day or your clothes.

The pen is made of a plastic tube. You control the flow by squeezing. No squeezing, no flow.

take the little cap off & add one drop of water to the tube. this should rehydrate the pen. otherwise HOW SHOULD I KNOW??? i bought these pens & mine work fine....i did not invent nor manufacture them. sorry....just had to do that.

no--this pen has its own built-in piston filling system. really easy to use--you just dip the tip in a bottle of good ink (Pelikan ink recommended), turn the barrel section fully in one direction to empty/flush and in the other direction to suck in/fill.

Twist the bottom of the pen counter-clockwise holding the top part still in your hand until it fully retracts Or twist the top which is my favorite, counter clockwise holding bottom still to have pen retract, the opposite to have the ink cartridge to come out. No more marks on your shirt or anywhere else. I also use Fischer Space pen insert BOLD type, writes like a dream!! Have a great one!

Stacey,you can use the piston filler by loading it by putting the piston in the ink bottle then loading it into the pen. I think that works well for me. You can also use cartridges. I use Pelikan ink cartridges. You can buy them on Amazon or look up fountain pens on the internet. I look on Fountain pen hospital and I sell pens.com. Hope this helps.

U put the cartridge in it -the holder -so u can use it as a base to inject the ink into the cartridge and also stops the ink from leaking from the bottom-if your not sure I believe inkjet has it s own video on how to fill them also u-tube has several video s showing u step by step -thier a great help if your not sure how to do it -I watched them -it helped - but once u figure it out u won t believe how easy it is-look at vids .

If you unscrew the pen there is a little filter, it snaps apart from the nib. There is a little switch on the side that you suction the ink inside the filter

The ink reservoir has a plunger that must first be descended by twisting the black endpiece slowly counter clockwise. Then place pen tip into the ink bottle while slowly turning the top piece clockwise. You can practice this with water to get the hang of it. Its less messy. Pelikan 4001 is an ink I've been happy with.

If you are using the disposable cartridge try the following. Open the pen and hold it with the nib down and squeeze the cartridge very gently until you see ink in the nib.

Uh.. same as any mechanical pencil, u push the end of the pen, hold it down, and gently load the new lead into the tip

Cross mini ballpoint pen refills work. Just like Mostlee responded, you just have to take off the black end of the empty one and place it on the new refill.

Just put It into Pen cavity, narrow tip first.The pen will puncture cartridge. Carefully press firmly. Walah! You are done.

I ordered the Jinhao ink cartridges for this pen. Unscrew the part of the pen that has the nib (the writing point). The narrow end of the ink cartridge is what goes toward the nib end. Push it on until the end is punctured, allowing the ink to flow freely. Screw the two pieces of the pen back together. It usually takes a minute for the ink to flow down into the nib, but once it does you are ready to write.

They have a Fountain Pen Ink Converter Refill - Twist Action inside. so you can refill it from an ink bottle.
