Is the nib replaceable?

Technically, yes. In fact you can swap the italic nib from a Pilot Plumix onto a Metropolitan, if you wanted. However, the nibs aren't sold separately (though you may be able to find used nibs).

I personally haven't changed the nibs on mine because I like the nice medium nib which is somewhat finer than a US Medium nib. I understand that you can exchange nibs between the Pilot Preppy and the Pilot Prera pen with the Pilot Metropolitan pen nibs. If you try it, please let me know how it goes.

I dropped my Metropolitan pen and the nib snapped in two. I checked the website, tried their chat customer service, and waited on hold to talk to a customer service rep who was pleasant and promised to email me info on replacement nibs. Her promises are yet to be kept, and there seem to be nary a nib on the market to make things right. There are high end replacement parts that are more expensive than the pen, so it seems this is a buy until it dies kind or item.

It is the exact same thing as the one with the UV light and pen on the other end. However, it doesn't come with any additional nibs, but IS compatible with them.

Yes.. You simply pull the top and bottom apart. That exposes the pencil and pen cartridges for very simple replacement. I've had this pen for 7 years and it's the only thing I carry. Only negative is the eraser is kind of small but I always carry a mechanical pencil to erase stuff. I give these pens out as gifts all the time and people absolutely LOVE THEM!! You'll be completely satisfied!

It should. The replacement nibs are in the stand. The stand will unscrew and you will see the nibs. When I purchased mine, this was the case.

Yes, you can. We have extra nibs in stock ready for purchase in both black nibs and steel (chrome) nibs. Black comes in EF, Fine, Medium and Broad. Steel comes in EF, Fine, Medium, Broad, 1.1 Caligraphy and 1.5 Caligraphy sizes. Regards, Pen Chalet

turn the silver-colored piece immediately behind the nib and it should unscrew. Worked fine for me.

I'm pretty sure the nib you get is the nib you get - no interchangeability.

The nib is part of the internal ink system so it's not directly attached to the pen, it is removable. The hole the nib extends from is larger than the nib itself so it should be possible to up a nib side but I haven't tried it, I'm happy with the fine point.

Please check with the seller. The EF nib is available on this model but be aware that it is razor fine. EF is usually F with other models. Good luck!

No. They are for the tip on the cap of the pen only. The other tip is smaller and fixed. It cannot be replaced.

While I don't have the Intuos Pro, I do believe they will work for it. I checked out the Wacom site for the Intuos Pro and it seems to accept standard replacement nibs.

It comes with a standard medium nib, which in my opinion is a little bold. But you can easily replace it with a fine tip if you wanted.

Yes but the nib is actually one part and includes the part where you put the cartridge in. I think I looked at them a while back and they aren't cheap so look at the pricing.

The cartridges are sold separately. The converter and the nib are connected, but I think the nib can be unscrewed if need-be.

When mine broke in a move, I was able to get one, but that was back in 2002. These are tough to find now, since Krups stopped making them, and no one seems to make a universal replacement in the 8-cup size. Your best bet is to look for NIB products on eBay. Include "985" in your search, to make sure you're getting the right model number.

The ink could be replaced. I don't know if the rubber tip could be replaced because it has a hole in the middle where the tip of the ink pen comes through. They're great pens, especially for the price. They write very well.

In the Vanishing Point, the nib and cartridge are attached. You just have to buy a size fine (which is "very" fine in Japanese pens I believe), and unscrew the pen and just replace the entire mechanism. If you look it up on google you will see. Great pen!
