Can I use Heart of darkness in the pen I had Noodler's Black in without cleaning the pen first? That is, can they be mixed?

Hi,it should work out okay,there will still be some of the Black ink in the nib. When that ink is used,than the Heart of Darkness will flow in right behind it. Heart of Darkness is a very nice ink,dries fast,and it's a nice shade

Yes, you can do this, but you will not get all of the HOD qualities until all of the previous black has been flushed through by the HOD. If the tamper resistant qualities of HOD are important to you, I would flush the old black out first to ensure you know what you are dealing with.

John This, just the best writer I've ever had, was leaky with the converter and I had to switch to cartridges. I found a converter at http://www.coloradopen.com/product/waterford-kilbarry-edge-fountain-pen/graduation and may try with another so I can mix my ink again.

Yes, I use Noodler's black and Noodler's Lexington Grey all the time. One year, no problems! Good luck and enjoy your pen

That's why you do two Coates of brush ink to make it pure black. While I used this brush it had a slight transparency as if the black was washed out a bit. But once you let it dry and over coat it, it's pure black appearance is great. It's fluent and it is a brush like pen it creates even strokes,depends if you do art or calligraphy like writing.

yes, you can use it but this process will not easily remove the blackheads bec, its only vacumming (cleaning the dusty parts).It may take you several days and if it so deep you will have a hard time. Why not use the one the looks like end of the pen?Do it gwntly.

You can not refill the pen. The bleach compound in them is very special. You can not buy it in any other container. It is thick and creamy and stays put in one place when you use it. And there is no way to open the container to put anything else in it. There are two different tips. One at each end. Very handyfor specific jobs. A small point at one end and a brush type tip at the other. It is well worth it to buy a multipack . You can't live without them once you get started using them. We live where there is a lot of moisture and I use them to get rid of mildew in the small crevices in the bathroom. Never a problem. You can not refill the pen.

I don't think it's possible to clean them and refill the paint. Once a color is used up, you'll have to repurchase it. As for contamination of the tip, like if another color gets on the nib, you can just rub that right off.

I'm using Noodler's Bulletproof Black ink. Writes great, very clear and smooth lines (with the right paper of course, I'm writing in a Piccadilly journal). Any bottled ink/ink cartridges will work. More economical to use bottled ink, and doesn't have to be messy if you're careful.

I tried it and it did work. I used a regular black ink pen. You may have to go over it another time to make sure it's dark enough.

I have learn not to mixed inks. However if the printer has not had any sublimation inks use before, it should be okay. But you should pretty much stay with ant-UV (which really good ink, substitutes are good too, just not as vivid) or stay with the ink your are using. The problem seem to be the mixer with certain colors. With this ink (SO FAR) I haven't had any problems or clogging ~ hope this helps! bless your day!

Hello Thank you for contacting with your question. If you want to use one pen in each hand you, you should be able to do that with no problem. I hope that help answer your question, please contact if you have any other questions. Thank you Aqualyn

The best answer is no, because they are too fine of a point to show up well on black. Your best bet would be pastel pens with a bolder point.

It doesn't come with bottles ink, but it comes with a converter. I use noodlers heart of darkness black, and it's fantastic.

I used a #2 pencil and it did not bleed through; I was not pushing hard on the pencil though. when using a black pen, sometimes you can just see a shadow from the pen.

These appears to be a question for your selected vendor. Caean D'ache makes refills in both color and both are excellent. I own several of their pens and all of them came with black ink.

I think I have heard to use rubbing alcohol...I tried heat...like from a match...dont do that! doesnt work. But seems like the pens that are the ones with japanese writing on them work way better then the ones that do not...I have had no trouble with clogging with them, the others...always!
