I bought this pen and I love it, but I can't seem to get the ink to flow (did buy Jinhao ink cartridge for compatibility).

No I have tried to return it but the company did not respond. It was a waste of my money. I am going to continue to get my money back.

Melanie, I would google or you tube how to get a better ink flow.. I haven't used a cartridge for mine. Sorry I wasn't more of help. :-) good luck.

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.

I bought pen like this and had no problem with it. I have used international cartridges from Waterman. You could try to boil water and pour over the point.

Mine came with a converter. I soaked, cleaned the pen throughly before I filled it with Noodlers' Bulletproof Black. It wrote without skipping but the flow wasn't great and nib itself is scratchy. I tried Noodlers' Eel Blue which has a lubricant in it and got much better results. If you use a cartridge, squeeze it a bit to start the ink flow and/or run the nib under a stream of running water and wick with a paper towel.My best advice is to use an ink (Pilot or Noodlers Eel ink) that's free flowing and has a lubricant, if you really like this pen.

Take the point and place ii in warm water with a bit of oil and leave it there for the night. Clean it next day fill your cartridge and turn the lever so the ink will flow to the point. From then on you should have no trouble.

When I purchased this brand the reviews says that it may take a few tries to get it to work. I had a cartridge that did not work, and I removed it and put in back in and it worked.If that does not work I would contact the seller for a solution. Hopefully, this works. :)

I don't buy cartridges. I'd use the refillable cartridge that came with the pen. I use Noodler'd ink to refill mine. Writes very well. It's all in the ink.

Have you placed the pen tip in the pen. Place the pen with the spring upward then place the pen cylinder in and that should work.:) I hope that this helps you.

I use my own jar as well. Take the pen apart and inside is a clear cartridge looking thing. Make sure it is securely in the pen, just push down on it and if it doesn't move, should be fine. The thing at the top spins which makes a plunger lower and raise, spin the plunger all the way down. Dip the pen in the ink, I dip the entire head of the pen in, and then spin the plunger the opposite way so it raises. It should then suck the ink into the cartridge. My pen takes me 3 or 4 tries before it fills a decent amount, it does not fill it 100%, most I've got was half full.

No. I've tried them in Pelikan, Pilot, Waterman, Waterford, MB, and some Japanese pens and am not able to get them to work. There is a variety of ink cartridges on Amazon (sold by Amazon) for pens from various countries. If I knew the make of pen I might suggest a specific brand of cartridges. In lieu of this, stick to the pen brand for cartridges. You might be able to get the Jinhoa cartridges to work, but I prefer the easy fit of more typical cartridge for my instruments. The ole story, a $0.20 cartridge to mess up the feed on a $600 pen... I'm a 40 year collector. Beth's advice rings good with me, especially the cleaning portion.

The Infiniter I bought was given as a Christmas gift. I contacted the gift recipient and he says his is still working. I think you might have to take it to a pen store and compare (maybe try) different brands. Where I live there aren't a lot of pen stores (about 3) but maybe a stationery store will have the same thing.

Hello There : You need buy a small ink tank refill and put inside of the Fountain pen, It brings empty one; Thanks.

I have not tried this, but I would say no. The fountain pen part seems completely inseparable. You can replace the ink cartridges though and it is my favorite fountain pen because it doesn't seem to skip like others do until the very end of the ink. You might want to try searching for a rollerball version though, cause they make highlighters like this so they might also have a rollerball version?

If you store it in the upright position, and make sure you have enough ink it should be ok. I've not used mine for a month before and it writes without issues. You might need to remove the ink and run the nib under water to clean it out. Let it dry and try again. I use the ink cartridges and they seem to work well.

I suppose this is due to an excess ink in the converter. You can turn the nob to draw ink, in this case air, and it will leave the feed a little drier. If not, check alignment of nib and feed, maybe is offset at the base? Hope this was useful.

try taking the cartridge out of the printer and wipe the edge where the ink comes out with a damp tissue to get the ink flowing again; I have this problem with the color cartridge

I have the same problem. After it sits for a while the initial strokes are dry. The ink will eventually flow.

This probably sounds silly, but did you place the cartridge in the slot with the snap in front as seen in the picture of the cartridge? If so, be sure to push it in so that it clicks. If I remember correctly, the snap "pulls" forward and makes a clicking sound. Also, be sure the ink is facing down in the slot, being careful to keep it off your hands.

Contact Wacom, they have incredible customer service. My pen has worked absolutely fine since I received it.

I buy my ink from Zeller Writing Co, and use Herbin Lierre Sauvage, and Herbin Eclat de Saphir. http://www.zellerwritingcompany.com/j_herbin_bottled_ink_s/1829.htmThis particular pen looks nice but it does not write as smoothly as another pen I have - nib design is different and the ink flow on this one is not as good. The ink itself is fine and good quality.

Use a pen that is fine, and delivers ink slowly. BIC rollerballs are too heavy, and wide nibbed fountain pens are too inky; they'll bleed right through. I use a fine nibbed fountain pen for mine! Perhaps that or a fine felt-tip.
