Yes you can get refills. You can pull the pen part out with a bit of pressure. Unfortunately they are really expensive for what you are getting...basically a cut down pen refill that ought to cost 30 cents. Instead costs like 4 dollars. Aaand, theres a little metal hook dealie on the end of it that is proprietary...plus teh refill itself is thin metal instead of fat plastic tube. Therefore you cannot do it yourself. Still, its not like you are using this pen a whole lot right? It should last for a long long time on its own.

Yes. Our local Victorinox dealer has replacement ink cartridges, which are very inexpensive. I imagine you could Google for them as well to order online.

I would ask a professional ink refilled. All I can say is that using the wrong ink ruined my printer.

No idea but the if the cartridge has a chip, and you cannot reset it, then it's not going to work. My case is even with the refillable Lexmark cartridges, it still refused to work after the refill. Nothing wrong just the printer detected the refill and 'refused' to use it.

How about ink usage? Will it print if one of the colors is out? Or, does it completely shut down and make you buy a new color cartridge before it will print again?Thanks.

if the pen twists, I will bet you can replace the refill with a cross pen refill. Go to OFFICEMAX and a rep will be glad to help you fit the pen. I'm going to purchase the set, but I love blue ink!! Why can't they use blue blue ink????

Yes, you should totally be able to refill pretty much any inkjet cartridges with this kit. Here's a quick youtube search using your model printer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHVQbGCBreA Basically, for all inkjet printer cartridges, you look up where you need to "drill" a small hole on top. That's where the new ink goes in, and then you just cover it up with something. I just used tape, but the way they did it on this video was pretty smooth. This kit does NOT include the tools for make a small hole or for covering it up. I just used a small drill bit I had (you can probably also use a really small screwdriver or even a metal pick) and then tape up the hole when you are done filling with ink. Inside the cartridge there is a small sponge that soaks up the ink, so it's important to not let these cartridges sit too long empty, otherwise you may not be able to refill them. Use the included syringe to draw up the ink out of the big bottle, then simply stick the syringe needle into the hole and start filling. Most cartridges can hold one full syringe of ink. If you broke open the ink cartridge....well, then, you may have to buy another one and start over with the drilling part. Or, maybe some krazy glue to put the cartridge back together. You do NOT need to break open the cartridges. Every cartridge is made to be refilled easily by the manufacturer - they just don't tell you where that is; you need to look it up. The youtube video should be enlightening. Good luck!

I refill the ink by using a syringe to carefully transfer ink from a bottle of ink into either the emptied cartridge or refill converter; the syringes were leftover from one of those DIY after market printer ink refill kit. Try a web search for video tutorial, for example, "how to refill fountain pen ink cartridge". Take some precaution measure against spill, like doing the refill near a sink, on a plate with paper towel on stand-by. Hope this helps.

No problems yet, but only one refill. Check to be sure that there is not ink on the chip at the bottom front of the cartridge or on the pins that make contact with the chip. Clean them with a Q-tip and rubbing alcohol to see if that helps. As for the colors, try the cleaning function that was mentioned in another answer. You can also remove the print head to see if there is any spilled ink on those contacts. If all else fails and you are still missing colors, soaking the print head in Windex for a couple of days, then rinsing in water can help dissolve clogs.

To be honest, my friend had not run out of any ink so I really don't know, but I suppose you could ignore the message that said ink cartridge needed to replace, and carry on, but I'm not 100% sure, sorry!

Yes - If you're using refillable cartridges, you can replace the entire cartridge with a new, different ink cartridge. DON'T MIX THE TWO INKS IN THE SAME CARTRIDGE. Also, if you HAVE A CIS (Continuous Ink System), then you would have to replace the entire CIS - remove the tube line that leads from the ink source & replace it with a new system along with the new ink you're using. If you don't, the inks will mix and/or be distributed differently (some of the old blue with some of the new red) as it disperses through the feed tubes and you won't get true results from using the new ink. Also, I WOULD NOT go back and forth from sub ink to non sub ink. Let your sublimation printer be dedicated to sublimation ink.

Yes it is refillable this ink set comes with a little hand drill. You'll drill a small hole in your cartridge to put the ink in.

Hi, it is filled with ink. you can't refill it. I tried to use it again by drilling a hole but you have to figure out how to reseal the hole well.

If you're asking if the ink dries out before you use it up... I don't use the ink saver mode & I don't print nearly as much as you do and I've never had the ink dry up. I don't change the ink when it says I'm running low - I wait until it tells me I'm out of that color. I only replace the color ink that has run completely out.

It resets the chip that is on the backside of the contacts on the cartridge. Use caution though, printer manufacturers are getting smarter and many will not work with refillable cartridges.

They are refillable, the ink cartridge is the one that unscrews, i dont think the tip can be replaced. I have been using mine for a long time and there are no issues. I really like these pens.

The black portion you see is filed with ink. Once it runs out, you can buy another refill system. However, it has a silicone plug that is perfect for refilling the reservoir. The ink quality is good.

You could also look for a local ink refiller. There's a store where I live that refills ink cartridges. It's very cheap and they put over 20% more ink in the cartridge than the manufacturers. (They don't fill them up.)
