Absolutely! in fact i use Noodlers black bulletproof ink in my Namiki Falcon, because a well known illustrator from Sweden recommended it in his Facebook.

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

Do I have to always purchased color with the black or can I just purchase black ink only

I wouldn't use this ink for that. It's archival on paper. I would use black StazOn instead!

I don't strictly speaking know, but I guess not, because you have to remember the nib has a controlled but open fluid flow from the ink reservoir, and there's no reason water couldn't do that too. With the cap on maybe.

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 haven't had trouble with this ink. The pen i use it in isn't even a very high quality, but still no problems. It may vary from pen to pen so just make sure yours does not have any special ink restrictions by the manufacturer. Other than this I seriously doubt you will have any problems. The ink seems to be less likely to clog than traditional black ink.

Unfortunately not. It uses the same cartridges as other Platinum pens though.

No, the cartridge that is included in with each pen can be filled with out dip it in the ink. Only fill it with a syringe and wait the ink "get off" through the pen and begin to write.

It comes with a converter, so I presume it can use all kinds of fountain pen inks. I, however, like to use cartridges because it's just "cleaner". Pilot Namiki IC100 Fountain Pen Ink Cartridge Pilot Namiki IC100 Fountain Pen Ink Cartridge, Black, 12 Cartridges per Pack (69100)

It works best with Noodlers inks, some of which you can obtain on Amazon dot com.

No. There is only the ink cartridge that comes with the pen. Medium point black ink refills are readily available from Amazon.

Yes you can. The ink is good quality ink and as long as you know how to put it in it will work.

Agreed. You will need a converter to add your own ink to this pen. Lamy sells a converter cartridge.

As far as ink goes, I like the Noodler's Bulletproof line of inks. It does the job very well--depending on why you need the waterproof ink, I would probably also suggest getting a smaller nib for this pen. It might help.Yes, this pen can be used as a dip pen. It can be refilled by hand, but you need to get a converter that fits it. Then you just dip it below the surface and twist on the converter and it sucks the ink up into the pen.

Hi Supermom: You can use this pen with the little ink cartridges made for it or you can use the refillable one that comes with it. You just hold the valve end into a bottle of ink while pulling up on the little plunger which sucks the ink into the chamber and, bingo! Insert it into the nib just like you would a prefilled cartridge. Get ink specifically for fountain pens. Other inks may clog the nib too often. If it is archival quality it will say so on the bottle. These pens are not maintenance free at all. But if you get one that flows really well, it is a joy to use. Certain people just like the scratch and flow of liquid ink vs. ball point pens. The calligraphy squared-off nib on this peb is especially fun and there aren't very many fountain pen manufacturers that make a really high end pen with a calligraphy nib. This one is not considered high end, but it is much nicer than the plastic ones. (I'm not knocking the plastic ones - I like anything with different width nibs and a good flow!) Lots of Duke owners love this pen. Mine won't flow so I'm going to try a higher quality ink to see if that helps. There are other adjustments I can try before I give up on it - it's a great looking, good-feeling pen and the nib is nice quality. TMI?
