Is the ink color still black, or does the ink vary with the color of the pen?

the color on the pen tells you the color of the ink. I find the different colors useful for editing.

Brian - All the ones that I have ordered so far have the ink matching the color of the pen. Liz

I know the pen must have the paper, but I don't know if the ink is special or not. When the ink is fresh it's nice. It's when it gets old that it's harder to use. Sorry I can't help you more.

Hi there is a black pen, but I have not used it, so can't say what it is like, but the ones I have used worked really well.

The pen has a very fine line, and so even though it does show up, it is difficult to read. The purple ink does not show at all on black, because it continually jams.

Ink is Blue. I ran it out, and bought four black cartridges. It's a great pen, everyone who tries it mentions how great a writing pen it is. My last Waterman lasted 18 years. I'm in sales.

Yes the quill pen with the ink works well The ink needs to be stirred or shaken to mix well prior to use. I just tried, black, yellow and red and it is fine. Of course the black is more vivid than the other colors.

The pens are colored, the ink is not. Ink is invisible and only shows up once black light is shined on it. Black light is in the tip of each pen.

The ink itself is invisible, but under the black light on the cap, it is the purpleish blueish color black light tends to be. The pens I received were pink and purple ones with designs on them, but all of them have the same ink inside.

It doesn't come with ink in it. The area near the nib that looks green looks transparent like that when there's no ink, so you can see how full the pen is.

black ink comes with the pen. it uses a standard parker style refill. I like the monteverde soft roll liquid ball point that you can get at any online pen store.

My pen's color is black with gold color at following places:top of cap, pen clip, cap mouth, nib-joint, bottom of barrel and barrel joint. The nib itself is steel color.I'm not sure if they come in other colors. Hope this helps.

The ink color varies by pen color. Blue color has blue ink, red color has red ink, green color has green ink. I purchased the blue color which has blue ink color in the pen. I do not believe this comes in black.

Hey Caitie. I rarely use the pen so the ink hasn't dried up yet. I am sorry. Good luck and let me know if you find any replacements.

It comes with a black refill in the pen. Here is a link to the blue refill you can purchase http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000KTB6RC

The color will not be true black at first and if it is the same brand of ink there should not be a problem.

I have yet to use cartridges with this pen. I use Noodlers Heart of Darkness black ('cause I love the super dark black, and I think it just makes sense with this pen), and I use the supplied converter. I usually get a bit less than a month's worth of daily journaling out of this setup. I know it's not quite as easy as cartridges, but I find that the five minutes it takes to fill the converter is a small price to pay for the quality of the Noodlers ink. Plus, the ink is so much cheaper than buying cartridges.
