The cartridges should fit perfectly if they are Jinhao International Size Pen Ink Cartridge. Remove the reusable cartridge that comes with the pen. Put it aside, and save it. Now, when you place your cartridge in the pen press down with a good amount of pressure until you hear a click. Then press it once more, just for good measure. Put it all together. Give the pen a good couple of shakes and place it, point downward, in a cup. It'll be ready to us in no time.

I've had no problems with the cartridges fitting into this pen. Make sure you are using the international size ink cartridges. Those fit for me.

I have to replace mine. I purchased from amazon another's name cartridge did not fit, and they would not take it back. Totally waste of money all the way around. I am selling mine at garage sale.

I am unfamiliar with the pen mentioned...the cartridges are 1/4" diameter and an 1 1/2" long if that helps. I had trouble receiving mine, as I ordered them, paid for them and never got them ( other than what came with a pen I had ordered, it came with a few included.) I backtracked to try and either get the product or a refund and was unsuccessful...Good Luck!

Exactly as Russell responded, make sure to buy the cartridge/stylus combo as the cartridge is specific to this stylus and will work 100 percent. Also make sure you have a head shell and head shell wires, most are universal.

It's very difficult to find a replacement ink for this pen. I've had to purchase 3 of them because I can't find one that fits. I've gone to Office Depot, office max and tried online but the ink don't fit. It's almost like you just have to keep purchasing the pen. I've sent an email to papermate regarding a replacement ink but never heard back. If you do find one that works, please share the info. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Please tell me exactly what cartridges I need to refill this pen or converter refills.

With the little adjuster on the cartridge put in the empty position (where it would be if no ink were in it) Just dip the nib into the ink (cartridge attached) and then while it is immersed in the ink, carefully twist the little adjuster in the other direction so that it forms a vacuum and pulls the ink into the cartridge. I hope that makes sense!

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.

Here's what I did. the new refill was about half a centimeter too short for my pen, so I cut a small piece from an old plastic refill and scotch taped it (wrapped tape around) to the tail end of the new refill, to use as a spacer. when I put it in the pen it worked fine !

No. This pen does not accommodate cartridges. It has a piston-fill system with a generous capacity.

This model doesn't have a digitizer screen. So any pen won't work. You need to buy the model with digitizer support which is probably few hundred dollars extra

my printer never could either. I was told to turn the printer off, remove the cartridges, add the cartridges back, and turn the printer on. it never helped me.

If the ink won't flow, you can use ink converter that comes already with the pen.It is better than the ink cartridges.

A few suggestions for your problem, Warren. Firstly, I've found that cartridges just don't work as well as bottled ink. For cleaning, remove the cartridge, insert a converter, and fill the pen with plain (preferably filtered) luke warm water from a glass and empty it out. Do this a few times until the water coming out of the pen is clear. If you don't have a converter then unscrew the nib, drop the whole assembly in the glass and rinse it in the water, changing the water until clear. I suggest cleaning the nib in this way every time you fill it.
