How do I know what type of ink to buy?

you just need to know the printer model number. I bought replacement ink on amazon as well. The best part of this printer is you can get generic ink-you don't have to buy the 'brother' brand which is common with other brands, so your ink costs will be much lower.

LCD will display which ink cartridge needs replacing. HOWEVER: I am not happy with this printer and would not recommend purchasing it. It doesn't print labels and you have to manually adjust paper side guides for envelopes (a real pain).

Well, you know it has to say LC61 and you know you have four colors.There is Brothers ink which is the best but is too expensive if you print quite a bit.I have had good luck using generic Brothers LC 61 ink. Some say you don't getas many pages but I have never checked that closely. The only warning I wouldgive is not to buy ink until you need it. When you buy on Internet you will beable to get it within a few days. I used to buy a year ahead. I found out thatisn't a good idea.

The type is the easy part. LC61, LC61K, K for black, C for Cyan, M for magneta, Y for yellow. OEMs cost $10 a piece so $40 for the 4 cartridges. So 12, 3 each color, for $6.98, 58 cents each. That's not a typo. And they work as good as the originals I got with the printer, sold by GO-DPS. My problem is with the 5 blacks I got from JCB Park, 5 for $5.98.The first one I tried to install leaked ink and still not sure if the physical configuration is even right.

I unfortunately no longer have the list of compatible printer cartridges this ink will work in/for. Perhaps this would be a good question to ask of the seller.

I have a Waterman and use the refillable cartridges. Use Waterman ink of course and I believe I was able to get that through Amazon. This particular model was intended to be a gift but designed in the same principle. You can purchase the ready cartridges. Actually, either work and it is really up to you. I left the choice up to the recipient of my gift.

If you are not sure you can always go to some of the online ink stores that sell them for half the price and are pretty good. I bought these at Amazon and never had a problem.

When purchasing cartridges on Amazon, you can select for your printer model, and just look for your ink. Type in your printer model/number: Amazon has a wonderful tool for getting compatible ink for your printer. Hope this helps!

brother ink . com should have a chart that will tell you exactly what ink your model takes. I'm not sure.

Yes, you can search B00CQF69SO to buy the ink.You can also use any bottle ink. Search 'pen ink' at Amazon.

The best inks to use would be Epson durabrite inks or non OEM pigment inks. You can still use refillable ink cartridges or CISS cartridges, but make sure they are pigment inks. The results come out pretty good and can be washed several times without fading or smudging.

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

I found it easier to get ink from my local art supply store. Not all office supply stores carry a full line of fountain pen ink. You can refill the cartridge converter with a good fountain pen ink but I find the cartridge refills more convenient when I'm on the go. I think the art supply person said these take an international style. I hope this helps.

My saving grace is continuous ink cartridges. They hold a couple months worth of ink and saves me hundreds of dollars. Good luck

The 1 of 2 special refillable cartridge types you'll need to chose from are easily found if you do an Amazon search for "<Your specific printer make and model> CIS". refill cartridge" and "<Your specific printer make and model> CIS". CIS = Continuous Ink System. I went with the cheapest one I could find in Dec'09 and it's still works GREAT & has saved me $$$! Tip: Wear surgical gloves when refilling ink! These special cartridges come with a reset button to fool your printer into thinking you've put brand new cartridges in.

I order through Amazon. Here is the website http://www.refillableink.com/ The one I received seem to work fine. Epson uses pigment in their inks and not dye like Canon, HP and others. The ink I refill with is actually made for a Ricoh GX3000 and I order in bulk (1 litre at a time.)

Try a bottled Waterman ink. Noted for quality, safety, and working well in almost any pen. Available at good prices and in several colors on Amazon. Sheaffer inks are pretty reliable, too. After that, I recommend Diamine brand, especialky in any shade of blue. The Asa blue very nice nice.

I just read that comboink.com has compatible cartridges @ 4.99 for each color. It would be nice to know before purchasing. It's insane to give what they ask for on ink cartridges. I order from comboink for my Epson and they work perfect for that model. My scanner light burn out on my Epson and I need to be able to scan and copy things.

any fountain pen ink can be use. You can buy a bottle or a cartridge. Bottle an be messy and it takes some practice to fill the cartridge without staining your fingers. Cartridges are easier but ore expensive. I bought a Parker brand ink from Staples and it works fine.

Sorry. I don't have any specific link to a website for the ink. However, you should be able to find ink for this model on Amazon. In fact, while back I bought 3 different ink for my self-inking stamp.
