Does the pen come with an ink cartridge when you first purchase it or do you have to buy those totally separately?

The package we got came with one cartridge. But you will want more, anyway!

I don't recall if it comes with cartridges. It does come with an ink filler insert. I strongly recommend purchasing Noodler's waterproof fountain pen ink and using the filler device. The ink flows well and really is waterproof.

It comes with one of each color ink cartridge. I purchased extras because I wanted them on hand when I needed them and to save on shipping. I purchased generic cartridges and they are working perfectly.

Yes, the ink pen portion works well. It comes in handy to have both functions.I have not had to change the ink so I am not sure how easy it will be to find the replacement cartridges.

It doesn't take cartridges, it is a refillable pen. I bought a bottle of ink and its lasted at least a year and through two pens

No. The single refills do not work in this pen. Once it is used up, it's trash! No refills available. The ink doesn't last long, either.

Yes the ink converter is included- My 12 year-old nephew has no problem using the pen, so I am assuming it is all pretty easy to use. I had to call and ask him the answer for this question. Hope this helps.

The pen comes with a blue ink cartridge. You can purchase black cartridges on Amazon, or I suggest getting a converter and using bottled ink, as that's much more cost efficient and you can change colors whenever you want.

Yes. The pen comes with the adapter to fill from a bottle. Included so you can use either cartridge or bottle with purchase.

Hello. No it does not. It does come with refillable ink "converters", 1 for each pen. They can also use the standard universal ink cartridge but do not actually ship with any. (You can get them cheaply enough on Amazon separately, like I did, though.) In my opinion, the ink converters are more "fun". :-) You fill them with ordinary bottled calligraphy ink of the sort used with dip pens or filling equally old-fashioned ink wells. (Bottled ink is also cheap, like $6 for a bottle.)

Hello - The Metropolitan Pen comes in three parts; The cap, Nib assembly and the body. But it also comes with a cartridge. The cartridge, as in most cartridges, are punctured into the nib assembly, which then releases the ink. I usually fill the same cartridge with my ink of choice with a syringe fitted with a small "hose-like tube" By the way, this is a great pen. It writes evenly and it distributes the ink flawlessly. I use it to take notes in college. Hope this helps. - Miguel

It comes with ink and a small roll of paper. You should probably buy additional paper because the starter roll won't last long.

Depends on the type of ink cartridge you put in it. I think it comes with blue ink cartridges...

Hello, you can use the ink cartridges. Please search B00H5IEDQW or B00JXFP9OU to buy the ink cartridges fit this pen. You can also use the bottle ink for it. Thanks.

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.

it comes with a refillable reservoir. I have never used the cartridges so mine are still filled. The refillable well works just fine for me. I have been using this pen daily for a few months. Nice pen. I was surprised how light this pen is.

You have to buy cartridges or a bottle of ink to fill the reservoir in the pen. Ink Cartridges are 5 for $1.59 oryou can get it on sale for $.99 plus free shipping. Ink Cartridges last a few weeks if you don't write too much.The refillable cartridge should have come with the pen.
