I have my own ink but I dont know how to use it with this pen. Please tell me how to fill it with ink? Step-by-step please; other FAQs don't help.

I use a diabetic needle , fill it with ink from the bottle. Then inject the ink into the pen cartridge after you turn it all the way counter clock wise . It makes things easy that way.

This pen includes a refillable ink cartridge. All you have to do turn the plunger till it's all the way to the bottom. Then dip the open end into your ink a turn the plunger the opposite direction till the cartridge is full. Then place the cartridge in the pen and turn the plunger till you begin to feed ink into the pen. Turn a little at a time until the ink flows freely as you write, enjoy.

I use my own jar as well. Take the pen apart and inside is a clear cartridge looking thing. Make sure it is securely in the pen, just push down on it and if it doesn't move, should be fine. The thing at the top spins which makes a plunger lower and raise, spin the plunger all the way down. Dip the pen in the ink, I dip the entire head of the pen in, and then spin the plunger the opposite way so it raises. It should then suck the ink into the cartridge. My pen takes me 3 or 4 tries before it fills a decent amount, it does not fill it 100%, most I've got was half full.

I tried to use ink from my own bottle but ended up using the cartridge instead.

There are different ways to refill the Lamy pen depending on which one you have. There are cartridge refills as well as an adapter with a plunger so that one can refill the Lamy pen from a bottle of ink. Also check writing with the Lamy Pen on "youtube".

The Infiniter I bought was given as a Christmas gift. I contacted the gift recipient and he says his is still working. I think you might have to take it to a pen store and compare (maybe try) different brands. Where I live there aren't a lot of pen stores (about 3) but maybe a stationery store will have the same thing.

Yes you can get refills. You can pull the pen part out with a bit of pressure. Unfortunately they are really expensive for what you are getting...basically a cut down pen refill that ought to cost 30 cents. Instead costs like 4 dollars. Aaand, theres a little metal hook dealie on the end of it that is proprietary...plus teh refill itself is thin metal instead of fat plastic tube. Therefore you cannot do it yourself. Still, its not like you are using this pen a whole lot right? It should last for a long long time on its own.

I bought a bottle of Parker ink thinking the ink that came with the pen might be bad. It still wouldn't flow. I ended up buying a different pen and have had no problem. Ink flowed first time, everytime.

I generally use Levenger, in this pen I used the Noodler's Heart of Darkness (one of their bulletproof black inks). Wrote well with both. As for the Noodler's ink, if you are sloppy when filling pens, don't try it, it is truly permanent.

you need to buy ink, I like noodles ink although the bottle is rather hard to use to fill the included self filling refill. You can also get cartridges for ease of using when away from home. I got some syringes to fill the cartridge instead of trying to put the pen into the noodles bottle. Some other ink companies have bottles with wells that are easier to use.

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.

You just push it in firmly. It will poke a hole. Don't cut it. Then sit the pen nib down for a few minutes and it should start writing. If not shake it a few times.

Sure! Your pen needs to have ink flow stimulated by some form of "suction". The easiest and gentlest method I've found is to ball up a kleenex and run it very gently with the smooth side of the nib. Just gently "wipe" the nib in a downward motion until you see ink in the kleenex. Then try to gently "write" on the kleenex with the pen. If you get no lines, just keep the gentle downward wipe with the nib and you'll soon get it. Whatever you do, don't use "writing" on paper as a way of making the pen have flow. It's not a ballpoint! You'll wear down your nib which needs inky lubrication to perform well.

Pens don't come with ink. You can either buy cartridges or a bottle and use the refillable cartridge provides with each pen.

Hi Scott. The pen comes with a converter. To fill it, you submerge the nib into an ink bottle and twist the knob on the top of the converter. The pen is also cartridge compatible if you'd rather use cartridges instead. I like bottle ink because there are so many more choices available.

I used Pelican violet ink and just filled the cartridge with my ink of choice and it wries beautifully. If it hasn't been used for awhile and it is dry, I just dip it in a little warm water and it just keeps on writing beautifully

Twist the bottom of the pen counter-clockwise holding the top part still in your hand until it fully retracts Or twist the top which is my favorite, counter clockwise holding bottom still to have pen retract, the opposite to have the ink cartridge to come out. No more marks on your shirt or anywhere else. I also use Fischer Space pen insert BOLD type, writes like a dream!! Have a great one!
