Using a BIC 4-color ballpoint pen is a lot of fun. That is what we used back in my day. You can change colors with just one pen. BIC 4-Color Ball Pen, Medium Point (1.0mm), Assorted Ink, 3-Count

As long as the point fits into the hole, I would think any pen or even a colored pencil would work.

You don't have to use just pens. Colored pencils and markers work well as long as the point can fit in the hole.

I don't think it matters as long as the tip of the pen is long enough to fit through the holes and make contact with the paper.

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

I purchased the silver and gold pen. That individual pen does not take cartridges but instead has a refillable ink well inside, so buy ink.

I've only used them for the metropolitan fountain pen. I looked at the specks for the pilot penmanship fountain pen and the ink cartridges might be to big. If you are a first time fountain pen user I would suggest the metropolitan fountain pen for the price it is a great deal. If you are looking for something with a smaller base and a little more feminine appeal try:Elegant Fountain Pen Jinhao 301 Black with Diamond Fine Nib. I own 3 of them, the nib is iridium and ink cartridges are compatible with the popular Shaffer fountain pens for beginners.

works well with everything. I have not tried a "marker" but fountain pen and uniball pens work well.

Yes! I always keep extra around for my Parker pens. Here on Amazon, search "Refill for Parker Retractable Pen," and options (color of ink, etc.) will pop up. Great prices too!!!

It depends on the brand of the pens that I have, For example, If I have sheaffer brand pen, I have to buy a a sheaffer converter, but if you ask about the mother of pearl pen will by any ink converter that is fits to it .

Your choice on the refill. Check with well springv for what you want and choose whom you wish to buy them and how many. PS (Amazon had the best prices for me but a wait for selection. For my waitresses?)

Hi David, I recommend Pelikan 4001 Ink, which comes in a variety of colors. I've used their "Royal Blue" in this exact pen and had great results. It dries fast and doesn't blob or clog and I've used it on a variety of paper surfaces and textures. I got mine from Amazon seller " Pen Boutique Ltd."

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.

Make sure you have the correct pens. I bought extra pens that i thought would work.. and NOPE they didnt. With the pens that came with the box, sometimes i would have to wet them a little and pump and pump hard and then they would work. Good luck. :)

Here's the perfect solution: the Sharpie Stainless Steel Grip Fine Point Black Ink Pen (1800702). It's good looking, quality, affordable and is refillable to boot. Order a 2-pack of refills (1800730) at the same time and you'll be set for a long stretch of enjoyable writing.

not from Genius unless you want to order a whole new pen. I found universal tips for the pen on ebay. 10 for 5.55

Most fountain pen inks are dye-based--that's what you want to stick with. Avoid PIGMENT-based inks (like so-called "India" ink)--they'll clog up (and possibly ruin) your TWSBI. Luckily, pigment-based inks are few in number and easy to avoid. Diamine (a British co.) makes wonderful (dye-based) inks in a zillion shades. J. Herbin (a 17th-cent. French co.) is another very nice brand with a huge selection of colors. A very nice (and bargain-priced) US-made ink is Noodler's. Velvet Black (by Private Reserve) is hard to beat. Perhaps my personal favorites (brand-wise) are the Pilot "Iroshizuku" line--but they're not cheap, at $25-30 a bottle. Have fun! If you're like many of us, you'll end up with a handful of "favorite" inks. Many retailers (Goulet, IsellPens) will sell samples (one or two pen fillings, or test-drives) for a couple of bucks before you invest in a full 30 or 50 ml bottle.

Use a pen that is fine, and delivers ink slowly. BIC rollerballs are too heavy, and wide nibbed fountain pens are too inky; they'll bleed right through. I use a fine nibbed fountain pen for mine! Perhaps that or a fine felt-tip.
