Is there a way to fill the ink supply without buying disposable cartridges?

Yes. It comes with a "converter", which is a refillable reservoir. It fits into the pen in place of a cartridge. This particular converter uses a screw mechanism to operate the plunger. With some other pens (Lamy Safari, for instance) you need to buy the converter separately.

Yes. I use a fountain pen convertor. This allows me to use the ink well bottle. The ink last and extemely long time. I purchased my ink well bottle 4 years ago.

Yes of course. Actually the disposable cartridges are for those users who do not like to deal with the ink bottle. I have purchased two Nemosines and both came with an ink converter, you just put it on the fountain pen instead of the cartridge, dip the tip of the pen into the ink bottle and refill it as needed. Make sure to buy fountain pen ink only, because other india, china or acrylic inks will permanently damage it.

Mine came with a converter which should alleviate the need for more disposable cartridges. If you don't have a converter and don't want to use one you can get a hold of a blunt tipped syringe and a bottle of ink and refill one of your empty disposable cartridges. You can get supplies of this type at gouletpens.com. Their accompanying blog has been a great source of information about fountain pens for me.

When I bought my pen it came with a refillable cartridge. Just buy a bottle of ink and you should be good to go. Though I will say that the refillable cartridge that came with it did not hold up very long. It lost the seal and wouldn't hole any ink.

throw away the cheap refill cartridge you bought and get a real ink cartridge.

Yes you can use just the ink cartridge. I hope that tells you what you needed to know.

You should start with a Refill kit for that cartridge. That will give you not only instructions and a smaller bottle or 2 of ink but also the tools to do refills on cartridges. The bulk ink is replenishing the kits or if you do a lot of cartridges.

They come that way. You can buy cartridges. However, in my experience with these pens you will never get the barrel entirely filled with ink. They run out of ink pretty quickly

Search google for how to refill (list your cartridge) there should be instructions.

There is starter ink provided. Be sure not to buy the photo version of the 564 cartridges. They don't fit in the printer.

You can buy bottles of ink right on Amazon. When the ink starts to run dry, you just depress the stamp part way and add a few drops to the built in pad.

You can use this to replace what came with printer. Xl's are a better deal than regular size cartridges; they contain almost twice the ink and are just a few dollars more

yes, they can also be filled with bottle ink when the cartridge is empty, if you don't like the ink converter.

You can purchase a bottle of ink. You can refill it somehow. I am sure there must be directions somewhere as to how to do it. I think the directions might be in the box. I bought this as a wedding gift so I am not sure. The manufacturer's website may have them. Hope that helps.

Search for pelikan ink converter. Alternatively, just use a syringe with a needle to refill the empty cartridge. Youtube has detailed how to. The extra long cartridge that comes with it stores a lot of ink and allows one to write for a long time.

You can't! Don't buy the pen- not worth it! Runs out of ink almost immediately and doesn't take refills.

Buy or refill the color cartridges. It won't print black and white without them.

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

You can get it direct from XPRO. I just use regular ink I can buy by the pint. Just as good, and a lot less expensive.
