How do you open the pen to get the cartridge in? Neither the very top or the middle unscrews. When I tried to unscrew the area where the nib is the cartridge didn't fit.

The Prera only opens one way, in one place, so it's hard to make a mistake. With the cap off, grip the pen just behind the nib, and unscrew the barrel with your other hand. You will have to push the cartridge up into the nib section -- gently but firmly. Once you have the cartridge firmly in place, screw the pieces back together again. Time to enjoy your Prera!P.S. If that doesn't work, you have some other, bigger issue with your pen!

Just at the silver joint about one inch from the nib, unscrew this. It is very tough to do the first time.

Unscrew the pen just above the nib area, mid-pen. Pilot cartridges fit the opposite way you'd think they would, with the tapered end farthest from the nib. Push down on the cartridge; it fits over the nib area and will be pierced as you press down.

Uncap the pen and unscrew in the middle.... The cartridge should be pilot... The standard cartridge doesn't fit,....

unscrew the body of the pen; take the whole nib assembly out. Then pull the converter straight out. It will require some force, but the converter will slide out. You can then put the cartridge in its place.

I ordered the Jinhao ink cartridges for this pen. Unscrew the part of the pen that has the nib (the writing point). The narrow end of the ink cartridge is what goes toward the nib end. Push it on until the end is punctured, allowing the ink to flow freely. Screw the two pieces of the pen back together. It usually takes a minute for the ink to flow down into the nib, but once it does you are ready to write.

The pen opens at the top. Just unscrew the top, silver tip of the pen and you will get to the ink cartridge.

On the side of the cartridge there should be a green or black lever. You have to pull out the plastic cover from the ink cartridge then it should click in place. Also check inside your printer, it may have fell off that's why you don't see it.

You can replace the nib. Jinhao sells them but its easier to replace the entire tip. Many alternative sellers make nibs and tips that fit the barrel. Have you tried flushing your pen with alcohol? I Periodically have to hold mine under warm running water to unclog it. Sometimes have to take the pen apart and soak it (after long periods of not using the ink will dry inside) good luck. Ive been using my (ugly gold) pen for over a year.

Open it up as if changing out stylet. If it falls out or comes out with too much ease, The stylus is probably not popped into place. Hope that helps.

All of the cartridges should fit correctly. If it isn't for some reason, then I would try removing the cartridge. Try putting it back in. Be sure to apply gentle pressure to the upper part of the cartridge. You should hear a slight click if it goes in correctly. Otherwise, there is a possibility that you don't have the proper size or that the cartridge is defective. If you think it's defective, I would contact the seller about a possible replacement.

Try this. grasp the sides of the ink cartridge firmly and the press the front top clip on the cartridge till you can pull it straight up. If that doesn't work do the same (pressing front top clip on the cartridge) and jiggle the sides of the cartridge and at the same pulling up gently until it breaks lose. It's also possible to remove the print head but that can be done by squeezing the two clips at the back top of the print head and lifting. I would avoid this unless it's absolutely necessary because you may have to replace the print head once removed. Just be careful and work gently with the information described above. Good luck.

Use small wire cutters to shorten the spring that the refill uses at the pen's tip and it'll work perfectly. Do it a tiny bit at a time until it works properly.

Remove the cap with the extra tips in it and set aside. This end of the pen will come off but it's pretty tight. I had some difficulty with it and actually found myself using my teeth to pull it out the first time. Once it's off, you can fill it with the acetone.

Hi. The clip on this model of the pen can not be replaced. You would have to bend it back with pliers. Thank you!

The stylus does not have this option, it unscrews at the top portion and the pen is inside.

The pen uses a standard cartridge so you can just pop in a new one. But I'm not sure which cartridge it uses. The pen works great.

Let me first say I am very new at this. When I first got my wood burning tool, I had the same problem but then realized I was trying to unscrew the barrel of where the nib screws into instead of the nib itself. Once I realized my mistake, the nib was very easy to unscrew and replace with another nib.

Just put It into Pen cavity, narrow tip first. The pen will puncture cartridge. Carefully press firmly. Walah! You are done.

In the cardboard housing (where the pen was holded with rubber things) there are two holes, on the lateral side of the cardboard.. one of them has the cartridge in there.. it should be in there.. Reply if you did found it..
