Yes, the bottled ink will work well with that style of ink filler. A difficulty that you might encounter with an old fountain pen is that the bladder that holds the ink in the pen can dry out making it difficult to store the ink. A store that specializes in fountain pens can replace the bladder for you. If you haven't used the pen in a while, you may need to clean the nib (using water only!).

They are supposed to be refillable, but I don't intend to try. Prefer to buy new rather than risk damaging the printer.

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

Note: Gigablock sells the same quality ink in single colors on Amazon in large bottles. You can get a bottle of black ink only. They sell it in single bottles if the other five colors too.

No as far as I know this pen only uses cartridges ,maybe you can contact Schrade directly and ask them about a converter for bottled ink.

I know that Office Depot will accept your old cartridge, and they MAY give you a small credit toward purchasing their merchandise (I believe it may be around $3.00).

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

Yes, you can use off brand ink and I don't know about art work, I use it to print directions and resumes so I'm not too sure.

Yes, but you should buy an extra set of inks to be prepared when the supplied set runs dry.

You could also look for a local ink refiller. There's a store where I live that refills ink cartridges. It's very cheap and they put over 20% more ink in the cartridge than the manufacturers. (They don't fill them up.)

Yes, like most printers it comes with a small amount of ink. It'll run out fast and you'll need to buy more pretty quick, but that's very often the case with printers.

No, you have to buy a higher model to get that. The printer itself is pretty good, but seems a bit sensitive to third party ink.

Tell you truth I don't know the what the best refill kit are. I bought and used http://www.amazon.com/refill-refillable-cartridges-using-Epson/dp/B002RWAKMM/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top#productDetails. So far I used that ink to refill the cartridges 3-4 times so far and have about half the bottles still full. It can be a bit messy refilling ink cartridges if your not careful. So depending on your time/cost and how much you print, buying a new one might better choice if it cost $3-5 bucks.

Probably a good question for Sophia Global. However, I have some unopened waiting to use, and the ink is still quite 'fluid'. Hope this helps.

It takes the small universal ink cartridge that I think you can get at Stapes, etc. I've left the box it came in at my FL home, but check the ad again; I think it may even come with a converter that uses bottled ink.

Yes you can. It is really hard to find the printer cartridges though. If it wasn't for that, it would be a great printer.
