Does anyone know what replacement nibs fit this pen? The nib that came with mine has quite a gap and won't write properly. Thanks

This pen uses a #5 nib. Any #5 nib will work. It doesn't have to be fine, medium, broad, italic or a calligraphy nib. Any #5 nib means ANY #5 nib so ignore some of the silly answers you've gotten. You might be able to fix the nib you have. It's worth a try because you're not out anything if you are ready to try replacing it anyway and it might save you trying to find another #5 nib. To close the gap on a nib gently bend the nib tines downward towards the feed. The two sides of the nib where it splits at the end are the tines, like fork tines. That fat part on the very tip is called the "ball" or the "lobe". Leave the nib in the pen with the feed in place. The feed is that rubber/plastic black thing under the nib. You're trying to put a VERY SLIGHT hook in the nib downwards towards the feed. You'll need to use a fine tweezers for this and look at it under good magnification. You want both tines exactly even, if they're not even that is what causes the "scratchy" feel as you write. Bending them downward closes them and upward opens them. You can use that information to also open up a nib that writes too dry. Conversly bending down a nib that writes too wet will dry it up some. There must ALWAYS be a tiny gap between the tines and the halves of the ball or lobe, the tines should not close completely on the tip. It helps a lot to have a jewelers loupe or a strong magnifying glass to do this. Jewelers that sell fountain pens will often do this for free or at a very minimal charge for you too. TO EVERYONE ELSE -- If you don't KNOW the answer to someone's question, PLEASE do not guess. It's not helpful to do that no matter how well-meaning you are. Someone that already has a problem is just going to get more frustrated if you give them well-intentioned but bad information.

I think it would just be the ultra fine point ones... generic ones should fit.

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.

Hi! I'm not really sure. You probably would want to contact Wacom with an email and ask them what kind of nib is needed for the Intros Pen first. If it's the same one on Amazon then I would go with that. That's all I can think of to help you. Sorry and good luc.

While I don't have the Intuos Pro, I do believe they will work for it. I checked out the Wacom site for the Intuos Pro and it seems to accept standard replacement nibs.

I've never replaced the nibs on this stylus. However, if I remember correctly it came with a replacement nib. Also, I've used what I would call the original Bamboo Stylus and have replaced the nibs on it. This stylus seems to use the same nibs both firm and soft. I have both the ACK-20601 and the ACK-20501. I've just tried the ACK-20601 and they fit.

Try some hot water. warming up the pen will make it expand and let go of the nib... It may take a couple of tries be patient and be gentle.

Must be the type of cartridge you are using .. I have never had a problem with mine ... try cleaning with (hot water) must be hot .. Just put the nib under a hot water faucet for a while should work ..

Also, you have 2 nibs, one is used to write thin or gross, like to do a signature, and the second is to write normal.To re-fill is too easy, but I can't explain in few words, so sorry. The pen is excellent!!

Same issues. Some vendors seem to sell counterfeit Wacom pen. It's my second and it's worst then the first one. Ended up buying locally from Best Buy and that's the real thing.

The replacement nibs come with an included feed mechanism. It all comes in a plastic container that holds it securely. I just swapped nibs on my 580 with a nib that was put in the nib holder still wet with ink. A year later the nib was still fresh, didn't need to clean it.

It uses the original or type one replacement nib. Type 2 does not fit. You can get the replacement via Amazon. Wacom Bamboo Stylus Replacement Nibs, Soft (ACK20501) For 1st Generation Pens Only

I really don't know. I suggest contacting a reputable pen repair shop (e.g., Fahrney's in D.C.) who will be able to assist you both with the advice and, eventually, repairs.

It should. The replacement nibs are in the stand. The stand will unscrew and you will see the nibs. When I purchased mine, this was the case.

I had the exact same dilemma about 6 months ago. The Hauser 707's were already in about 4-5 different rollerball pens of mine. So I took the gamble on the 777's, hoping it was just an upgrade, since I couldn't find the 707's anywhere. I've found that it's not so much the length of the refill, but the hexagon or square or round shape of the nib. The bad news is I have since thrown out all the old 707's (so I can't tell you about any nib shape or size differences w/ 100% accuracy) BUT... The good news is the 777's fit perfectly in all my pens. I say go for it.

If it is a size #6 nib. Search online. I would check with Brian Goulet of Goulet Pens

This isn't a good quality pen though I'm not sure what the nib is made from, it skips quite a bit! I wasn't happy with this purchase. I hope this helps.
