how do I put ink in it?

One of two ways. You can use an ink cartridge which are sold at office supply stores or you can insert the converter that was shipped with the pen. It either has a twist or slide on it that activates a plunger within the converter. Place the entire nib in a bottle of fountain pen ink and draw the ink into the converter by either twisting the top of the converter to drive the plunger up and down or sliding it up and down. Do this several times to fill the converter then push it down to expel some of the ink and pull it back so you have an air gap at the top of the converter. I usually leave about 1/4 of the converter as an air gap.

You need to buy a black or color cartridge for it. You also need to buy badges (PVC cards). You also need to invest in the software program which is about 80 dollars. Unless you are really smart and use another program to write to the printer

With the little adjuster on the cartridge put in the empty position (where it would be if no ink were in it) Just dip the nib into the ink (cartridge attached) and then while it is immersed in the ink, carefully twist the little adjuster in the other direction so that it forms a vacuum and pulls the ink into the cartridge. I hope that makes sense!

Just push up on the plastic cover and remove. Lift out ink roller and put in new roller.

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.

Looks like everyone else answered this, but I'll give it a shot too--and I'll borrow from the directions off my box of Pilot/Namiki ink cartridges. :P So--first, unscrew the pen. Hold your pen with the nib (the tip) of the pen straight up and remove the empty cartridge (or the converter if it's still on the pen--that thing on the end that you squeeze like an eyedropper bulb). Insert the new cartridge straight into the pen without turning or twisting. Also: Be sure to hang onto that converter! At the very least, you can use that to help yourself clean out the inside of the pen between cartridges (or between ink refills in general if you use bottled inks). What you do is, fill a cup with clean, cold water. (If your tap water is drinkable, use that. If you're more worried, use bottled water. Some folks swear by distilled water, but I don't feel it's necessary.) Put the converter onto the pen and use it to suck clean water into the pen, then squeeze the converter to get the dirty inky water out. Do this several times--draw up clean water, squeeze out the dirty water--until the water comes out clear. Then dry off the nib. Personally, I like to let my pen sit nib down in a cup stuffed with a wad of paper towel to dry overnight. Anyhoo--the converter will at least help you with cleaning the pen. But the really good thing about using any fountain pen is using *bottled inks.* That's really what that converter is for! When you feel ready to try out bottled inks, you'll really be needing that converter. So in the meanwhile, be sure to hold onto it and don't lose it. Yeah...you could always buy another one if you do, but why should you if you've already got one, right? Good luck and happy writing :)

You pull the cap off, which exposes the nib and then unscrew the pen and put an ink cartridge in. This pen is great to use.

U put the cartridge in it -the holder -so u can use it as a base to inject the ink into the cartridge and also stops the ink from leaking from the bottom-if your not sure I believe inkjet has it s own video on how to fill them also u-tube has several video s showing u step by step -thier a great help if your not sure how to do it -I watched them -it helped - but once u figure it out u won t believe how easy it is-look at vids .

If you are using the disposable cartridge try the following. Open the pen and hold it with the nib down and squeeze the cartridge very gently until you see ink in the nib.

1. Remove paper roll 2. Slide the clear plastic cover (paper comes up thru a slot in the cover) to the back to remove 3. Ink cartridge is visible - "pull up" where marked on tab. 4. Insert new cartridge

Barbara...I believe that you refill them from the top of each individual reservoir, after you open the front hatch that exposes them. Remove the filter plug and using something like a syringe, inject the ink into the reservoir.As far as what type of ink, it all depends on what printer you have. Do a google search regarding you printer asking for something like "what ink does the ** printer use?"

All you have to do is buy some film. There is no ink. Hope this helped you. :)

You just have to buy the paper. The zinc paper has all the ink it needs inside of it. Be sure to brighten up the photo before you print. =)

It has the ink already. You just pop them into your printer and you're good to go.

I put 5-6 ml in, just to have the sponge absorb the ink. When the sponge absorbed that I put the ink port holder in place and filled it full. If you put any more in, as I did originally, ink leaks out the port pretty quickly. Let me know if you have any other questions!

The ink is encased in the cartridges so I don't know how you could use your own ink. Sorry. I haven't had a problem with the ink or tried other methods of ink before.

You need to buy the special ribbon and ink cartridges which have the ribbon and the ink in them. If you buy the ribbons from a store you won't have the special ink to go with them - it must work on some thermal transfer system
