How do you refill the ink when it runs out?

I used a converter, but I've learn that this pen is not designed for converter, due to the complicated feed system at at the front of the pen, that ink will get trap in place that's not design to hold ink and thu might cause stain, I would recommend using a syringe to refill either your cartridge or converter.

The pen has an ink cartridge. You can buy additional cartridges and also buy a refillable cartridge if you want to use your own ink.

I refill the ink by using a syringe to carefully transfer ink from a bottle of ink into either the emptied cartridge or refill converter; the syringes were leftover from one of those DIY after market printer ink refill kit. Try a web search for video tutorial, for example, "how to refill fountain pen ink cartridge". Take some precaution measure against spill, like doing the refill near a sink, on a plate with paper towel on stand-by. Hope this helps.

You can convert it into a eyedropper pen (look it up on Google, it's hard for me to explain, but an eyedropper pen is basically a pen that uses it's barrel to hold ink.) All you need is a #5 O-ring, silicone grease, bottled ink, and an eyedropper.

You can purchase more of the cartridges online. You simply pull off the old cartridge and put the new one on just like you did the last one. If you intend to change colors, you should clean the pen first. This can do done by running water through the pen and letting it dry. Sometimes using a syringe can really help get it clean.

I believe new insert, mine broke. The threads are week they sent me a new one and the same thing happened. Nice pen when working.

If you save the old cartridge, you can refill it with fountain pen ink (note: not India ink, which will clog your pen's feed) using an eye dropper or syringe. They now also sell converters for this pen, which are essentially able to suck ink up out of an ink bottle and store it for use.

I believe you either need to buy a new cartridge or use the needle method to refill the cartridge as well.

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.

You can refill the empty cartridge; however, very inexpensive converters that fit both the Preppy and the Plaisir are available on eBay. I have used these converters and have not experienced any difficulties whatsoever.

There are no refills, you just throw it away when it's empty. It does last quite a while though.

Here's what Canon's site says: "The ink has run out. Replace the ink tank." U163 If you want to continue printing in this condition, you need to release the function for detecting the remaining ink level. Press and hold the Stop/Reset button for at least 5 seconds, and then release it. With this operation, releasing the function for detecting the remaining ink level is memorized. Please be advised that Canon shall not be liable for any malfunction or trouble which may be caused by continuation of printing under the ink out condition. Note If the function for detecting the remaining ink level is disabled, the ink tank in gray is displayed on the LCD when checking the current ink level. Since printing in this condition may cause the contents of the fax to be lost, the machine stores received faxes in memory without printing until the ink tank is replaced. Print the fax stored in memory manually after replacing the ink tank. You can set the machine to print received faxes forcibly without storing them in memory, but a part of contents or all contents of the fax may not be printed.

I don't know, sorry. I always have a set of inks for when one runs out.BTW When not in use, this printer doesn't drain ink anywhere near as much as all the other printers I've owned.

Yes you do, however be careful, the ink has a tendency to leak after the refills

They have a Fountain Pen Ink Converter Refill - Twist Action inside. so you can refill it from an ink bottle.

If you don't use ANY fountain pen for a while, the ink will dry out. Usually, just refill it and the fresh ink will flush it out. If the nib is really gunked up, you can soak the nib end in some warm water, then flush out the ink reservoir with warm water and then refill with ink. I've had my Parker Sonnet for a number of years and haven't had any problem just refilling it with ink after not suing it for a while. It's a great pen!

I was unable to get mine refilled, too. I was able to use the aftermarket new ones, though, which are a lot cheaper. Unfortunately, their shelf life is almost gone by the time you use them, and after a few weeks they go bad. Inkjet Printer ink has a very short shelf life, less than a year. If you do not do a lot of printing, like me, then it's better to do your all your printing in a commercial printer. It's not worthy to have to keep buying ink every two months.

go to www.youtube.com and in their search box..type in your printer name and "ink refill instructions" look around at a few videos that may have your printer, and it will show you how to do it.if it is the question of the type of ink cartrage...and how to refill it..type in the number of the ink cartrage, and type of printer, and "refill" in their search..that will hopefully get you to your ink cartrage , and you will have a video of how to fill it and in what holes what ink to put in. hope this helps. :)

Yes, you should totally be able to refill pretty much any inkjet cartridges with this kit. Here's a quick youtube search using your model printer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHVQbGCBreA Basically, for all inkjet printer cartridges, you look up where you need to "drill" a small hole on top. That's where the new ink goes in, and then you just cover it up with something. I just used tape, but the way they did it on this video was pretty smooth. This kit does NOT include the tools for make a small hole or for covering it up. I just used a small drill bit I had (you can probably also use a really small screwdriver or even a metal pick) and then tape up the hole when you are done filling with ink. Inside the cartridge there is a small sponge that soaks up the ink, so it's important to not let these cartridges sit too long empty, otherwise you may not be able to refill them. Use the included syringe to draw up the ink out of the big bottle, then simply stick the syringe needle into the hole and start filling. Most cartridges can hold one full syringe of ink. If you broke open the ink cartridge....well, then, you may have to buy another one and start over with the drilling part. Or, maybe some krazy glue to put the cartridge back together. You do NOT need to break open the cartridges. Every cartridge is made to be refilled easily by the manufacturer - they just don't tell you where that is; you need to look it up. The youtube video should be enlightening. Good luck!

pull out the oval colored tab and fill through this port with the refill bottle. you may have to remove the other cap on the cartridge if the cartridge isn't venting.

Have not had to refill it yet, I imagine the plug with the big hole is where you pour the new ink. Make sure the tiny hole is also open to allow air to escape when you pour the ink in the big hole.
