Thank you for this! I haven't inked in years and i just started using pens and needed to know more modern info and techniques. thank you for taking the time to talk about cutting also. Send more videos please.
Thank you, Thomas, for watching! That means more than you know! More vids on the way - but which one are you more interested in: Paper or Pencil? I have them both on the slab, trying to decide which one first. YOU get to decide! :)
This was very helpful. Thank you!
Thank you for watching! It means so much to me!
Great Video. The Pigma Calligrapher pens are some of my favorite but they dry out Quick. I started shooting Indian ink lightly thinned out and works great.
Without thinning will clog 005?
4:00 that "don't use your teeth" note... it's as if you knew me personally XD
Never even thought of thinning the ink. Will try it next time. My experience is, that it's easy to overfill, so the ink flows to easy.
Absolutely, it's easy to overfill. I may do an addendum to this video but I dilute with both alcohol or water, depending on how thick and type of the ink I use to fill. Using alcohol with dry the nib out faster but does work wonders to soften an already dried out pen. Good luck and thanks for tuning in! :) I appreciate you!
Great video.tfs
Bro! You on UA-cam!😮😮😮
Why the video as underrated? This literally so useful a
Wow! Thank you for watching the video! I'm trying to get better with the video production and making sure the information is helpful. I so appreciate you! Thank you! 👍👍👍😊
Great video, I'd love to see a follow up video. I just refilled my Staedtler pigment liner with Koh-I-Noor Ultradraw ink. Do you think cutting it with a small amount of alcohol would have been better?
Thanks, It's helpful... Recently I brought Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Pen and really worried about refilling.
I feel you - I was scared to do it at first as well. But when you run out of ink, give it a shot. You've got nothing to lose, really, right? :)
Hm. I’ll have to try this. ❤
Great money-saving tip...Thanks Mhan! So easy a caveman can do it. 😊
Thank you for a great video and instructions. Would you have any recommendations for refilling the GRAY Sakura micron pens? There are some beautiful gray fountain pen inks but I am not confident that is the right kind of ink…esp because they are not waterproof. Appreciate any advice you could give. Thank you!!
Great video! Subbed :)
Wow, thank you and welcome! New updates coming soon. Had to wrap projects but making vids again
Awesome video 👍, can I also use fountain pen inks to refill my Faber-Castel Pitt artist felt nib pen? If yes, what kind?
Do you have any tips on cleaning how to clean an old pigment liner nib? I've just refilled my pen but the nib still doesn't flow as good as a new one ... or maybe I'll just have to wait longer for the new ink to saturate the tip ... it's hard to wait!
What type of ink and what brand do you recommend for Copic Multiliner Sp pen refills? and how to charge it? Thank You..
THIS IS LITERALLY THE BEST VIDEO AND THE MOST INFORMATIVE VIDEO ABOUT REFILLING THE MICRONS OUT HERE ...I'VE BEEN SEARCHING ABOUT THIS SINCE LAST MONTH BUT THIS IS THE BEST .....THANKS A LOT SIR FOR THIS INFO ....I'VE BEEN THINKING TO USE ROTRIG ISOGRAPH INK FOR THE SAKURA PIGMA MICRONS...WILL THAT BE GOOD ??? ONCE AGAIN THANKS A LOT
Rotring Ink is excellent - good texture and dark. I'd play with cutting the ink with a bit of water or alcohol after trying it once without cutting, just to get a baseline. Good luck and THANK YOU for watching!
@@PopMhanComix Thanks a lot sir 😊 for taking the time to help me
I have the brand Mujinhua pigment liner pens I need to know how to refilling them
Great informative video. So I can use ANY of the inks you have listed?
Yes, and be sure to dilute!
I'm glad I happened upon this video, because I have some Pigma Microns that were somehow dried up when I bought them. I have a massive bottle of ink that I'll never be able to use up, so it may just become my pen refill ink.
Nice! That bottle of ink will save you a ton of money in the long term! Don't forget to check your pens every month to make sure they haven't dried up.
@@PopMhanComix hey, can we use Dr pH Martin Bombay indian ink for pigma micron?
Good video sir can you tell me about easy way to refill uniball pen and which type of ink used in uniball micro
Hey Tarek! I haven’t used Uniball Micro’s as much but they use a gel type ink for their pens. The ink is water based but it is a miraculous type ink. It’s thick like a... well, gel, but goes on thin on paper. You may have to buy an ink refill for it since I don’t really have a hack for gel ink at the moment. But I will look into it! Thanks! And thank you for watching!
@@PopMhanComix thanks sir today I use pelikan ink in my uniball needl by vacuum method I refill it
I solve a overall/general(similar) felt (nylon part) part of all pens problem !!!!
That is great! Would you share so we can learn as well?
YOUR NOT MY DAD LET ME BE A CAVEMAN
but thank you for saving me money
The nib of my pen is gone, any advice?? It's my first time using it so I still have difficulty on my control.
Tried sumi ink with a brush pen once and the tip crusted. Hope the alcohol does the trick next time. Thanks!
FW used to make an ink that was cut with ammonia for use in technical pens. i actually miss the smell of that ink.
Me too! You're absolutely right - and it's part of the reason I thought of cutting ink with alcohol. Many artists cut their ink with water instead. :)
👌👍
Hi! I have one question, I have some rotring radiographs that I used before for drawing manga but now that I want to use them again I want to know if the winsor and newton black india ink is adequate for refilling them? Thanks!!!
Thank you for watching! The Rotrings are a finicky bunch. Due to the hole in the opening that is very susceptible to drying out and not the core and felt nibs that markers have that make the Rotrings trickier to refill. The Winsor Newton should work fine provided 1) You water down the ink enough so there's a decent flow to the paper from the nib and the ink isn't too diluted. 2) That you clean the pen right after you use it. (You should do that anyways) but it's especially vital if you are not using the Rotring brand ink. Hope that answers your question. Hit me up if it's not clear or if you have any other questions! Thanks!
@@PopMhanComix Omg thank you so much!!! Well yeah, I used to buy rotring's ink but now I can't find ir anywhere! And in Amazon I found the winsor&newton black indian ink of 250ml at a very good price so I thought about getting that one. But in the box says that it contains shellac, so I don't know if you still recommend it. I also thought about dilute it with water but I've never done it before so I'm pretty much lost about it :( it would be amazing if you could explain it to me. And finally yes! Actually before I used to wash them every time I used them! Oh and finally, can you tell me some tips to unclock them? I'm sorry for the bible hahaha thank you so much!
@@tobukobuta A pleasure to answer questions! Now, please be advised, these are only my opinions and it's always better to use the brand name inks to refill the pen its meant for.
That said, diluting ink isn't too hard if you're careful. If you have a smaller bottle of ink, separate some ink out and add one or two drops of water into that bottle and test the consistency on a sheet of paper. If the ink is still dark and thick, add more drops of water until you get a decent mix of dark and runny ink. You'll have to experiment yourself to see which you like working with. But in general, my hunch is 6:1 ratio ink to water. Six drops of ink per one drop of water. Let me know if this ratio works for you!
Side note - runny ink won't damage your pen. Dried ink will clog and potentially damage your pen. Maybe I'll do a life hack to fix that as well in a future video
About how much ink (or, ink and water mixture) do you typically use for a refill on a single pen refill? (Also, great video! Thanks very much for making this. :) )
Ink this is old but did you figure it out?
Can i use rotring isograph ink to refill my unipin fineliner
My gut feeling is yes - you can refill as is, without diluting. Isograph ink is pretty nice stuff. Hard to go wrong with it. But if you're feeling not so confident, maybe dilute the ink with about 4 drops of water. Let me know how that works out, ok? Thanks!
@@PopMhanComix okay. I have ordered the ink. I will let you know how it works after i refill it. 😊
can I use pilot ink to refill my sakura pen micron?
I haven't yet, myself but if the viscosity isn't too thick then I say - why not? A note though, Pilot ink runs a bit blue when diluted. You might want to do a quick dilution test to see what the pigment color is for that Pilot ink before trying it out. Good luck! And thanks for commenting!
Good info! I've never thought of mixing a bit of water in the ink. As an older person, I have one suggestion for you --DON'T USE YOUR TEETH!! I'm saying this from experience. You only have one set of permanent teeth and it's expensive to replace or fix broken teeth!
Will not have nib issues for a long time !
is kuretake zig ink okay for refilling?
I haven't personally used it myself but from what I have used and played with, I say it's ok. However, do it at your own risk!
@@PopMhanComix i already bought the Winston Newton ink. what do you think?
Would you recommend dip pen inks or fountain pen ink?
I think dip pens have a greater range of versatility while fountain pens are easier to use. If you are just starting off, I say start off in beast mode and go dip pen. That way, you aren't stuck with fountain pen habits
Thanks for taking the time to speak to me. What I meant in the second question was can I use both types of ink (dip and fountain) to refill these pens or should I stay with dip pen ink?
Not so much the type of pen. I was asking about the type of INK (fountain INK or dip pen INK?)
@@cherylbormann3429 I don't know if I have a preference between the two but you have to do different things with them to use them in the Pigmas. A fountain pen's ink will already by diluted and as such, it would be a bit runny. If you could leave it to air dry a bit before fill your pen with it would be ideal. Maybe a day or two should suffice. For a dip pen ink, I'd cut it with a bit of water before filling. :)
@@PopMhanComix you are my hero! thank you again!
Can I use Dr ph Bombay black to refill microns?
Dr Ph Bombay is actually one of the better choices for refill ink. It's not as dark as some of the other "Premium" inks without first leaving it with the cap open for a couple of days, so it's a great choice for refilling Microns. Again, be aware that any ink you use will eventually clog the the felt nib due to the pigment of the ink, so it's a balancing game of viscosity versus flow versus maintaining the life of the felt nib and core. Maybe I'll do a how to bring your nib back to life again next. :)
@@PopMhanComix so you mean mix dilute a bit with water?
