I use to refill the cartridge with a seringe and Staedtler ink for technical pens. I've been doing this for a while now and I can affirm that t won't ruin or clog the brush.
Ghost of Henry yes, in the long run it won’t “ruin” the brush per se, but I found it affected its performance in a way that interfered with my process. The ink flowed too fast and heavy, so I’d be left with puddles of ink in the lines. And it seemed to soften or loosen the bristles (it kind of lost its point). Could also just be the Rapidograph universal ink I was using. Ultimately, like with all art, it comes down to experimenting and personal preference. Glad to hear refilling your cartridges worked out for you! I might have to try the Staedtler ink. I’ve also read good things about Noodlers ink. But for now the Pentel ink works fine for me and what I do. Thanks for the watch and comment!
Thank you for this video. It was very helpful.

Thank you!!! Mine was entirely in Japanese, lol. You’re a lifesaver!
