Sorry I can't help you, I bought it as a gift for someone and I don't know if they have purchased any refills yet.

Hi Molly- I use Fisher Space Ball Point Refills for this pen. I saw that someone else suggested using Fisher and thought I'd give it a try. So glad I did! Because I'd been so disappointed with Zebra refills for quite some time. My favorite pens (Zebra) were suddenly turning my journals into a dotted, blotchy mess. There's just an even flow of ink while writing with Fisher refills that Zebra simply doesn't have anymore. I have no idea why the Zebra refills tend to leave blots now, resulting in pages of speckled writing (if that makes sense.) It's incredibly annoying. I even switched from the Zebra 301 (my forever trusted favorite) to the F402 pen to see if that would make any difference. It did not. I loved the fine point that came with the steel pen. The glide of the pen across most any paper is amazing. But again the blotchy spots ruin it for me. And perhaps it's just me and the ridiculous standard I have for a writing instrument. I don't know. The Fisher refill is not quite as fine as the one that comes with the Zebra steel pen. But it's still a reasonably fine point. Should you go with Fisher refills, be aware that your Zebra Steel pen won't click and retract normally. In other words, it won't. Or at least mine don't. But that doesn't bother me at all. I have four of the Zebra Steel pens. And I love them...with Fisher refills! I hope my Chronicles of Zebra (sorry) help you select something that suits your specific needs. I feel like a total Amazon dork right now. I hardly ever write reviews. I know. How selfish.

I have to agree with Barbara. If they are under warranty and you have only used OEM inks in them and they are experiencing problems with the OEM inks then Epson should take care of them. There may be a problem if you have been using aftermarket cartridges in them.When I said refillables I was talking about cartridges that I use a 10cc syringe to fill from bulk ink containers.

I have not had this problem. Check that you have installed it correctly. Check for obvious defects. If all else fails, try the 2nd refill. Good luck...

I haven't had that problem. On one occasion had a cartridge where the "black" wasn't as dark as I would have wanted. I had another occasion where a cartridge arrived broken and used. The seller sent out new ones expedited shipping. Have had no problems with that purchase.

My pen just ran out too. I was going to go to Staples and compare the pen insert to the refills available. It looks very close to a Parker refill.

I have never had this problem. Be sure that the Epson ink is genuine! Do not buy generic ink for your printer. MCM

I had the same issue with one of the cartridges. I assume it's the chance one takes with super cheap ink. I did order more and if it has a problem again, I'll just pony up for the full-priced stuff.

Yeah they worked great for me. I didn't get any duds. They write in black ink. You can see the tube of black ink in the middle of the pen that's like any other ball point pen.

I haven't had trouble with this ink. The pen i use it in isn't even a very high quality, but still no problems. It may vary from pen to pen so just make sure yours does not have any special ink restrictions by the manufacturer. Other than this I seriously doubt you will have any problems. The ink seems to be less likely to clog than traditional black ink.

I have not had this issue. We are using the isi branded refills. If you are following directions then you may want to return it.

I have slightly enlarged a few to refill.. But stopped. I found that my Canon Chip resetter (Amazon $6) didn't always reset on some used units. Besides I buy Amazon Cartridges so cheap, it's not worth getting Ink all over my fingers & sink cleanup (for a few pennies) They're so cheap, & good Canon ink isn't free. 1 vendor's case for my MG5220 B wouldn't fit.. ( I wouldn't waste 46 cents to mail it back to Amazon) since all the other carts were OK since I bought extras. Suggest you try 2 different Amazon suppliers to validate their quality to see what works for you!

As far as I know, the cartridges are no longer beeing made so with luck, ebay might be the place. I use the charge pump on the pen. At times it might get messy, but I allways have a full pen. Hope it helped.

No issues so far. I have used at least 3 sets of these inks without problems.

Just completed installation of my 5th WF-3540. Had no problems with the generic ink. I have been buying them for more than a year.

I bought pen like this and had no problem with it. I have used international cartridges from Waterman. You could try to boil water and pour over the point.
