INKTOBER HACK: How to refill your Pentel Color Brush Pen yourself with waterproof ink

One of my Pentel Color brush pens ran out of ink, and rather than throwing it out or buying a refill, I decided to try to refill it myself. I love the water based ink that's inside the brush, it's water soluble, and I can do nice wash effects with it. But since I already have 2 others identical pens, I decided to try a waterproof ink, and see if it works as well, without clogging the pen. I used the Platinum Carbon ink which is often used with fountain pens.
UPDATE 1: It's been about 2 weeks, and the ink is still flowing nicely, without clogging the pen.
UPDATE 2: It's now June 2019 and the ink still works very well. It didn't dry out, didn't clog the pen, and is flowing like on the first day.
If you like my art, here's where you can purchase it: sandrinesgalle...
If you'd like to send me some supplies to try out, please, don't hesitate. I'd be happy to make a review video.

Using a blunt needle will allow the air to escape so you don't get that messy bubble when you refill the cartridge.

@Sandrinesgallery 3 года назад

You're absolutely right. I have refilled it again with one and it was a breeze.

@moonram2569 5 лет назад

I have watched Teoh Yi Chie do this and it's a good hack !! And u can refill the Pentel pocket brush pen cartridge also with the same ink. Happy inking !!

@Sandrinesgallery 5 лет назад

I figured the Pentel Pocket would be pretty easy to refill without having to buy new cartridges.

@MalamikArt 5 лет назад

Interesting to see the ‘gasket’ in there. I haven’t taken mine apart yet. Now I don’t have to! Lol thanks for the tip!

@Sandrinesgallery 5 лет назад

You'll have to when you run out of ink, heehee!

@iswhatheis Месяц назад

Thank you so much!!! I didn't know I can use waterproof ink with these, such a good brush pen I've had for years but I've always wanted to use watercolor over it. I'm gonna try this with Bombay black ink

@matecatexe Год назад

Thank you so much!!!!!! The Pentel cartridges are stupidly priced where I live, so i bought a really fine ink. It has 4 times the capacity for a bit more than one cartridge. As i said, it's really liquidy, i hope it won't block the brush. Thanks again!

@Sandrinesgallery Год назад

It's probably going to be fine. What ink did you get?

@matecatexe Год назад

@@Sandrinesgallery It's fine. I've got a generic drawing ink at a shop and it is really good

@Sandrinesgallery Год назад

@@matecatexe Super! It's always nice to be able to use the inks you like with the tools you like, hehe!

@MartyYokawonis 2 года назад

You can take the brush end and push it and it will pop back and come out of the other open end of the barrel. And the brush assembly has a cap that comes off so you can flush it all out

@Sandrinesgallery 2 года назад

Thanks for the tips.

@IvyBrooke 5 лет назад

Really cool! I wouldn't have expected that to be on the inside of the cartridge... I could imagine how messy my desk and myself would be if I attempted this. Thanks for posting this cool video! :)

@Sandrinesgallery 5 лет назад

You're welcome Ivy. I think that when you know what to expect, you can just cover up your desk with newspapers, and you're good to go.

@sandrinesgallery Thank you very , very much for the updates on the use of Platinum Carbon ink. It's the only one I can find in my country amongst another ones that are indicated in another videos !

@Sandrinesgallery 10 месяцев назад

@MartyYokawonis 2 года назад

I have kuretake white brush pen and just cleaned the brush part and added white gouache and water to the tube to recharge the white ink.

@Sandrinesgallery 2 года назад

That's a great idea! Is it just as opaque as the original white ink? I love the white brush pen, but it gets clogged so easily.

@x-changex-outx-oner8224 5 лет назад

Great tutorial video. With the tube with only one opening, you might try using your syringe to force water into the tube (facing away from you) to help get some of the ink residue trapped at the bottom out. I do this with my fountain pen ink cartridges to clean them out (of course those are smaller and flush out fairly quickly). Remember, inky hands are happy hands.

@Sandrinesgallery 5 лет назад

That's a great tip. Thank you.

@IllustratorJones 3 года назад

You can buy blunt needle syringes on Amazon, quite cheap. The needle enters the body of the cartridge and stopes the bubble splat effect.

@Sandrinesgallery 3 года назад

Yep, that's what I did recently. It was so much easier and faster.

@KidHuevotes00 Год назад

After the big splatter you convinced me of buying a new cartridge. No ad from PENTEL could have convinced me like that, I felt like if you killed someone

@theartyone 4 года назад

Take out the flow regulator but keep the cap of the barrel and use rotring ink and enjoy. Keep it stored upright though as without the ink flow regulator it flows much more

@Sandrinesgallery 4 года назад

Thank you for the tip. I like the Rotring ink, I use it with a Rotring fountain pen. Is it thicker than the original one from the Pentel pen? Is that why you suggest removing the flow regulator? So far, with the Platinum Carbon Ink, the flow is lovely WITH the regulator. I think the ink is a bit thinner. AND, it's waterproof.

@theartyone 4 года назад

@@Sandrinesgallery it is thicker. I didn't think the rotring ink would work in any fountain pens as it's too thick. Rotring would be cheaper than the Platinum Carbon ink

@Sandrinesgallery 4 года назад

You might be right, but I must say, I don't use the Platinum in so much that I'll be running out soon. I don't mind paying for supplies that I know work well for me either.

@onose10000 Год назад

the ink bubble made me so anxious 😂

@Sandrinesgallery Год назад

Hehehe!

@Deectator 3 года назад

TIPS: remove the tube inside, just refill the body for more ink (8ml i think), put back the stopper without the tube then you'll have more ink and more flow.

@Sandrinesgallery 3 года назад

Thanks for the tip!

how many ml in total? a blunt needle would help, since that goes right to the bottom and allows air to escape while filling

@Sandrinesgallery 4 года назад

Sorry, I don't know how many ml it contains.

@suzannekeir3974 5 лет назад

Thanks for sharing, how do you store brush pens? I store mine in a container with the bristles up. Always wondered if this was a good ides. Kinda like how the best way to store markers is level, or flat (not in container). Thanks again

@Sandrinesgallery 5 лет назад

I'm not sure if it's the right way, but I store them also horizontally, like markers. I have them in a pencil box in a drawer.

@ronigoodmanart4459 6 месяцев назад

Have you posted a video with the update? How did it work after sitting for a while? Clogged? Did it continue to work long term? Thanks!

@Sandrinesgallery 6 месяцев назад

It still works. Never clogged even after not using it for several months. Of course, I've refilled it again, but never had a problem.

@ronigoodmanart4459 6 месяцев назад

@alit4566 3 года назад

Thank you for the video! It was really helpful, especially seeing some of the struggles in the video made me understand the process even better. Where I live, they don't sell refill cartridges, so could you please tell me how many times can I use the same cartridge without a problem? I mean, does it wear by time?

@Sandrinesgallery 3 года назад

You're very welcome! I think if anything, the brush might wear out eventually, but you should be able to use it for a long time.

my brush pen never worked that well, even brand new. it works like yours did when it was running out and you tested it at the beginning.

@Sandrinesgallery 5 лет назад

I would suggest, if you haven't tried yet, to squeeze the barrel until you see some ink flow in the see-through part, right before it reaches the bristles. I hope this helps.

Hey , please reply ..can we use Zig Kuretake Sumi ink for this brush pen?

@Sandrinesgallery 3 года назад

Sorry for the late reply. I don't know about the Kuretake Sumi ink. You need to make sure it's not going to clog the pen. So far I only tried the Platinum Carbon ink and it works very well. I've refilled it a couple of times and still use it to this day. I know that any ink with shellac in it wouldn't be recommended. That said, Kuretake Sumi Ink is water based pingment ink so it might work. If I had an extra empty brush pen, I would definitely try.

@Sandrinesgallery 2 года назад

There's no best ink, it depends on your preference. I like the Platinum Carbon ink because it flows very nicely, is waterproof and I haven't had any problems with clogging the bristles. I think as long as you use an ink that doesn't have any shellac, like some India inks might have, you should be fine.

@amritpalhh9836 Год назад

What other inks can you use ?

@Sandrinesgallery Год назад

Anything that won't clog the bristles. So any fountain pen ink should work, or ink that doesn't have shellac or sediments.

@teacherbojorquez6574 4 года назад

Do you think it will work with Indian ink?

@Sandrinesgallery 4 года назад

As long as it doesn't have shellac in it it should be fine. Shellac would clog the brush and prevent the ink from flowing.

@MartyYokawonis 2 года назад

Not if the ink is labelled as waterproof because they add shellac to the ink to make it dry.

@user-gk6bw1xz6y 2 года назад

So looking at the comments India ink does not work well for these brush pens?

@Sandrinesgallery 2 года назад

As long as it doesn't have shellac, it should be okay. The shellac would clog the bristles.

@user-gk6bw1xz6y 2 года назад

Do you have any recommendations waterproof ink /India ink which works on brush pens? Also I appreciate your response!

@MartyYokawonis 2 года назад

No india ink has an enamel solvent in the ink and it will coat and harden up inside the brush end

@mr.boombastic170 2 года назад

Can I use Parker ink

@Sandrinesgallery 2 года назад

I don't see why not. Parker inks are used with fountain pens, they are especially formulated so they do not clog the nibs. It should work well with the brush too, I think.
