This is the bomb! Thank you! I use these pens for illustration and love them so much, but have been bothered by having to toss them when they get dry and sad.
Thank you for sharing your video. Which ink did you use in the video? Was it water-based pigment ink like the label on the tombow brush pen? Where can I buy the ink? I’m new to lettering handwriting calligraphy. Thank you for your help.
I have a bottle of Speedball dense black waterproof India ink...Would that be ok. I have three pens waiting to be restored. I'm so glad that it can be done!!! Thanks for sharing this video.
This is super🎉. Will putting some other color ink like red in the same pen ( which once had black pen) work?? Basically can this trick be used to refill with " not just the black ink" but any color ink
I have never tried with a dropper but you can test it! The little sponge should suck the ink drops fast, if it doesn't then I think it would too hard for it to get saturated.
Hello! Is it required to be the same color? I used a blue whiteboard ink to refill my black tombow fudenosuke brush pen and the ink seems to go in at first but then when you start to use it, it came out in bulk as if they're both insoluble to each other!
Wow another way to save my Tombow pen to refill Thanks for the tip by the way what kind of ink do you prefer for Tombow any brand will or indian inks are not suitable?
thank you, idk why they don't give us refills, with the environment and plastic trash crisis we have now .... i know the barrel is made from recycled plastic though so i guess it's pretty good, i hope they'll sell us the refill someday anyway
Fountain pen ink is too watery. The best inks to use are the sumi or indian inks, those cheap generic ones will do just fine. And yes when you are done just shut the back into the pen again until it click. I particularly don't fully close it because I keep opening to refill and when you open it you put aome pressure on the plastic, so I leave it a little loose.
I use sumi ink or indian ink, that very generic black ink, very cheap. I think fountain pen ink is too watery to mix with the little ink left in the cartridge of the pen and it could make a mess when writing, come out all blotchy. When I have one that is old I will try and see how the ink reacts.
do you know what type of tip does your tombow have? I am looking to get one for sketching but dont know if i should get broad tip or fine tip. thanks a lot!!
The one I use in the video is the firm nib for the Tombow fudenosuke pen. The blue body one. The firm nib is better for brush calligraphy training and I assume also for sketching. There is another Tombow fudenosuke pe with the green body that is the soft nib... same size. When I sketch I don't use brush pens tho, I use fineliners like the Sakura pigma micron pens, or the Unipin fineliners.
Whrn I train every day for about 20 minutes writing and writing, the original ink from the pen lasts a month... refilled like I shoed in the video seems to last about the same amount of time, but you can keep refilling it.
It is actually the contrary. If you put dye based inks in it, it won't work, it will be too watery and come out in blotches. It has to be sumi ink or indian ink.
The new pen with the original ink lasts about a month if you train every day for about 20 minutes. The refill I show in the video lasts about the same.
You can refill them, sure, but eventually the tip will wear down with use. I toss them out, which is always bittersweet. I hate the waste but I get a new pen!!
lol, I kept buying this brush pen 5 times because I thought it couldn't be refilled. thank you, this is very helpful 😆😆
This is the bomb! Thank you! I use these pens for illustration and love them so much, but have been bothered by having to toss them when they get dry and sad.
It’s pointless because the nibs wear out.
Thank you so much for this video!! I’ve been trying to reduce my waste :) thank you
Please..give a review how to refill of tombow dual brush pen water based.
Thanks for this. I just got two of these for drawing.
That`s amazing! keep it up
This is so helpful god bless you and thanks for the tip if you have poured extra ink in the brush pen
I like the ‘dry and scratchy’ effect of the pen that’s dryingbout
Thank you for sharing your video. Which ink did you use in the video? Was it water-based pigment ink like the label on the tombow brush pen? Where can I buy the ink? I’m new to lettering handwriting calligraphy. Thank you for your help.
Hey! The ink I used is sumi ink. You can also use indian ink. The very generic black ink you can find would do.
Ow, thanks, I was just gonna replace 4 of my favorite tombows🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Excelente video, claro y entendible. I liked!

It really worked
Same with the mircons brush pen??
Hi. Thanks for this video. Should i clean with hot water the syringe point or the inside it to avoid the ink drying inside?
Very helpful video, thanks a lot
Do you have to use a syringe or can you use a dropper that comes with some inks
I have never tried with a dropper but you can test it! The little sponge should suck the ink drops fast, if it doesn't then I think it would too hard for it to get saturated.

Wow, I have never used another color. I always do that with my black ink pens and that has always worked. Good to know!
Wow! Thanks
Wow another way to save my Tombow pen to refill Thanks for the tip by the way what kind of ink do you prefer for Tombow any brand will or indian inks are not suitable?
Any sumi or indian cheap black ink, that very generic one... will do.
Hi there, I am wondering: Can this refill method be used with "Indian Ink"?
can you make a video for tombow drawing pen refill?
Which drawing pen are you talking about?
Really helpful!!
大変素晴らしい。本国でも広めます。
Is it possible to open dual brush pen too?
Any pen as long as you manage to open it up.
Is that a Calligraphy ink ?
And what is the ink called in india?
Sme one pls tell
you could go for rotaring ink...its available in amazon...its cheap and water proof and dries fast ..I use it for my copic multiliner sp pen
Those really cheap black inks like sumi ink or indian ink... nothing fancy.
Just don't use watery inks like liquid watercolors or fountain pen inks.
Hooray! Mmmkay!
thank you, idk why they don't give us refills, with the environment and plastic trash crisis we have now .... i know the barrel is made from recycled plastic though so i guess it's pretty good, i hope they'll sell us the refill someday anyway
waah, thank you for the video, it's very usefull!
Can we use fountain pen ink? and when you will open the back tip then can you shut it?
Fountain pen ink is too watery. The best inks to use are the sumi or indian inks, those cheap generic ones will do just fine. And yes when you are done just shut the back into the pen again until it click. I particularly don't fully close it because I keep opening to refill and when you open it you put aome pressure on the plastic, so I leave it a little loose.
Can you refill with India ink or other inks if you can’t afford it?
Can we use normal fountain pen ink or is there any permanent ink Available
I use sumi ink or indian ink, that very generic black ink, very cheap. I think fountain pen ink is too watery to mix with the little ink left in the cartridge of the pen and it could make a mess when writing, come out all blotchy. When I have one that is old I will try and see how the ink reacts.

Thank you!!!!
What kind of inks I can use for it?
I use those chinese inks you get really cheap. Any ink will do as longs as it isn't watercolor
How long u use it before it's ink run out ?
Whrn I train every day for about 20 minutes writing and writing, the original ink from the pen lasts a month... refilled like I shoed in the video seems to last about the same amount of time, but you can keep refilling it.
Can we use the ink which we put in the printer cartridge?
I don't think printer ink or toner would work. The ink I have used there is that very cheap generic sumi ink or indian ink...
Can use refill from cartridge ink?
That I wouldn't know
May I know the brand of ink used??
u should try the pilot ink refill, that is so good i swear
@@honeychelle3871 Can we use Parker Quink?
@@mitanshi.sheth2109 no
@@honeychelle3871 ohh... Why?
@@mitanshi.sheth2109 dye based need pigmented
I tried calligraphy ink and it was not working the nip is nit generating ink
Any ink can be used?
It's best to use ink made for fountain pens (dye-based ink.) Pigmented/'Indian' ink isn't recommended because it can clog over time
It is actually the contrary. If you put dye based inks in it, it won't work, it will be too watery and come out in blotches. It has to be sumi ink or indian ink.
can i refill it with any type of ink??
Watery inks like liquid watercolors or fountain pen inks won't work.
The best inks are those generic cheap sumi inks or india ink.
after how many months will the ink run out when we buy it new
The new pen with the original ink lasts about a month if you train every day for about 20 minutes. The refill I show in the video lasts about the same.
Ink name?
Please advice ink brands
Those really cheap black inks like sumi ink or indian ink... nothing fancy.
Just don't use watery inks like liquid watercolors or fountain pen inks.
Which ink did u use??

They're less than 2 bucks each. Stop being cheap and buy new pens.
Thank you!
