Ink bag, also known as card ink tube or ink bag, is a small tube of prepared ink, which is easy to operate when inking. To install the ink bag, first align the opening of the ink bag with the back of the pen handle. Press the ink bag into the back end of the pen holder and pierce the opening of the ink bag. Put down the nib and let the ink reach the nib through the capillary. It may take an hour or two.
Ink feeder, also known as ink absorber, is the principle of reducing the internal air pressure by mechanical operation, so as to suck up ink. The method of installing the ink roller is the same as that of installing the ink bag. When inking, it is necessary to immerse the nib in the ink bottle of the pen until the nib and the front of the handle are completely immersed. There are two kinds of common ink rollers, namely piston ink roller and extrusion ink roller. The piston type absorbs ink through the knob device, while the extrusion type can absorb ink only by hand pressure.
