Default To those who have actually refilled a Copic...

do I need any special tools to do it and do I have to replace the nib or can I use the same one.

Go to the Copic website. It will give you directions. You basically use tweezers to pull the nib out and then fill the barrel with the ink refill. If your nib does not need replacing, you should be able to put it back into place. The barrels have so much ink in them that I can't imagine anyone needing to refill their inks any time soon.

I just use my fingers.....lol

I pull out the broad nib and drip the reinker in. Put the nib back in. Open up both caps for a minute and the ink will settle into both sides.

I've only had to refill my colorless blender a green I use for grass all the time and a blue that I use for sky. Everything else is in great shape.

At my LSS they refilled one in front of me and they had a special syringe to do it without taking the nib out

I use my Warm Gray #1 for shadows and unfortunately it is dry :(. The others seem wet enough to last forever, but I am sure they won't! Thanks for the tips!

When I demonstrated how to use the airbrush I also demonstrated how to refill the markers. You can check out the video here:

Basically you only need to add in about 2 lines of the refiller. I used the needle, but you don't need to. It did take me a couple tries to get the hang of it.

I have to admit that I dread the day I have to refill one of these precious little things!

You can also just take the reinker and slowly drip up to 20 drops on to the tip of the marker. It absorbs the ink in to the cartridge and this way you don't need to pull or insert anything.

Thank you Jeanne...just put in an order at EclecticPaperie, but you can bet it will be on my list for next time!

Thanks for all the tips ladies...my refill is on it's way so I am anxious to give it a try when it arrives. Found your video very informative too, Curias...thanks for sharing~
