One of the most eco-friendly aspects of owning a fountain pen is the fact that you don't throw away the pen after the ink runs dry. You simply refill it again. How to refill it depends on the particular filling system of the pen. To the uninitiated, this might seem daunting. Like figuring out what part will fix a leaky faucet. As this video will prove, it's much easier than that.

Most fountain pens manufactured today use the convenience of the cartridge/converter filling system, giving the writer a choice between installing pre-filled ink cartridges or filling from bottled ink. As you explore different brands of fountain pens, you may encounter different types of filling mechanisms.

This is a visual guide to explain the most common fountain pen filling systems, how they work, and the pros & cons of each.
