Could someone provide a link to where I could get some replacement ink/cartridges? Also, to the Massdrop staff - do the two pens come individually gift wrapped?

hearfhttp://www.gouletpens.com/ has all the ink you could ever want. Great company, and they have a "swab shop" which shows you comparisons of all the inks.

hearfThanks for joining the drop. They come in their own separate case. We don't gift wrap things, yet.

andyOh it says gift box in the description. Regardless, I'm still in the drop. Any chance you could post a picture of the box that each pen comes in? Also regarding the ink - how much usage do you think I'd get on the ink that comes with the pen? In other words, should I get extra ink because it'll run out quickly? I know it'll depend on my usage, but I'm wondering if I should be prepared with extra..

hearfIf you're concerned with cartridges running out, you can always use the converter and buy some ink. Noodler's makes some good stuff for under $20:
http://www.amazon.com/Noodlers-Ink-4-5Oz-Heart-Darkness/dp/B0015VB4EE/ Not affiliated with them, just a satisfied user. I've had 4.5 ozs of this particular color for over a year, and I'm nowhere near finished with the bottle.

If you're using the pen? No. But if you're thinking about gifting it, I think so.
