I purchased a calligraphy kit from Barnes & Noble today. It came with 2 pens, one of which was a quill type pen. There are also 5 different ink cartridges. They are small, maybe around 1.5" in length and full of ink. I am sure that these have to be punctured some way and inserted into the pen which unscrews in the middle. I am just unsure of how to go about puncturing this and putting it in without making a mess.

I have this nib that you guys are referring to, however, there's nothing inside the pen for it to press against to puncture its self. If you could refer me to a site that shows an illustration of this perhaps I could see how it works. Im just afraid of making a big mess with this and I dont want to waste all my ink.

Usually there is a narrower end, often with a nipple or raised rim on it. This is loaded into the barrel facing up, then the nib end is screwed down and pierces it on its own.

If you are speaking about the plastic cartridges, the pen that takes them has a hollow tube that is cross cut to pierce the cartridge (much like a gaged piercer's needle). You just puncture the end, and the cartridge will stay adhered to that part (that also consists of the tip).

The bottle should be all the way open. Al you have to do is just dip the tip of the pen in the ink and start writting. You should keep the pen pointy at the end and don't let the sides get to wide

The pen nib will puncture it when it is screwed on. Dont try to puncture it prior to that.
