The Sensa Meridian comes with its some cartridges of Sensa ink. Does anyone know who makes their ink?

Exactly a year to the day after asking, it is mostly likely way too late to point out that on Sensa's web page, "HOW TO OPERATE & WARRANTY" they say to, "Ask for the Sensa refill by Fisher".

True, but I'm fairly certain that refill is a Fisher space pen refill for the ballpoint model. I've wondered about the Sensa fountain pen ink as well, but never got motivated enough to post a question (or do the background research myself).

Finding nothing on the cartridges or packaging, in the owner's manual or other printed material, I called 1-800-BEST-PEN and reached the Parker Waterford support line. A "Oh, you want Sensa?" transfer and a little gentle insistence later, I was told that Sensa makes their own ink, that it's only available in cartridges, that they can be obtained from Sky Sailing (http://sensaonline.com/) and come in black or blue 12-packs for $4.00.

Well, there you go I guess. I'm not sure I believe them, but that's fine.

Thanks for putting in the leg-work on this, AJZ0!

is there anything notable about these inks? I have been emptying them out (into a mystery-mix eyedropper) to make them empty and available for syringe-filling with more-colorful bottled inks.

Not especially, at least not to me. It was just an in-passing curiosity; that's why I didn't pursue it very actively. The carts I have are a nice-enough black, but nothing special.
