Multi-ink pen kit?

[tijolima]

I recently had a customer request a pen that has both black and red ink available. Not the "teachers pen" with one on either end but both able to be advanced through the same end. You know the old style (I don't know if you can still find them) with the red, black and green individual clickers. Anyone know if a kit for such a beast exists out there? Thanks for the help.

Looking for something like these you can put red and black ink in at the same time?

Thanks! That looks exactly like what I need. I didn't realize PSI had such a thing.

I think Berea used to sell a kit like that. Don't know if they still do or not??

I've never made this kit. But I'm thinking it might work as well.

That's a pen/pencil kit, not two colors of ink....and I'm having problems with that particular kit right now. CSUSA has been helpful in resolving the problem. We'll see as soon as the new inserts arrive.

Be careful with this kit... it's touchy to get just right.... makes a cool pen when you do get it right...

So what is the touchy part? I plan to make a demo for this customer to see if it is what she is looking for and would be happy to avoid pitfalls as I am able. Do you have any hints or tips? Thanks, TimP
