A marking pen, comprising: a shaft cylinder; a porous pen core accommodated in the shaft cylinder, and configured to project from, and retract into, an opening part provided at a tip end of the shaft cylinder; an inner cotton accommodated in the shaft cylinder, and filled with an aqueous ink composition to be fed to the pen core, the aqueous ink composition including a water soluble organic solvent in an amount of from 20 mass % to 60 mass %; and a delivery mechanism configured to cause a tip end of the pen core to project from, and retract into, the opening part.

A coloring tablet may have excellent solubility and redispersibility and a water-based ink composition for a writing instrument. Such a coloring tablet may contain at least a colorant and a dispersing agent. The dispersing agent may include a hydroxide neutralization product of an (meth)acrylic resin, a hydroxide neutralization product of a styrene-maleic acid copolymer resin, a polyoxyethylene-based surfactant, an alkyl condensed ring sulfonate, an amine ethylene oxide propylene oxide adduct, and/or a isobutylene-based polymer.

An aqueous peelable ink composition comprising at least one film-forming elastomeric polymer, at least one pigment, and water, wherein the film-forming elastomeric polymer is hydrogenated acrylonitrile butadiene rubber, and a method for preparing such an aqueous peelable ink composition.

A device for filling cartridges for a writing implement, the device including at least two separate connectors, a system for metering inks and a system for filling a cartridge, each connector being configured to connect a reservoir containing an ink to the cartridge. The invention also concerns an assembly comprising a device as previously defined and a plurality of ink reservoirs, each ink reservoir being connected to a connector of the device and a method for filling a cartridge using such an assembly.
