refillable pen

Ink-replenishable writing tool

A refillable pen accepts replacement ink cartridges or can be filled from a bottle, extending its life beyond a single use.

The term distinguishes these from disposable pens designed to be discarded when empty: I switched to refillable pens to reduce plastic waste.

Fountain pens, rollerballs, and many ballpoints are refillable.
