They have calligraphy pens that you squeeze for ink. Just place the cap back on when you're done. The flow is always even, so very convenient. Will you be learning calligraphy art, like drawing bamboo trees and such? My lovely grandma-in-law (I call her "yasashii obaa-chan," which is in contrast to my wife's other grandma, whom I secretly call "urusai obaa-chan") taught me how to do some calligraphy painting. She's wonderful.
