Care & Use

Regular Cleaning: Clean your fountain pen every 4-8 weeks to prevent ink build-up. Disassemble the pen and flush it with cool water until the water runs clear.
Use Appropriate Ink: Only use ink specifically designed for fountain pens. Using incompatible ink can clog the nib and damage the pen.
Store Horizontally or Nib Up: Store your fountain pen horizontally or with the nib facing up to prevent ink from pooling in the nib and causing leaks.
Avoid Hard Pressure: Fountain pens require minimal pressure to write. Applying too much pressure can damage the nib.
Keep Cap On: Always cap your fountain pen when not in use to prevent the nib from drying out and to protect it from damage.
Flush with Water for Color Changes: When changing ink colors, flush the pen with water to avoid color mixing and clogging.
Use Suitable Paper: Write on high-quality, smooth paper designed for fountain pens to prevent feathering and bleed-through.
Avoid Dropping the Pen: Dropping a fountain pen can misalign or damage the nib. Handle it with care.
