How to maintain your pen
Fountain pens work through capillary action – the ink is drawn through the nib via surface tension. To ensure that the nib and feed do not become obstructed by dust, dried ink etc., it is best to clean your pen every 1-2 months or when switching from one type of ink to another.
To clean your pen:
1. Disassemble your pen
Unscrew the barrel and remove the converter / cartridge from your pen.
2. Flush out the grip section
Hold the grip section under running water for a few seconds.
3. Soak the grip section
Place the grip section in a container of clean water. Allow it to soak for
an hour. If there is a lot of ink in the water, discard and replace the
water. Repeat until the water remains clean.
4. Dry the grip section
You should allow the section to dry completely. It’s best to leave it
overnight to ensure that all water is removed. For best results wrap the
grip section in a paper towel and put it nib down in a cup or container. Once the grip section is completely dry you can reassemble your pen.
