3.1 Writing Posture and Grip

Hold the pen comfortably between your thumb and forefinger, resting it on your middle finger. Avoid applying excessive pressure, as a fountain pen is designed to write smoothly with minimal effort. Let the ink flow naturally.

To uncap, gently pull the cap straight off. To cap, align the cap and push it gently until it seats securely. Avoid twisting the cap forcefully, as this can cause wear over time. Always cap your pen when not in use to prevent the nib from drying out.

3.3 Ink Flow

If the ink flow is inconsistent, ensure the pen is adequately inked. If using a converter, a slight twist of the piston can push ink to the feed. For cartridges, ensure it is fully seated. If the issue persists, a gentle cleaning may be required (see Section 4.1).

Regular cleaning is crucial for maintaining optimal performance and preventing ink clogs, especially when changing ink colors or if the pen has been unused for an extended period.

1. Empty any remaining ink from the converter or remove the ink cartridge.
2. Flush the nib and feed section with cool, clean water. Use the converter to draw and expel water repeatedly until the water runs clear.
3. For a more thorough cleaning, you can soak the nib and feed section in cool water for a few hours or overnight.
4. Allow the pen to air dry completely before reassembling and refilling with ink.

• No Ink Flow: Check if the cartridge is fully punctured or the converter is securely seated and filled. The nib might be clogged; clean the pen as described in Section 4.1.
• Excessive Ink Flow or Leaking: Ensure all parts are securely tightened. Using a different ink might help if the current ink is too thin. If the problem persists, contact customer support.
