How to use

Open the pen barrel or unscrew the section as indicated, insert a compatible ink cartridge until it clicks into place, then reassemble the pen. Allow a few seconds for the ink to flow to the nib before writing. Hold the pen at a comfortable angle and apply gentle pressure—fountain pens typically require less force than ballpoint pens. To replace the cartridge, remove the empty cartridge and dispose of it according to local waste guidelines, then insert a new one following the same steps.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, use cartridges recommended for standard international cartridge-fitted fountain pens; store the pen capped when not in use to prevent the nib from drying out. Clean the nib and section occasionally if you change ink colors or if flow appears inconsistent.
