How to use
Install a compatible black ink cartridge by unscrewing or removing the pen cap and inserting the cartridge into the section until it clicks or seats firmly, 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 for smooth, consistent lines. Cap the pen when not in use to prevent the nib from drying out.
Usage recommendations
Use Caran d\`Arche-approved or compatible black ink cartridges to ensure reliable flow and avoid leakage. Store the pen horizontally or with the nib up if unused for extended periods. Clean the nib and feed occasionally according to cartridge-to-converter instructions if switching ink types.
