How to use

To begin writing, remove the cap and hold the pen at a comfortable angle, allowing the nib to meet the paper with light pressure. If using cartridges, insert a cartridge into the section until it seats and punctures; if using a converter, attach the converter to the pen and draw ink from a bottle following the converter manufacturer's instructions. Replace the cap after use to protect the nib and reduce ink drying. Clean the nib and feed periodically with lukewarm water if you change ink colours or notice reduced flow.

Usage recommendations

Store the pen capped and horizontally or with the nib pointing upward when not in use for extended periods. Use high-quality fountain pen inks to avoid clogging and maintain consistent flow; perform routine gentle cleaning to preserve nib performance and finish.
