How to use

Insert the chosen nib into the holder until it seats securely; ensure the nib’s shank is aligned with the holder’s grip to prevent wobble. Dip the nib into ink to the recommended depth, wipe excess ink on a blotter or the bottle rim, and begin writing or drawing using light pressure for fine lines and increased pressure for broader strokes where appropriate. After use, clean the nibs with water or a suitable pen cleaner and dry them thoroughly before storage to prevent corrosion and maintain performance.

Usage recommendations

Use inks formulated for dip nibs and test on scrap paper to establish optimal pressure and ink flow for each nib. Store the nibs in a dry place and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. Replace nibs when wear affects line quality to maintain consistent results.
