How to use

Before refilling, ensure the pen nib and feed are clean to avoid contamination. Open the glass bottle and draw ink into the converter or syringe according to the fountain pen manufacturer's instructions, then carefully transfer the ink to the pen reservoir. Wipe excess ink from the nib and section with a lint-free cloth or tissue and securely close the bottle after use. If switching inks or performing maintenance, flush the pen with clean water until it runs clear.

Usage recommendations

Use on standard fountain-pen-friendly papers to achieve optimal flow and drying; test on a scrap sheet before extensive use. Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place and keep the cap tightly closed to preserve colour and prevent evaporation. Clean pens regularly when using dye-based inks to maintain reliable performance.
