Fountain pens

Basic care and maintenance instructions:

Care of your fountain pen

  • Do not allow ink to dry out in the nib, as this will reduce and eventually stop the flow of ink.
  • Wash the nib occasionally after use as follows: Remove the ink cartridge then hold the nib under lukewarm running water. Dry it carefully with paper tissue.
  • Use Manuscript European size ink cartridges
  • Never use waterproof or pigmented inks, which will clog your pen.
  • Do not drop or knock your pen against a hard surface. To avoid accidental damage, replace the cap after use.
  • Always carry a fountain pen with the nib pointing upwards.
