HOW TO USE YOUR FOUNTAIN PEN

• This pen uses standard international standard short cartridges. It can also use ink converters that will fit in international standard short cartridge-compatible pens.

REPLACING THE INK CARTRIDGE IN YOUR FOUNTAIN PEN

• Remove the cap of the fountain pen and set it aside

• Unscrew the black tip assembly and carefully remove it from the pen body—the ink cartridge will come with it

• Gently pull the empty ink cartridge out of the tip assembly and discard it

• Place the new ink cartridge into the tip assembly and press it FIRMLY into the assembly. It will click into place

• Insert the tip assembly, ink cartridge first, into the body of the pen and screw it back on

TROUBLESHOOTING

• Writing with a fountain pen should be as easy as writing with a ballpoint. If ink is not flowing consistently, the pen won’t write, or the pen is skipping, there may be an issue that needs addressing.

• If the pen won’t write, try these solutions:

  • Make sure the ink cartridge isn’t empty—if it is, refill it with a new one

  • Gently stroke the fountain nib along a damp paper towel until ink flows

  • Quickly dip the entire tip of the pen into water, then immediately blot it on a paper towel

• If the pen is skipping while writing, it may be a hardware issue. You can contact us and ship your pen back, where I’ll inspect and fix it. You can fix the standard nib by gently grinding it on micromesh sanding pads, but be careful!
