Care Instructions

Filling/Changing Ink Colours:

Unscrew to remove the barrel from the grip section and access the converter.
Place the fountain pen nib fully into warm water. Flush the nib by twisting/untwisting the converter until the water runs clear.
Allow 1 day to dry.
Fill a new colour by fully submerging the nib and feeder into the ink, then draw the ink into your pen but twisting the converter until you’ve reached the top position.

Notes:

For heavily saturated inks and darker tones, or clogged nibs, you may need to soak the grip/feeder in water overnight
It is normal for some air bubbles to enter the converter when refilling ink
