10 Essential Tips for Maintaining Fountain Pens
Drawing from Stipula's expertise, here’s a guide to keep your fountain pens in top shape:
1. Regular Cleaning: Wash your pen every few weeks and whenever you change ink colors.
2. Use the Right Water: Clean with cold or tepid, demineralized water to avoid particles that may clog the pen.
3. Avoid Damaging Liquids: Never use hot water, alcohol, or solvents, as they can irreparably damage your pen.
4. Effective Cleaning: If your pen uses a cartridge or converter, fill and empty it with water until clear. Soak the nib section if necessary.
5. Storage Precautions: Before storing your pen for long periods, empty and clean it thoroughly.
6. Choose Suitable Paper: Avoid chemically treated, slick paper that doesn’t absorb ink well and can clog the nib.
7. Travel Tips: When flying, keep your pen full or empty and stored vertically with the nib pointing up to prevent leaks.
8. Personal Use Only: Don’t lend your pen, as the nib adapts to your writing style, affecting its performance with others.
9. Proper Storage: Store your pen vertically with the nib upward to prevent ink from settling and clogging.
10. Reviving Your Pen: If your pen doesn’t write after prolonged inactivity, clean the nib with water or refill it with the same ink color. If necessary, soak in tepid water.
Using these tips, you can ensure your fountain pen remains a reliable and enjoyable writing instrument.
