Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs

A:
Use inks labeled specifically for fountain pens. Dye-based inks are generally easy to handle and less likely to clog.
While pigment and shimmer inks may sometimes be used, they dry out faster and carry a risk of clogging the pen's interior. Therefore, their use is at your own risk. We recommend using a medium nib or broader, and ensuring regular cleaning. With proper care, you can enjoy a variety of expressions.
A:For daily use, we recommend rinsing your pen with water once every 1–2 weeks; even with less frequent use, once a month is advisable. If you use pigment or shimmer ink, be sure to clean the pen on the same day. Regular care is essential to ensure your writing instrument remains comfortable to use for a long time.
A:Ink can leak due to changes in air pressure. It's best to either fill the ink completely or empty it before boarding. When not in use, carry it nib-up and make sure the cap is tightly closed. A little care can protect your valuable writing instrument.
A: The paper you use affects how the nib feels. If it feels scratchy, first try smoother paper. If it doesn't improve, the nib may have slight imperfections, so please feel free to contact us.
A:
Empty the ink, rinse thoroughly, and let it dry before storage. Keep the pen nib-up in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Proper storage helps maintain your pen’s quality over time.
A:Cartridges are disposable ink capsules that simply click into place—quick and convenient, especially for use on the go. Converters, on the other hand, let you draw ink from a bottle, giving you access to a wider variety of colors and a deeper experience of fountain pen use. They require a bit more effort, but offer more flexibility and personality. Both are great options depending on your writing lifestyle.
