- Your fountain pen.
- Ink compatible with your pen (in cartridges/converter or bottle).
- A small amount of warm water.
- A soft, absorbent cloth (regular kitchen paper will do).
- Test paper.
Step 2: Initial charge of the pen
If this is your first time using the pen or you haven't used it for a long time, it's important to do an initial fill to make sure the ink flows well and the nib hasn't become clogged with dried ink.
- Unscrew the top of the pen, where the nib is located.
- Remove any empty cartridges or converters that may be attached.
- Rinse the nib with warm water and a little mild soap to remove any residue or dried ink. Make sure to rinse it only with water afterwards.
- Dry gently with a clean, soft cloth.
