Troubleshooting
Pen not writing or skipping
Ensure the ink cartridge is properly seated or the converter is full. Flush the nib and feed with water to remove any dried ink. Check for any blockages in the feed.
Ink leaking from the nib or section
Check that the barrel is securely screwed onto the section. Ensure the cartridge or converter is properly fitted. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Cap difficult to screw on/off
Ensure there are no ink residues or debris on the threads. Gently try to align the threads before screwing. If persistent, inspect threads for damage.
Ink flow is too light or too heavy
This can depend on the ink used. Try a different ink with a known flow characteristic. For very light flow, a gentle flush might help. For very heavy flow, ensure the nib isn't damaged.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Kaweco Dia 2 Fountain Pen uses standard international ink cartridges. To fill, unscrew the barrel from the section, insert an international ink cartridge firmly until it pierces the seal, and then screw the barrel back on. Allow a few minutes for the ink to flow to the nib. Alternatively, a compatible converter (sold separately) can be used for bottled ink.
Compatibility: This pen is compatible with all standard international ink cartridges and most standard international fountain pen converters.
Care: To maintain the pen's condition, clean it regularly by flushing the nib and section with cool water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning materials. If using bottled ink, a converter allows for easier flushing. Dry the pen thoroughly before storing or refilling. The acrylic barrel can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. The aluminum and brass parts can be polished gently with a soft cloth if needed.
