Can I use this on surfaces other than paper?
The pen is specifically designed for use on paper. Using it on other surfaces may damage the nib.

Troubleshooting
Ink flow is intermittent or skipping
Ensure the cap is tightly closed for a few minutes while the pen sits flat, or gently shake the pen tip-down to restore flow.
Nib is fraying or splitting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Faber-Castell Pitt Calligraphy Pen, always replace the cap securely after each use to prevent the ink from drying out. Store the pen horizontally to maintain an even ink distribution toward the tip. This pen is specifically optimized for paper; avoid using it on rough, abrasive, or non-porous surfaces, as these can fray the nib and cause uneven ink flow.
