Disassemble your pen and flush the nib and feed with clean water. Use a bulb syringe to force water through the feed. Dry the parts thoroughly before reassembling.
It is best suited for pens in daily use. Avoid using it in pens that are rarely used, as it may clog the feed.
Any paper compatible with fountain pens should work. Consider using paper specifically designed for fountain pens to prevent feathering or bleed-through.
Store the ink bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed to prevent the ink from drying out.
First, try flushing the pen with water. If that doesn't work, soak the nib and feed in a pen flush solution (if available) or mild soapy water. Rinse thoroughly before reassembling.
Yes, it is waterproof and designed to be permanent once it dries.
Clean the pen thoroughly, including the nib and feed. Ensure the pen is properly filled and that the ink is flowing freely. If the pen has been unused for a while, a good flush with water might be needed.
This is likely not a problem caused by the ink itself, but rather the paper being used. Test on different paper types; some are more absorbent than others.
