Troubleshooting
Pen is not writing or skipping
Ensure the ink cartridge is fully seated or the converter is properly filled. Clean the nib and feed with water to remove any dried ink or debris. Check that the correct ink type is being used.
Ink flow is too heavy or blotchy
Allow excess ink to drip onto a paper towel. Ensure the nib is clean and dry. If using a converter, ensure it is not overfilled.
Nib feels scratchy
Gently try to align the tines if they appear misaligned. Writing on smoother paper can also help. If the scratchiness persists, consider replacing the nib using the "Easy-Change-System".
Cap is difficult to remove or put on
Check the inside of the cap for any obstruction. Ensure the pen body is clean. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ink Insertion: If using cartridges, uncap the pen, remove any pre-installed cartridge (if applicable), and insert a standard international ink cartridge firmly into the ink feed until it clicks or seals. If using a converter, insert it into the ink feed and then fill it with ink from a bottle.
- Priming the Nib: You may need to gently prime the feed by holding the nib downwards for a few moments or by gently touching the tip to absorbent paper to encourage ink flow.
Compatibility:
- Ink: Compatible with all international standard ink cartridges and ONLINE's own Combi ink cartridges. Can also be used with bottled ink via a converter (converter not included).
- Paper: Performs well on most standard paper types. For best results, use quality paper to minimize feathering or bleed-through.
- Nib System: Features ONLINE's "Easy-Change-System" for different nib types (sold separately).
Care:
- Cleaning: To clean, flush the nib and feed with cool water. For a deeper clean, use a pen flush solution. Ensure the pen is completely dry before re-inking or storing. Regularly rinsing the nib helps maintain optimal ink flow.
- Storage: Store the pen with the cap on to prevent the nib from drying out. Avoid storing in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the grip section and nib for any debris. The aluminum body can be wiped with a soft, dry cloth.
