Yes, you can use bottled ink by purchasing an optional converter (#8756), which replaces the ink cartridge and allows you to fill the pen from a bottle.

Clean the pen regularly, especially if you notice a decrease in ink flow or if you are switching ink colors. Rinse the nib under lukewarm water and blot dry with a soft cloth.

Use high-quality paper specifically designed for fountain pens to prevent ink bleeding or feathering. Look for paper with a smooth surface and good ink absorption.

The Cross Bailey Medalist Fountain Pen comes with a Cross Lifetime Mechanical Guarantee.

Store the pen with the cap on to prevent the nib from drying out and to protect the nib from damage.

Gently clean the nib with a soft cloth and lukewarm water. Make sure that the tines of the nib are aligned and that there isn't any debris. If the problem persists, contact Cross customer support for assistance.

Clean the nib with lukewarm water and a soft cloth. Ensure the cartridge or converter is properly seated. If using bottled ink, make sure the nib is submerged enough when filling.

Try a different ink cartridge. Ensure the nib is clean and free of debris. Make sure the nib is making contact with the paper at the correct angle. If the pen is new, prime the pen by pressing the nib down gently.

Ensure the cartridge is properly inserted or the converter is sealed. Check for any cracks in the pen body or nib. Avoid sudden pressure changes (e.g., air travel).
