Setup, Compatibility & Care

- Compatibility: This pen is designed for use with bottled fountain pen ink only. It is not compatible with ink cartridges.
- Cleaning: Disassemble the pen (following the included instructions, if needed) and flush all parts with cool, clean water. Dry all parts thoroughly before reassembling. Cleaning should be done regularly, especially when switching ink colors, or if the pen is not used frequently.
- Care: Avoid dropping the pen, as this can damage the nib or other components. Store the pen horizontally or with the nib pointing upwards to prevent ink from leaking, especially during air travel.
