Rinse the converter with lukewarm water. You can fill it with water and then expel the water by twisting the piston. Repeat until the water runs clear. Allow it to air dry completely.
Inconsistent ink flow can be caused by several factors, including the nib not being properly aligned or ink buildup. Try cleaning the nib and converter thoroughly. Also, ensure the converter is fully seated in your pen.
Yes, the CON-40 can be used with most fountain pen inks. However, avoid using inks with shimmer or large particles, as they may clog the converter.
After filling the converter, gently tap it against a hard surface to dislodge any air bubbles. Then, twist the piston to expel a small amount of ink, which will help remove the air.
Ensure the nib is properly aligned and clean. Make sure the converter is fully seated. Try gently twisting the piston to re-establish ink flow.
