This specialized nib offers a consistent medium-width ink flow, providing a smoother experience for lefties who often struggle with ink smudging or uneven strokes.

FAQs
Will this fit my Manuscript Deluxe pen?
Yes, this nib section is specifically designed to be compatible with both the Manuscript Classic and Deluxe pen series.
Does this package include a pen holder?
No, this is a replacement nib section only and does not include the pen barrel or other accessories.
Is this nib suitable for a right-handed user?
While it can be used, the nib is specifically ground for left-handed writing angles and may not provide the intended performance for right-handed users.
How do I clean the nib section?
Unscrew the section and gently rinse it under lukewarm water. Avoid using harsh solvents or scrubbing the nib surface.
What line width does the Medium tip produce?
The medium tip offers a balanced width that is thicker than a fine nib but thinner than the broad or 3B options, making it versatile for most scripts.
Troubleshooting
Ink is not flowing to the tip
Flush the nib section with warm water to remove dried ink particles and ensure the feed is properly seated.
Nib feels scratchy on paper
Ensure you are using the correct angle and not applying too much pressure; check that the nib tines are properly aligned.
Nib section does not fit the barrel
Verify that your pen body is part of the Manuscript Classic or Deluxe series, as other brands may use different threading.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, simply unscrew your current nib section from the Manuscript Classic or Deluxe barrel and thread the Medium Left-Handed section clockwise until firm. Do not overtighten. For long-term performance, rinse the nib section with lukewarm water if the pen will be left unused for more than a few days to prevent ink from drying inside the feed. Always store your pens with the cap securely fastened when not in use to keep the nib tip protected and moist.
