Troubleshooting
Ink flow is inconsistent or skipping.
Check your nib for dried ink buildup and ensure the pen is held at the correct angle. Clean the nib with a soft cloth or specialized cleaner.
Ink is drying too quickly on the nib.
Keep your pen capped when not in use during your session, and wipe the nib periodically with a damp cloth to maintain flow.
Ink does not adhere well to the paper.
Ensure your paper is free of oils or dust. High-quality smooth Bristol or vellum paper is recommended for best results.
