Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using your Lamy Aion, simply rotate the top of the grip section to extend the ballpoint tip. When the ink eventually runs low, replace the M16 refill by unscrewing the barrel and inserting the new cartridge according to the thread alignment. To maintain the finish, avoid using harsh chemical cleaners on the anodized aluminum; a soft, dry cloth is sufficient to remove fingerprints or dust. Ensure the pen is kept in a case or dedicated pen slot to prevent scratching the anodized finish against keys or other metal objects.
