How should I clean my pen after using this ink?
Flush the pen with clean, cool water until the water runs clear. No special cleaning agents are required.
Is this ink waterproof?
This ink is not marketed as waterproof, so it may bleed if exposed to significant amounts of water.

Troubleshooting
Ink flow is inconsistent or skips
Ensure the pen nib is clean and the feed is properly saturated; consider flushing the pen with clean water.
Scent is not strong enough
The fragrance is intentionally subtle; writing with a broader nib or applying more ink to the page can help increase the scent profile.
Ink looks faint on paper
Use higher-quality, non-absorbent paper designed for fountain pens to prevent the ink from soaking into the fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best results, always ensure your pen has been flushed of any old or incompatible inks before filling with Les Subtiles ink. When filling from the 10ml bottle, use a converter or syringe if the neck is too narrow for your specific pen model. After writing, replace the cap tightly to prevent the ink from evaporating or the scent from dissipating. If using with brushes or dip pens, always clean your tools with lukewarm water immediately after use to maintain the integrity of the bristles and nibs. Store the bottle in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight to preserve the color and scent profile.
