  • Initial ink flow may be slow due to the protective coating on the nib and will gradually improve with repeat rinsing and ink application.
  • The maximum writing angle is 45 degrees.
  • Insert into the nib holder with a gentle twist until fully seated. To remove, twist and pull slowly - forceful removal may dislodge the nib mount.
  • Strong impact to the precision-made nib may compromise ink flow.
  • To prevent the build-up of dry ink in the grooves, rinse frequently in water during use.
  • To remove stubborn dry ink, gently scrub in water with a soft toothbrush.
  • If using detergent, a pH neutral detergent is recommended. Avoid alkaline detergents as they will damage the surface.
