Fountain pens have got much popularity in recent years as the most stylish pen in India. The users have found it very interesting as it helps to improve your handwriting and the various designs and various inks would provide much pleasure. Unlike any normal pens, fountain pens need to be handled carefully. So here are some tips that would help you to keep your fountain pen safe and in the best condition.
Cap the Pen:
From ballpens to fountain pens, naturally, every pen has got caps (though there are some retractable pens). The caps are given for two main reasons, one to resist the ink from drying. Second and the most important is to prevent the nib from getting damaged and to keep it safe. Though there are some moments where you do not know how much time the pen can be capped, still cap it whenever you remember.
Keep Using the Pen:
To keep a pen in good condition, there is no best way than using it. Keep writing, that would help the ink to flow otherwise the ink might get dried out. There is no specific time limit for the ink to dry out. It depends on the ink and on the condition. Using the pen once in a few days or hardly once in a week is safe, but if you keep the pen unused for more than that, then there would be a very prominent chance for the ink to dry out.
Flush While Changing Inks:
Surely it is very interesting to use inks of different colors, but while swapping from one color to another, do not forget to flush the nib. Mixing two different colors of inks may not be safe, so wash the nib before putting another ink in. If you use one converter then washing it would be good for you. Never use hot water for washing, the feed which possesses some delicate parts, may get damaged by the hot water. So, avoid it.
Flush a Dry Pen:
When your pen is dried up, some encouragement can induce your pen to run properly. The nib needs some moisture to run again finely. You can moisture the nib by water or some ink. If you see that the pen is not running in any condition then remove the converter and pass some cold or slightly warm water throughout the nib until the water clears the path. Sometimes dried ink prevents the pen from working but a little extra care can give you a fine performance in return.
Being so popular, fountain pens are not just good for use but it can also be one of the best gifts for men.
