Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between ink cartridges and bottled ink?

The main difference between ink cartridges and bottled ink comes down to convenience and versatility. Ink cartridges are pre-filled and easy to replace, making them a hassle-free option for beginners or those who prefer quick refills. However, they are often limited in color choices and compatibility, as not all fountain pens accept universal cartridges. On the other hand, bottled ink offers a wider range of colors, allowing for a more personalized writing experience. While refilling from a bottle requires a converter or piston filling system and a bit more effort, many fountain pen enthusiasts find the ritual of inking their pen to be a rewarding part of the experience.

Why is my fountain pen not working?

If your fountain pen isn't working, there could be several possible reasons, ranging from ink flow issues to clogging or improper assembly. One of the most common causes is dried ink, especially if the pen hasn't been used for a while. In this case, flushing the nib and feed with lukewarm water can help clear any blockages. Another reason could be an air bubble trapped in the ink cartridge or converter, which can be resolved by gently tapping the feed. If the nib and feed are misaligned, ink may not flow properly, requiring realignment or professional adjustment. Additionally, using incompatible or thick ink may clog the pen, so it's best to ensure you're using fountain pen-friendly ink.

What is the best pen nib size for writing?

The best pen nib size for writing depends on personal preference, writing style, and the type of paper used.

  • Fine (F) Nib – Ideal for those who write small, need precision, or use lower-quality paper, as it produces a crisp, narrow line with minimal ink bleed.
  • Medium (M) Nib – A versatile choice that balances smooth ink flow with moderate line width, making it great for everyday writing and general use.
  • Broad (B) Nib – Best for those who prefer bold, expressive strokes with more ink shading and sheen, though it may not be ideal for smaller handwriting or thinner paper.

What are some classic ink color options that make a great gift?

Classic ink colors that make a great gift are Black and blue are classic ink colors that make a great gift, as they offer timeless grace and versatility. Black ink is perfect for formal writing, making it ideal for professional use and everyday notes. Blue ink is also excellent and is widely accepted for various writing needs.
