How to Clean a Fountain Pen Nib:
In fountain pens, the ink flows down toward the pointed tip of the pen, which is called the nib. Because the flow of ink never really stops on a fountain pen, the ink on the nib can dry or thicken when the pen is not in use. This results in a clogged writing tip that does not transfer ink smoothly. Cleaning the nib on a fountain pen should be done regularly even if the pen is not used often.- Turn on a steady stream of warm water at a sink faucet.
- Hold the metal tip of the fountain pen underneath the stream of water and allow it to loosen any dried on ink. Rub your fingers over the metal tip to help dislodge the clogged ink. If the ink is still hard to remove, brush the nib gently with the bristles of a soft toothbrush.
- Fill a cup half full with warm water and insert the nib of the fountain pen into the cup. Leave the pen inside the water and allow it to soak for approximately 15 minutes.
- Remove the pen, pour out the discolored water and refill the glass with fresh warm water. Reinsert the pen back into the cup and allow it to sit for an additional 15 minutes. Continue replacing the water in the cup and soaking the pen until ink no longer appears in the water.
- Pour the water out of the cup a final time and rinse and dry the cup thoroughly with a towel. Dry the pen to remove as much water as possible.
- Place a paper towel into the bottom of the cup and insert the pen into the cup with the nib facing downward. Allow the pen to sit inside the cup for an additional hour to allow the moisture to drain out and be absorbed by the paper towel.
Tips & Warnings:
- Sometimes even new fountain pen needs to be cleaned before use. Factory dust and oils may impede the flow of ink.
- Do not use hot water to wash a fountain pen. Room-temperature or cool water is OK. Some vintage materials (such as ebonite) will change color in hot water, and other materials might warp.
- Never use ammonia-water solution with a ratio bigger than 1:5.
- Don't use excess force. If you find that one part of your pen unscrews from another part, but it's stuck, try soaking it in water first.
- Don't use alcohol or any type of chemical cleaner which can dissolve the adhesive that holds the pen together on the pen nib.

05-31-2011- Other Thoughts: I received this 0.5mm Fountain Pen for Christmas, and it has thus far exceeded my expectations. I have carpal tunnel, so writing is usually a very painful affair for me, but because you have to use no pressure to get the ink flowing, I am able to write for as long as I want without problems. The construction seems sturdy and the ink provided has worked well. Would definitely recommend this to anyone with carpal tunnel.

06-28-2011- Other Thoughts: As an interior designer, I use this pen for sketching as well as writing. It has the feel in some ways of the technical pens I used to use in the pre-CAD days, but without the finicky nature (no leaking, no clogging...). Perhaps true fountain pen lovers would appreciate a finer finish, but the contemporary lines of this simple pen make it perfect for my use. Not too elaborate to use for everyday notes and drawings, yet a good step above disposables. It's a pleasure to use.

07-22-2011- Other Thoughts: This is my first fountain pen, but this pen has made me a convert. Light, durable, and very easy to write with. It doesn't have that classic fountain pen look, but it makes for a great workhouse pen to carry around. For the price, it is a great value. <br/> <br/>Great pen, highly recommend.

06-22-2011- Other Thoughts: I only bought this because of the recommendations I read. Just received this pen about 10 minutes ago and tried it out on a scrap piece of paper. Wow! It is great! Still don't care for the looks, but the writing! I couldn't believe how smooth it was. I love fountain pens but I doubt I will ever go beyond this Iridium Nib Fountain Pen. Afraid to try, might not get the same quality. Believe the great reviews, not lying.
