How Does a Fountain Pen Work?

• The Fountain Pen
• Although fountain pens may seem quaint to many people, they actually represented a big advance on the pens that came before them. Before fountain pens, people relied on dip pens, quill pens, reeds and brushes. All of these needed to be recharged with ink constantly, and most were very difficult to use consistently. There would be a glut of ink on the tip at the beginning of the stroke, and very little by the end of it. Fountain pens were the first to use reservoirs, allowing the writer to continue writing without an ink well nearby.

How it Works:

• Fountain pens have a reservoir inside the pen that holds the ink. Some of them use a disposable ink reservoir, while others can be filled with an eyedropper. The ink flows down into the nib, where it is dispensed by a thin slit. When a writer or artist draws a fountain pen across a piece of paper, ink flows out of the slit. Gravity keeps it flowing along with what is known as capillary action. In capillary action, molecules of liquid adhere to one another, pulling each other along. When ink slides onto the paper, the molecular bond between the ink particles pull more ink behind, keeping the flow smooth and continuous.
• Uses
• Fountain pens are not frequently used for jotting notes or other sorts of casual freehand writing. They are temperamental and difficult to use when compared to rollerballs, felt pens and ballpoint pens. Fountain pens can achieve some artistic effects that these other pens can't, however. Because a ballpoint pen has a broad, flat tip, it is extremely useful for calligraphy. By varying the angle of the stroke, the writer can get broad lines or narrow strokes, letting him achieve interesting artistic effects.

How to fill a fountain pen:

If you own a fountain pen you will eventually need to fill it (unless you aren't writing with it and are just gazing at it wistfully). This article will tell you how.

• Instructions
• GETTING READY
• Locate your fountain pen, your ink, and a sink. You you might also want some newspapers or paper towels. You need to determine your pen's fill method: is it converter, cartridge, piston, or some exotic alternative?
• DETERMINING FILL METHOD
• If you bought your fountain pen new and paid under $100 for it, your pen is probably CARTRIDGE/CONVERTER fill. You can determine this by (gently) unscrewing the SECTION, the place where your fingers rest when you are writing with the pen. The nib and section should unscrew as one piece; you will find the cartridge or converter attached to them. A cartridge is simply a plastic tube of ink. A converter will usually, in modern pens, have a twist nob attached. If the section looks like it doesn't unscrew, you may have a different fill type; go to the next step.
• OTHER FILL METHODS
• Your pen probably comes with documentation detailing the fill method, but if it doesn't, look for the relevant method in the list below.
• CARTRIDGE FILL
• If your pen is cartridge fill, simply unscrew the nib section, take out your old cartridge and snap the new one in place (you should feel the seal over the end break as you install it). Throw away the old cartridge, or keep it forever (some fountain pen people use syringes to refill old cartridges). Write a few lines, and voila! You're done.
• CONVERTER FILL
• If your pen is converter fill unscrew the nib section, revealing the converter. Dip the nib and part of the section in ink. Turn the knob on the converter as far as it will go in one direction; you should see the converter fill with ink. You may turn the nob slightly back in the other direction to express a few drops of ink. Put the pen back together - you're done!
• PISTON FILL
• The pen will have a BLIND CAP. This is a cap at the end of the barrel (opposite the nib). You can unscrew this cap, but it does not actually come off the pen. To fill, dip the nib and part of the section in ink. Unscrew the blind cap and keep unscrewing it until it stops rotating. Then screw it back down. You may want to repeat this step once. Your pen is filled!
• BUTTON FILL
• The pen has a blind cap; underneath the cap is a metal button. Dip the nib and part of the section in ink. Depress the button fully, then quickly slide your finger off so it snaps back up (this gets the maximum amount of ink into the reservoir). You may repeat this step as much as you like (probably three times is quite enough). Your pen is filled.
• AEROMETRIC FILL
• The pen has a converter attached to the section. The converter is a metal tube covering a pliable sac; you can press a bar inset into the tube to compress the sac. This is fairly common in modern very inexpensive pens from Asia. Dip the nib and part of the section in the ink. Press the bar a few times (generally until you don't see any bubbles in the ink). You're done!
