A lot of people think of fountain pens as archaic, inconvenient, or downright intimidating. But as soon as you first use a fountain pen, you realize that they’re really not that different from any other pen. Just touch tip to paper and write.
HOW TO USE A FOUNTAIN PEN
1) Unscrew the pen’s grip section from the barrel and grab the ink cartridge.
2) Insert the sealed end of the cartridge into the grip section until the seal is punctured and the cartridge slides firmly into place. The sealed end is usually the narrower end (but not always!), and it will be sealed with either a thin plastic membrane or a small plastic ball.
3) Reassemble the pen. It can take a while for the ink to fully saturate the pen, so don’t worry if it doesn’t start writing right away.
Many fountain pens can also use bottled fountain pen ink using either a built-in filling system or a cartridge-shaped device called a converter. Many people prefer bottled inks over cartridges because they come in far more colors and are cheaper in the long run.
HOLDING THE PEN
Hold the pen so that the nib is above the feed and at about a 45 degree angle to the paper. It won’t write well if you hold it upside down or at too high or low of an angle.
Also, try not to twist the pen clockwise or counterclockwise in your hand. The tips of the two nib tines need to rest evenly on the page as you write. Otherwise the ink slit between them will lose contact with the page and cause the pen to skip or stop writing altogether.
WRITING PRESSURE
Fountain pens need a lot less writing pressure than a ballpoint or gel pen. In fact, too much pressure will prevent fountain pens from writing well and can even damage them. Many fountain pens can write without any pressure at all, while others require just a tiny bit of pressure.
Fountain pens should always be capped or retracted when you aren’t using them. Otherwise, the ink in the nib will dry out and the pen won’t work the next time you use it.
If your nib ever does dry out, you can usually get it writing again by scribbling for a bit or adding a drop of water to the nib to rehydrate the ink.
CLEANING YOUR PEN
Over time, fountain pens get clogged up with tiny paper fibers and microscopic bits of dust and dried ink. We recommend cleaning your pen every 1–2 months for best performance.
EXPERIMENT
Although writing with a fountain pen isn’t all that different from writing with any other pen, it can still take a bit of practice before it feels natural. We also recommend experimenting with a variety of inks, papers, and writing styles to see what works best for you and your pen.

A very beautiful looking cigar shaped pen the recalls a vintage look. The bluish-purple and black marble finish gives this pen a very vibrant look. It is a smooth and wet writer but not overly wet. The only problem I have with this and other pens sold by "To Shiny For Ya" is that I frequently have to prime the feeder to keep it writing. I do hope the company addresses this issue. Still, I give this instrument a two thumbs up.
This is a beautiful pen. I like the way it fits in my hand. For me l like the weight of it, my hand doesn’t cramp, I can use a very light grip or hold. I’m not a heavy presser, it just writes well. (Just wish it spelled better).
Very attractive pen and writes well!
I have 3 pens now from your company, and this one is my favorite! It’s the prettiest, has the best heft and balance, and writes beautifully.
I love this pen! It has a medium nib and the flow is delightful. i also love the balance with the cap on the top end. I've used three different inks with it and all are lovely. i'd love it even more if it had a bold nib. As a left handed writer, I seem to have difficulties with thinner nibs. This is my favorite pen ever.
As with all the pens I've purchased from you, this one is gorgeous, well made, and a pleasure to hold in one's hand. In particular, this pen is very well balanced. The nib is perfect for jotting a quick note to a friend or adding an item to the shopping list. (I prefer the .038 nib for 'serious' writing.) I like this one very much and it looks very impressive on my desk and in my collection.
Grate balance, nice smooth flow fun to write, print or draw thanks .
Beautiful. Well fitting my hand. I'm keeping the one.
Love this pen!!! Since buying this one, I've purchased three more....a couple even for gifts!
I truly love my beautiful fountain pen! I have one in every area of my home where I write. I love the weight and the feel of the pen. I've had pens that cost $300 plus, and they can't hold a candle to this pen.
A beautiful pen. It has nice smooth writing.
This pen has surprised me - solidly built and writes extremely well; in fact, it feels and writes better than pens costing several times its price. Great value -- I will be a repeat customer.
I truly Love these pens! I had a very expensive fountain pen years ago and it couldn’t hold a candle to these guys. Totally perfect for me and I love the ink sales too! They keep me well stocked!
Lovely pen nicely weighted... great ink flow
Great weight and feel
The pen has a nice weight and feel and writes very well. Very attractive, and I love the ink bladder which allows me to use my ink from my ink bottles. Good quality!
