Mini Beginner's Fountain Pen Guide
Mini Beginner's Fountain Pen Guide
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.
Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 41 reviews.
The pen has a significant though light weight and it posts well with a good hold diameter. The nib writes smooth and easy and the cartridge converter is easy to use and works great. The cap snaps on securely to the barrel and it has a very rugged clip.
The Nebula is a perfect blend of design and function . It is perfectly balanced., has good weight. Fits nicely in the hand , and writes effortlessly. A true pleasure .
This pen is so much better than I thought it would be! It looks great and it writes even better!
I am in love with my pen. Every time i pull it out to sign something people are impressed for the looks and the quality.
I have purchased several pens from here. The Optima is my favorite because of the weight. It is comfortable in my hand and doesn't rip my shirt pocket. I dropped it recently and the nib tip bent. Do you have a replacement for the Optima nib? It doesn't seem to fit the other pens. Thanks
Nice weight. Love the finish. Nice finger grip. Writes smooth. Cap snaps on nicely. Easy to fill.
Beautiful pen! Nice weight! Writes smoothly. I have received many compliments on the beauty of this pen.
Pen looks rich and expensive. Feels good in the hand well balanced writing is smooth.
Pleased
Great no
I really love the elegance and fluidity that this pen provides. I do get lots of compliments when someone sees me using a fountain pen as beautiful as this one. I give these pens as gifts to my friends and clients. I do have a collection of them! I love them all!
Smooth writing and good heavy feel
Haven't used a fountain pen since the 4th grade. Now I have 3 and this is my favorite. And writing in green ink is so romantique!
No photo as yet but I absolutely love this pen. It is balanced perfectly, writes like a pen costing much more than it did.
EXCELLENT ADDITION TO MY FOUTAIN PEN COLLECTION. QUALITY FIRST CLASS. VALUE, AT FREE, COULD NOT BE BETTER!
This pen is beautiful and was bought as a gift. I hear it was what they wanted and a great writing instrument. They are interested in getting other pens in the future.
writes very very smoothly, efficient ink use, comfortable in the hand. handsome case
liked it so much, i ordered a second one
Weighted beautifully. Great finish. And, the ink flow is perfect. This pen responds to my touch to the paper exceptionally well! I totally enjoy writing with it. I patiently await the second pen I have on order. John Pitman
This pen has a substantial well-balanced feel. It looks great, writes outstandingly and gets admired by any who see it.
Look very nice and sleek.
It's a smooth writer.
can't complain, i was unsure how i would like it but i was pleasantly surprised how well it wrote.
Beautifully weighted pen a delight to write with.
The Nebula Optima was my first "To Shiny For Ya" pen... I've been collecting fountain pens for a while and have a lot of high-end pens. The Optima rates up there with the best of them. It handles great, is fairly wet, and very smooth. I've bought a Nebula Hero and feel the same. Outstanding pen. Total writer! I love these pens!
Perfect weight and feel. Looks Great! Would have liked a screw top for more secure closure.
I love the style of the Pen, very elegant. That said I also like how heavy it is, which is great for someone like me with big hands/ fingers.
Good balance well made and good value for money .
Feels good in my hand, and writes well. It is designed only for bottled ink, the cartridges do not fit.
handles nicely ,not tiring like some
I truly like the weight and feel of it. I like that I don't need to press down on it. Thank you for offering it.
Writes great, looks good.
I thought it would be yet another scam, but no, how wrong could I be. For the cost of postage I received an elegant looking Fountain Pen, modern looking yet retaining traditional features of a refillable ink pen. Filling method has certainly been brought up to date, but when being used ink flows through the nib just easily. A pen I would certainly consider buying. Thank you.
Very nice quality good finish nice nib very pleased
The pen brings our the best in my writing. I journal and my thoughts are transformed into works of art as I write with a fountain pen. This pen is one of my top three.
Pen is nice and heavy. No plastic. All metal. I have loved the pens I've gotten here.
It felt so luxurious and looked amazing, very solid with superb writing
A great pen as is usual with all their products, they make writing a joy. One small niggle however, beware of the postage charge. You only become aware of it when you have bought the Penn, and it usually doubles the cost of your order! Today I ordered a pen for £10 CNET ended up paying a further £20 for postage with no way to cancel the order. So it's pens great, postage costs rubbish!
Their pens are first class in appearance and function.
