Fountain pens
A fountain pen is a convenient and practical writing tool, while ink is an important material for pen writing。Fountain pens need to use ink to write properly, so filling ink is one of the important steps in using a fountain pen. Below we will go into detail about how to hold ink in fountain pens.
1. Choose the right ink
First of all, choose the right ink for your pen. The viscosity of the ink should match the pen's blotting system, if the viscosity is too high it may cause the pen to clog, and if the viscosity is too low, it will cause ink leakage. In addition, the quality of the ink is also an important factor in the selection, and a good ink should be bright and uniform in color, free of impurities and sediments.
2. Prepare tools and materials
Before loading the ink, you need to prepare some tools and materials. Includes: pens, ink, ink absorbers, paper towels, water, etc.
3. Clean the ink absorber
The ink absorber needs to be cleaned before filling the ink. Remove the blotter, wash it with clean water, and dry it with a paper towel. This ensures that there is no residue inside the ink absorber and does not affect the absorption of the ink.
Fourth, inject ink
Ink is poured into the ink absorber. Generally speaking, there is an indicator arrow marked "up" on the ink aspirator, and the ink suction can be inserted in the direction of the indicated arrow. If you are using a spiral ink blotter, you will need to rotate the ink blotter to the appropriate position.
5. Install the ink absorber
Insert the ink absorber into the pen and rotate it tightly. Be careful to apply even force to avoid damaging the pen or ink absorber.
6. Exhaust air
After installing the ink aspirator, it is necessary to exhaust the air inside the ink aspirator. Rotate the ink suction to the highest position, then turn the pen upside down and expel the air with a few taps on the barrel.
7. Try to write
After filling the ink, you can try to write it to see if it is normal. If the writing is smooth, the colors are bright, and there is no ink leakage or pen blockage, it means that the ink is successfully loaded. If there is a problem, you can check that the ink suction and pen are installed correctly, or replace it with a different brand of ink.
In conclusion, the steps to install a fountain pen are not complicated, but attention to detail and skill are required during operation。Only the correct operation method can guarantee the normal writing effect and service life of the fountain pen. At the same time, care should be taken to maintain cleanliness and hygiene to avoid contamination of pens and inks. Finally, I hope this article can help you to use fountain pens better.
