How to Clean Your Nib (Before First Use):
New nibs are coated to prevent rusting and must be cleaned before use or the ink will resist the metal.
Gently scrub the nib using an old toothbrush with toothpaste or washing-up liquid, rinse thoroughly, and dry before dipping in ink.
Inserting Your Nib:
Insert the nib above the inner metal petals, near the outer edge where the notch is. Don’t insert in the center.
Use a cloth or paper towel to grip and gently jiggle the nib side-to-side to insert or remove. Adjust petals if needed for a snug fit.
