Is it easy to get blisters when you buy a new fountain pen?

Generally, the fountain pen can be used normally after being put on the water, and there is no need to take the water to blister the new pen as some people say. Of course, sometimes it is inevitable that the pen does not come out of the water or the nib is dry, so it is necessary to deal with it a little at this time. Generally, what needs to be cleaned is the pen that is not smooth after buying, because some pens are not cleaned when the nib is inspected before leaving the factory or after the customer tries the pen at the counter, and the components in the ink are condensed for a long time, blocking the ink guide groove of the fountain pen nib, so it will lead to poor drainage.

In this case, you need to remove the nib, soak it in warm water (do not boil water) for half to an hour, and then wipe it dry, and it can generally be used normally after installation. If that doesn't work, you can extend the soaking time. If that doesn't work, you need to remove the metal piece of the nib, and then use a small brush to clean the ink guide groove on the back of the tongue and the entire capillary structure (i.e., the small seams on the plastic part of the nib).

The water is not smooth, and it may also be due to the nib itself. One is that the front end of the nib is too narrow, at this time, you can press the nib down slightly according to the usual pen holding posture when writing, and hold it for one to two seconds, or you can use a thin blade to expand the pen seam, but you must be careful. The second reason is that the ink guide is too narrow, and at this time, you need to use a thin blade to expand the ink tank, so be careful!

I think a water brush should be applied.

A new fountain pen doesn't have to be soaked. Because after the fountain pen is blistered, it will cause aging and deformation, and it will directly corrode the metal parts of the fountain pen, and soaking the fountain pen for a long time will cause some parts to absorb water and expand. If the water in the new pen is not smooth, you can first clean the nib with a neutral detergent, and then repeatedly absorb water and drain the water.

Fountain pen maintenance: When writing, manuscript paper should be placed under the paper to enhance the elasticity of the nib and reduce friction. Do not write on hard materials such as metal to prevent damage to the nib.

Avoid mixing different inks in daily use, so as not to cause sediment and clog the fountain pen. Fountain pens should be cleaned once a month to keep the ink flowing smoothly, especially if carbon ink is used. If the pen is not used for a long time, it should be washed and stored.

And don't overexert yourself when writing.

The newly bought fountain pen does not necessarily need to be soaked, the ordinary fountain pen will be coated with a layer of wax at the tip of the pen for the purpose of protecting the nib, if it is not soaked in warm water to remove, the fountain pen water may not be too smooth, but the high-end fountain pen has a low melting point, and it is easy to cause damage with boiling water.

Do I have to blister the fountain pen I just bought?

1. Not necessarily

nbsp;The newly bought fountain pen can not be blistered, the general fountain pen will be wax sealed in order to protect the nib, and the wax can be soaked in warm water at 50 °C, but the melting point of the high-grade fountain pen is only about 110 °C, and soaking in boiling water may damage the fountain pen.

2. Cleaning method

nbsp;If you have to clean the pen, you only need to soak it in warm water for 3-5 minutes, or rinse it with water.

3. Precautions

Use a fountain pen to write in time to cover the pen cover, not only to protect the nib, but also to prevent the tip of the pen from leaking, when writing can not write the nib in reverse, can not write on a hard wall or wooden board, it is best to put a notebook under the paper and then write.
