situation needs to be removed nib, into the warm water (avoid hot
water) to soak for half an hour and then dry, installed after the

not, then you need to remove the nib metal sheet, and then wash the ink
introduction groove and the entire capillary structure of the tongue on
the back of the pen with a small brush (that is, plastic tip section
above those slits). Water ring true there may be reasons for the tip itself. One
is the tip of the nib pens narrow seam, this time can usually write

Preliminary apart and divided into five parts: nib, converter (the ink / ink sac), hold a pen, cap, pen. The latter two generally do not have to cleaning. The
metal part of the tip of the tongue and pen (the ink structure) should
be further apart, rinse the tip sheet metal, and the entire structure of
the ink can be an old toothbrush to scrub carefully, and then placed in
warm water to soak overnight. After cleaning dry all parts, and so on can be installed completely dry storage. Of course, different pens in different structures, not all pens are
