Cleaning A Precious Fountain Pen

By Fra Tiffany


The precious Namiki pen certainly deserves some extra loving care. It can possibly be done simply by means of proper maintenance. Just like any other pen of its kind, your valuable Namiki Pen will function best when kept clean. Below are ways on how you can possibly keep it looking as good as new.

Be careful when using a cleaning solution since the strong chemicals in it may just damage your luxurious writing instrument. Furthermore, do not use hot water or alcohol when cleaning it. Just use one which is cool or warm. Leave it for a while to dry completely. Refill it with new ink when no traces of water are left. Do not keep a supply of ink for too long. Throw away any ink bottle you own that has sat for over a year in your desk. As a general rule, always use fresh ink for the pen's sake and for your convenience as well.

Still on the subject of ink, it is best to just fill the pen with an amount that is enough to supply your writing needs. Unused ink will just dry up and might also create clogs. The former is a waste of money and the latter is very tricky to remove. Both will simply inconvenience you. As a way to prevent the ink from drying up, always return the pen's cap every after use. Secure it in place to protect the nib. In terms of keeping the whole Namiki pen protected on the other hand, put it back in its case when not in use to protect it from scratches and other forms of damages.

When writing, don't put too much pressure on your hand. It might strain your hand and the excess pressure may cause damage to your pricey pen. How do you know if you're exerting too much pressure? Notice the way the ink appears your paper. If there are blots, then you have to loosen your tight grip on the Namiki pen. That will make writing less laborious and keep the nib in good shape.

Your dunhill namiki fountain pen may perhaps be one of the treasures you pride yourself for possessing. Well, you have valid reasons to be so. It's after all a piece of exceptional craftsmanship that is not only aesthetically pleasing but functional too.
