Using a fountain pen is a special experience that simply cannot be matched by regular pens.
You have two choices for holding the ink in your pen; Cartridge or Bottled Ink via the Ink converter.
Each Pilot Custom Urushi pen comes with one Black ink cartridge and one CON-70 push button converter. To use the cartridge you must twist open the body of the pen, push the cartridge onto the prong of the feeder to pierce the cartridge and lock it in place. Then leave the pen nib down to allow the ink to flow through the pen for 30 minutes. Don’t be concerned if it takes a little while to begin writing. Cartridge Refills are available here Pilot Cartridges.
Your second option is to use Bottled Inkand the converter that comes with each pen. You attach this to the pen in the same way as an ink cartridge, then submerge the entire nib in the bottle of ink. Push the button on the end of the converter, as you push it will draw the ink up into the converter. Then take a paper towel and dry the nib.
To clean your fountain pen we suggest using lukewarm (not hot) water to clear out the nib and feed until the water appears clear. You can do this by dipping the pen in the water, or if using a piston converter draw the water up inside and push backing out. Then touch dry with paper towel and add fresh ink. The pen may write a little watery at first, but this is normal.
