Glass Dip Pens hold ink in the small yet deep grooves at the tip. The tip is equivalent to a nib in a fountain pen.Glass dip pens work best with thinner inks as the thin grooves don't allow a more viscous ink to flow very well.

Distilled water will work best (tap water sometimes contains particles which may clog the feed). Never use warm or hot water (heat will expand the inner works of the pen) or alcohol, as these will damage the feed or other parts of the pen. Let the nib soak for 10 to 15 minutes, then blot dry with a paper towel.

Hints and tips:Ensure the cartridge is pushed firmly up into place.To encourage ink to come down to the nib: hold pen vertically with the tip of the nib pointing down over scrap paper and tap the tip of the nib repeatedly on the paper for up to 25 seconds until the ink comes through.

Absolutely! That's how most stores let you test a pen, in fact. I would recommend keeping an empty cartridge or a converter in the pen anyway because dipping repeatedly can force a little ink up through the ink channel and into the barrel of the pen if you don't. It won't hurt the pen, just gets a little messy.

An ink converter allows the fountain pen to use bottled ink, rather than ink cartridges. Some cartridge style fountain pens are proprietary and only allow for their brand of ink cartridge to be used. Bottled inks come in a wider range of available inks and color selection than the cartridge inks.
