Specific Care

Fountain Pen

Ink: Always use fresh ink. dunhill do not recommend that you use ink that has been opened for over one year, as it thickens over time.

Your fountain pen will function better if it is cleaned every two months, by rinsing the nib. Never clean a pen in hot water or alcohol. Use tepid water. Shake out any excess water and dry the nib with a soft cloth.

If you will not be using your pen for a while, remove the cartridge or ink and clean it by flushing with tepid water.

After being in any environment where there might be changes in air pressure (for example in a plane or on a train) you should uncap the pen with the tip pointed upwards. A sudden change in cabin pressure may cause any fountain pen to leak. To reduce the likelihood of this happening, you should either completely fill your pen, or empty it of ink before you travel.

Always replace the cap after use to avoid excess evaporation of the ink. If your pen is accidentally dropped, please be aware that ink may spill into the cap and could leak out.
