Etchr : Premium Fountain Pen : Set of 2

The Etchr Premium Fountain Pen Set of 2 contains one ivory white fountain pen with an extra-fine (EF) nib and one matt transparent fountain pen with a fine (F) nib. Suitable for both drawing and writing, the stainless steel EF and F nibs have a slight flex, so you can create lines of varying thickness, similar to a traditional dip pen.

Each pen has a 1.9ml barrel to fill with your favourite ink - they both have a built-in piston converter, which means they can’t take ink cartridges and instead, you have to fill them using bottled ink. It’s recommended to use fountain pen ink for fountain pens, as other inks like drawing or Indian inks may clog the nib or cause the ink to flow improperly.

Contains the following nib sizes:

EF nib: 0.38 mm writing thickness

F nib: 0.5mm writing thickness

How to fill the fountain pens:

Unscrew the pen’s end-cap and gently pull it out about 2mm. Make sure the plunger is twisted all the way up (i.e. by twisting clockwise).

Submerge the pen’s nib all the way in your ink bottle. It should be at least deep enough that Etchr’s llama logo has disappeared into the ink. Then, twist the end-cap all the way anti-clockwise to expel the air out of the pen’s barrel before slowly twisting it clockwise again to draw ink upwards into your pen.

You should be able to see this easily in the frosted pen, and for the ivory pen, there’s a small window to see the position of the plunger.

Twist the end cap anti-clockwise one last time to squeeze five drops of ink back into the ink bottle. Then, push the end-cap down to click it back into place. Make sure that the arrow on the top lines up with the holes inside the silver band. Wipe off any excess ink on a dry rag or paper towel. You’re ready to draw or screw the cap back on if you’re not going to use it just yet.

If you ever need to clean your pen or want to change the link, you’ll do the same thing but with clean water instead of ink.

Clean your pen whenever you switch between inks. When used continuously, it is recommended to clean the pen every eight weeks. With infrequent use, only clean if the pen becomes clogged or before long term storage. Use caution whenever fully disassembling your pen to protect the piston assembly.
