Fountain pen cleaning set for thorough cleaning of fountain pens and nibs
Whenever fountain pen ink has dried up due to non-use or when you change the ink color, it is necessary to thoroughly clean your fountain pen. Especially when using fountain pen inks with a high dye content, pigmented fountain pen inks or shimmer inks, deposits can form in the ink feeder, which can clog over time. You should therefore clean your fountain pen at regular intervals.
That's why we developed our Octopus Fluids fountain pen cleaner set. It is an indispensable tool for cleaning and maintaining high-quality fountain pens and thus ensuring an unhindered flow of ink.
The fountain pen cleaning liquid effortlessly and thoroughly removes even dried ink residues and is gentle on the ink feed, nib and seals. It is suitable for the gentle and thorough removal of residues from water-soluble and waterproof fountain pen inks, pigmented and document-safe inks, shimmer inks and sketch inks.
Contents:
- 100 ml cleaning liquid
- 1 syringe
- Two hose adapters with different inner diameters: the smaller size is suitable for fountain pens with a standard cartridge system (e.g. Pelikan, Diplomat, Faber Castell, Kaweco, Cleo Scribent, Caran D'Ache, Waterman with a 2.6 mm mandrel), the larger one is suitable for fountain pens such as Parker or Lamy with 3.2 mm mandrel.
- 1 blunt cannula for cleaning any size converter
- How to clean your fountain pen:
Remove the cartridge or converter.
- Choose the appropriate hose adapter and attach it to the cleaning syringe.
- Fill the syringe with clear, cold or lukewarm water, place the end of the tubing adapter on the piercing spike and gently push the contents of the syringe through the ink feed and nib.
- Draw up approx. 5 ml of fountain pen cleaner with the syringe, place the hose adapter back on the piercing pin and let the contents of the syringe flow slowly through the nib unit. Leave the cleaning liquid on for 5 minutes or more.
- The spring unit is then rinsed again with water. Make sure that no residue of the filler cleaner remains in the spring unit.
- For stubborn dirt, repeat the process a second time.
- Then allow all components to dry thoroughly.
Converters can be cleaned in the same way with the enclosed cannula.
