How do I care for and maintain my fountain pen nib?

Proper care and maintenance of your fountain pen nib are essential for ensuring its longevity and performance. Here are some tips for caring for your nib: 1. **Clean regularly:** Clean the nib and feed regularly to prevent ink buildup and clogs. Use lukewarm water or a pen flush solution for thorough cleaning. 2. **Avoid excessive pressure:** Use a light touch when writing to prevent damage to the nib and ensure smooth ink flow. 3. **Store properly:** Store your fountain pen horizontally or with the nib pointing up to prevent ink from drying out in the nib. 4. **Use compatible ink:** Use high-quality, fountain pen-friendly ink to avoid clogs and damage to the nib. 5. **Inspect for damage:** Regularly inspect the nib for any signs of damage or misalignment and address any issues promptly.
