How do I maintain my dip pen for calligraphy?

Proper maintenance of your dip pen is essential for ensuring its longevity and performance. After each use, clean the nib thoroughly with water to remove any residual ink. Use a soft brush or toothbrush to gently scrub the nib if necessary. Dry the nib completely before storing it to prevent rust and damage. Additionally, store your dip pen in a pen case or holder to protect it from damage.
