Firstly, thank you so much for your support and for purchasing a One-Dip-Nib. I hope it serves you well for many years to come.

To get you started with your shiny new tool, first insert your nib into your pen. A slight twist can help when inserting or removing it. Then, dip the nib in your ink of choice, aiming for the ink level to be just below the thumb screw. I like to count to 15 for maximum saturation of the internal reservoir. Tap lightly on the bottle to remove any excess ink, and you're ready to start!

To familiarise yourself with your nib, experiment with different angles, adjust the thumb screw, and enjoy a good ol' doodle. The only constraint is that the slit in the nib needs to be in contact with the paper for the ink to flow properly, similar to a fountain pen nib.

Important bit! Once you've created your masterpiece, it's important to clean your nib properly to maintain its performance.

If no ink has dried onto the nib, a light rinse in warm, soapy water will suffice. Make sure to remove the nib from the pen and remove the screw. Most importantly, dry the nib, screw, and pen, and store the nib separately from the pen. This is because the pen ferrule (the part that holds the nib) is steel, and the nib is brass, which can cause something called galvanic action (I won't bore you with the intricacies), which speeds up the rusting process.

Spare ferrules can be found here if you need a replacement in the future.

If ink has dried onto the nib, you can remove it and soak it in my marvellous nib cleaning solution until any stubborn ink has been removed. Make sure to rinse and dry, as outlined above.

Every nib has been sanded by hand to a finish that we believe suits most users. However, you'll find a small square of super fine sandpaper included with your nib. This can be used to either further smooth the nib so that it glides effortlessly across the page or to tune the precision of the nib and sharpen the tip.

Simply wet the sandpaper with a drop of water and twist the nib while holding both with your thumb and forefinger for best results. Enjoy customising your nib!

You can also clean the split between the 'tines' of the nib using the included sandpaper. Simply remove the white reservoir wet the sandpaper with a small amount of water and run along one half. Remove and repeat on the other half.  Rinse and dry thoroughly.
