[QUOTE="Blackhorse, post: 481529, member: 1365"] Put the converter on the pen. Pour a cup of tepid water into a clean something. Add several, like three, drops of Dawn Dish soap and mix. Insert the entire nib into the solution and run it in and out of the converter three to five times ending with it being empty. Discard the soap solution and rinse the cup, or whatever. Fill the container with clear water and repeat the fill, empty, fill, empty thing. Take the converter out of the pend and dry with a clean paper towel...and the nib as well. This procedure should be done to all new fountain pens as the manufacturing oil, grease, etc. resists the flow of ink. Oddly, the soapy water does too, but it takes away the oils and then the rinse takes away the soap. Nice. Go to the Goulet Pens website and go through their tutorials on pens. Very good information.
