Calligraphy Letters

I have been looking around for tips to make everyone’s life easier and I have come across this very handy solution for those of us trying but failing to get our new calligraphy pens working when they come out of their brand new packaging. Here are a few:

To wear out the wax or oil coating from the manufacturer, try dipping it in boiling water, or better yet, pass them briefly through a candle flame. You can also wash it with soapy water and wipe it off with a soft cloth, but be careful not to leave any fibers onto the pen as they might damage it!

Always recap cartridge pens when you’re not using it, as ink may dry out.

Good luck!
