I never knew I had to clean my fountain pen! I noticed today that it was writing less than optimally. Thank you for the helpful tips!
Sameee 😭 I almost throw my kakuno away until I watch this video.. thank goodness
i watched the whole video, i don’t even have a fountain pen
Buy one, use it, and clean it. You have your orders. 😉
future preparation :)
Encore_ss No, fountain pens write more smoothly and require no pressure to write, leading to less hand fatigue over hours of writing. Fountain pens can use the thousands of ink colours without being limited. The liquid ink stands out more on paper, and some have special properties like being waterproof, fade proof or fraud proof such as archival ink. Fountain pens can also give line variation through flex or stub nibs that allow of calligraphy to be done or for sketches such as Manga or even architectural designs, or just simple drawings. Seems to me that fountain pens are very different and not “pointless”.
(The guy removed his comment but I’m keeping mine up in case anyone else had the same assumption)
than get one 😉
you should try one...
I’ve literally cleaned 30 pens this month. 😁
A pen a day keeps the doctor away
@@allisonn2499 hahaha
U have that many FOUNTAIN PENS!?! as i might have 90+ gel pens😳 but only 3 fountain pens😕
@@tahairakhan5669 U have that many GEL PENS? 🤣 actually my Rapidograph collection is the biggest those need even MORE cleaning than fountain pens 🤣
@@geckonia ooh , actually I've been collecting since 2 years, so...it's an obsession 😂
It's the perfect time to clean your fountain pens! Hope everyone is safe and healthy.
Hello
nice
That's great
Nice video keep it up 10/10
why does my pen stop writing at some parts? I would really appreciate if you can tell me!
I use those little glass yoghurt containers to clean my pens!
That’s literally the perfect use for those!
Me too! I thought i was alone!!
why glass and not plastic?
great idea!
I still have a Papermate fountain pen my grandmother gave to me for school 50 years ago ......... still working perfectly.
Amazing that's really old😂
Thank you for this! I accidentally stored two of my fountain pens when we decided to repaint my craft room (thought I'd lost them!) and when I unboxed them, the ink in the converters had evaporated and/or dried to the sides of the converter. Flushing the iroshizuku ink was as quick as shown but the Monteverde Noir ink took forever! I was really surprised at how clean the parts looked yet ink was still staining the water!
I just checked my "clean" convertor that had the Noir ink in it. I'd left it to dry overnight, but when I moved the piston, more watery blue ink is still in there!! lol
I can feel how annoyed you were :)
I got my first fountain pen a while ago and it was a medium tipped fountain pen, which didn't work as well for my handwriting but it has cool design so I decided to clean it and store it. I've been watching your videos and this tutorial is so helpful!
THANK YOU for this!! I bought a LAMY Safari from a bookstore a jillion years ago and wasn't even sure how to begin. Now it's clean and I got a converter and new stuff coming from y'all in a couple weeks.
I love fountain and dip pens! I recently (a couple weeks before the apocalypse started) bought a metal tipped quill that I intend to write my personal copy of the book I’m writing
Let me know how it goes! I'm so excited for you!🥰
Wait... YOU TAKE PROPER CARE OF Your fountain pen?!!!
Oh and btw I try to take care and cherish my one fountain pen that I chose from a jetpens video. Thanks, it was great! (Oh and this was helpful!)
This is very concise and helpful. The demo is simple yet complete, with different methods depending on the variation of fountain pens... all in one quick video. Thanks and kudos! ☺🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Oh my God, I didn't even realize this is probably the reason why I never liked writing with fountain pens! I immediately got to work, taking out my old pens to do some cleaning. Let's hope this makes the difference for me! 🤞🏻
Thank you, it worked like a charm. I actually thought my pen was done because I hadn't used it in awhile. Your advice fixed it just like new...
Just getting into fountain pens, after making many rollerball pens. Thank you for a very user-friendly guide to cleaning! I just bought a medium-nibbed pen to try the size out, but like the fine size better. The seller doesn't offer replacement assemblies, but says the nib can be replaced. I've shied away from fountain pens because of this kind of thing, but am ready to take it on now, thanks to tutorials like yours.
Jetpens should get an award or something for being a channel whose videos get less number of dislikes.
This video is so useful. I just apply the techniques on my pen and it works so well! Thank you for the video
Thank you so much! I am now able to use my fountain pen again after cleaning as instructed.
Thank you! Thank you for this easy explanation on how to clean my fountain pens!! Did what you said and now they write smoothly!! I thought I had to throw them away but not yet...not yet.
This is awesome! Thank you for the guide.

Thanks!❤
Super helpful video! Thank you.
Very useful information. Thanks✌🏻
excelente video, gracias por toda la información
This video helped me ! Thank you so much
This was so satisfying
Thank you. I’ve had my fountain pen for only a few days but it was already starting to get scratchy. I think it was due to the poor quality of my paper. But after cleaning it it runs smooth again.
The DIY bulb syringe is an excellent idea - thanks!
Excellent! Thank you.
I have the exact same fountain pen as in the video, even down to same color. I recommend the Pilot Elabo.
very useful info. thanks.
Great video. Not too fast. I feel confident that I can clean my fountain pens.
Thanks for posting and sharing.
Oh wow..thank u for the info
Very useful video thanks

Thank you ❤❤
Thank you so much nyo!
Very good video. Thanks.
Thank you for the great video.
Really valuable information 👏👏👏
Thanks alot !!!!! Loved the video!!!!
thank you so much for this
I have a collection of fountain pens and flush them out regularly. I didn't know about the old cartridge and syringe hack. I will try that next time. Thanks.
Thank you!
Excellent video
Thanks
this is pretty helpful since im using a lamary fountain pen and I'm about to use a new ink
Very useful video.
Really helpful.
wonderful i love it
Thanks so much. 🥰
I have a Parker Vector Metallic fountain pen and I always use the recommended Parker Quink ink. Never knew that fountain pens need cleaning. At times , it feels like the pen skips a little bit. I'll definitely try cleaning it.
This video illustrates why I prefer to own cartridge/converter pens: They are much easier to maintain than lever-fill or piston type pens. It takes much less time to clean them, and the cleaning is more thorough.
So informative and so much to know about fountain pens. I really loved the video, much like I love my fountain pen. All the best.
We're glad you enjoyed the video!
Thanks for that
This was so needed.
Thankyou so much for this
And also can you please make a video on how to clean roller ball pen (pilot v7) grip tube
Thank u!!! I finally did it ok!
Feed of Lamy Safari/Al-Star can actually be removed. It's just very difficult to be removed and you have to apply a lot of force and grip to pull the feed out. If you are determined to do that, remove the nib before pulling the feed out and make sure you look properly before you insert the feed back in.
Ideally, don't pull the feed out that often because the friction might make the fitting between the feed and pen body looser. I usually flush my fountain pen or sometime I will put my pen in an ultrasonic cleaner to push out stubborn ink inside the feed.
Huh, I have never seen such pen cleaning kits before.
I also might try that trick with the cut cartridge fitted onto a syringe. That could be useful.
5:20~ Cleaning the inner cap. It's my first time seeing it. Thanks for your demonstration. 이 장면은 처음 봤습니다. 잘 봤습니다.
i have a lot of fountain pens , but since a couple of years I am using only two of them , the ink dried in the pen so better using only the ones who are once at least per week in use , regards
very good ❤❤
I never cleaned my Safari in school exept when I changed the ink color (like once a year) and it always wrote perfectly.
This was insightful. Ilk try to clean one of my cheap aliexpress pens like this, I like how it wrote, but since I left it unused for a month the ink became too thick I guess.
I found my fountain pens from school in the 1960s!! I will try this method and hope it works. The nibs are removable, so here's hoping!
Didnt work!!
Let them soak in warm water with a splash of ammonia and washing up liquid. Let it soak for weeks if necessary. Eventually it should work.
Lamy pens have a removable pen nib. You can slide it of and even replace the nib. Put a small coin behing the writing part of the nib and pull the pen in the other direction. Be careful tough not to damage the pen or nib.
Be careful with using tap water. Somtimes water from tap is very hard, containing chalk. You dont want this in the pen. Use distilled water instead.
For pens beond salavage, mugged up with dried ink; use warm or even hot water.
Best video for me
Acchi video hai😊👍
I love your videos
Isn't it great that Oui yogurt has cute little glass cups for crafts!
If you can take apart the converter use soapy water, if not don't cause it might hurt the seal's grease.
I also blow into my fountain pens cartridge sidento blow water out of the nib to fry it faster and force stuff out.
I have waited a bit longer than is helpful to my collection of refillable ink pens.
How is he keeping his hands clean??
Lmao
Great
Please make a video on Pierrecardin fountain pen 🖋
my dream channel :)
Ok I had had issues with my fountain pens not writing properly as if there is not enough ink. They are all piston filled. I will try this cleaning method before throwing in the towel.
I just hold the nib under the tap for a bit and wait for water to run clean
I use the color of Tombow Olno white. The part where we held the pen became yellow. How can I clean it?
I third this method. I’ve been using the same method to clean my nib for 36 years.
Oh thanks
But will it not be bad for a fabercastell fountain pens??
Please recommend pens for shorthand writing.
What ink is used at 0:31? I love the different shading!
Very helpful. Thank you
i'm always too imaptient and never wait long enough for the pen to be dry before putting in the ink cartridge, so the first times I frite the ink is kinda watery 😅😅
do these tips work with eye droppers as well?
I have a few old Parker 51 Specials (c. 1955 with aerometric fillers - these pens don't disassemble without much effort) that have been sitting for who knows how long with gunked ink in them. I squeezed clear water thru filler (and got some of ink out), soaked in clear water for 24 hours, squeezed water thru filler again and a little more ink came out. Still, the sac is totally black, and if I soak in water (30+ hours now) and squeeze sac, a little more ink comes out. I'm going to try the Monteverde Flush, but is there any other/better way to clean an aerometric filler Parker 51 Special?
the best for cartredge 4:00 epic!
every 4 to 8 weeks..
my very first fountain pen, laughing in the distance,
really, in my experience, if you don't use ink that is too strongly pigmented, or has big pigments, your fountain pen should survive quite well for a couple months at least even if you don't use it every day
for reference, aforementioned first fountain pen (a Schneider pen with an A nib, i got it around 17 years ago) lay around unused and uncleaned for at least five years until i gave it a good soak around march last year. the last ink i used in it before that was cheapo prussian blue cartridges from the dollar store
of course, if your fountain pen is a pricier model, or you change inks often, OR you use something like glitter inks, most of which have glitter particles that are big enough to get stuck in the feed, you'll probably want to clean your pen more regularly
but if you do it regularly enough and neither the ink or pen are stubborn, a rinse should suffice in my experience
How do you clean the cap of a clear pilot kakuno?? Mine’s dirty with ink
How did you pull the nib and feed out of the collar?
*Help me please:* I have a Parker Fountain pen, I've use warm water to soak my pen, and still ink won't flow, I believe it's the feed part from the converter may be blocked, Is there a way of unblocking it _(like a blocked kitchen drain pipe)_ I want to avoid poking a piece of wire down the feed from the converter end?
How long does the nib section have to be in water?
I'm using my Lamy joy now for 4 years almost everyday at school - and I never cleaned it. It's working perfectly 🤷🏽♂️
Wish I could make my own F. Pen Nib.
I had no idea...I'm enlightened. I'm going flush clean my fountain pen
