Inserting the ink cartridge
Step 1: To insert your ink cartridge, gently unscrew the black nib of the calligraphy pen and put the cartridge (smaller opening end first) into the opening.
Step 2: Hold the inserted ink cartridge against a strong surface, such as a table top, and press down firmly on the pen to force the cartridge to click into place. You will hear a click when the back of the pen nib pierces the cartridge.
Step 3: Screw the nib back onto the pen and place the calligraphy pen upright for a minute or two, prior to use. Then gently press it onto a scrap piece of paper to start the ink flow â�" it should only take a couple of strokes for the ink to start flowing. You're now ready to start writing!
Using your pen
To keep the ink flowing smoothly, always hold your pen so that the nib is angled between 30� and 45� to the paper (calligraphy pens are not designed to be used in the same way as stationary pens).
Note: Medium and broad nibs are a great choice for beginners because they give you more control.
