right after mixing. Before writing, shake the pen in an hourglass motion a few times to ensure that

cap back on. This often leads to dried out or evaporated ink that clogs the feeding system. This problem
has been solved by infinity inks. The purpose of the infinity inks is to remain fresh and never to dry while
pen remains capless for hours. The ink was tested in a pen with a cap off for many hours and the
performance remained excellent. Please note, even though the inks are meant to not dry for hours, it is
still recommended to put a cap back on when not using the fountain pen.

fountain pen. However, one possible way to tell is by the pen’s body length. Simply compare the length
of the long cartridge and the pen’s barrel length to ensure that it will fit when pen is screwed all the
way. However, keep in mind that every pen has a different shapes of body and sometimes, even if the
pen’s length is proportional to the cartridge size, some shapes may not allow it to close and even cause
the cartridge to get stuck. Always refer to the manual instructions that come with the pen. Do not insert
the long cartridge unless certain that it meets the length requirement.

hours and then use Private Reserve polishing cloth. Firmly rub the desired spot for a few minutes, make
sure to not rub too harshly. The smudges and dried ink should come off quickly.
