FAQs

How do I fill my fountain pen with this ink?

Unscrew the cap of the ink bottle. Insert the nib of your fountain pen into the ink and fill the pen according to the pen's instructions. Wipe any excess ink.

Is this ink waterproof?

No, this ink is not waterproof. It is designed for general writing purposes and may smear if exposed to water.

What kind of paper works best with this ink?

This ink works well with most high-quality papers. However, performance can vary. Test the ink on different papers to find what you prefer.

How do I store the ink?

Store the ink in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep the bottle tightly sealed.

Can I mix different colors of Lamy Crystal Ink?

It is not recommended to mix different ink colors, as this can affect the ink's performance.

How often should I clean my fountain pen?

Clean your fountain pen regularly, ideally every few weeks, or whenever you change ink colors. Clean more frequently if you experience issues with ink flow.

What should I do if the ink dries out in my pen?

If the ink dries out, flush the pen with lukewarm water or a pen-cleaning solution. Soak the nib in water to dissolve any dried ink.

Troubleshooting

Ink flow is inconsistent or pen skips.

Clean the pen thoroughly with water or a pen cleaning solution. Check the nib for any debris or misalignment. Ensure the ink cartridge or converter is properly seated.

Ink appears too light or faded.

Ensure you are using the correct paper type, as some papers absorb ink differently. Check the ink level in your pen and refill if necessary.

Pen hard starts.

Clean the nib with a soft cloth. Make sure the nib is making good contact with the paper.
