+What is a demonstrator?

Originally demonstrators were clear fountain pens that are used to demonstrate the internal workings of the pen to customers. Now they are a recognized category, and very popular with people who like to keep their eye on the ink they are using and the quantity that remains.

+What is a piston filler?

You can fill fountain pens many different ways, but the easiest and cleanest method is using a piston filling device. Stick the front of the pen into ink, then twist the knob on the back to suck up the ink. When you want to empty your pen, twist the knob in the others direction.

+How do you clean the reservoir in a demonstrator?

Empty the pen, then grab the ring above the knob securely and unscrew it from the pen. This lets you remove the piston device and reach into the reservoir area. When it’s clean, screw the device back onto the back of the pen.

+What nibs can you use?

All the nibs we list for our pens including Manga G nibs, Hunt drawing nibs, our Super Sketch nib, Brause Rose, crowquills and Gillott 303 nibs, and our quill nibs.

+What is an overfeed?

It's a device that enhances the performance of flexible nibs. It rests on top of the nib, and stores ink in the space over the nib. This continues to feed ink to the nib when the nib flexes backwards and rises off the underfeed. The tip of the overfeed slides into the gap between the two tynes as they separate and acts like a bridge to continue the steady flow of ink to the tip.

+Can all nibs use an overfeed?

No, only medium to large pointed nibs. You can't use them with crowquills - that would require a very small overfeed. We provide overfeeds for our Manga G nibs, Brause Rose nibs, and our Sketch nibs.

+Can I remove the overfeed?

Yes, you can. You replace the overfeed with a spacer we provide with each overfeed pen. The spacer keeps the nib tucked in tightly. You can slide the overfeed back in when you want to use it. Overfeeds aren't suitable for close work with fine detail. They are best for drawings with wide line variation.

+What does "washing" mean?

Washing a drawing means applying water or dilute ink solution to your drawn lines to create tonal values that enhance the appearance of your drawing.

+Add a bit of color

You can add a bit of color to your drawings. Fill the Brush Tool with watercolor or colored ink and brush it onto your drawings.

+Attaching the Brush Tool?

Fill the tool with water or dilute ink and press the tool onto the back of your Classic pen. Draw your lines using the nib, spin the pen in your hand, brush on water or ink, spin the pen again and resume drawing.
