Each Manuscript nib is hand pressed and undergoes meticulous manufacturing and quality processes to produce reliable writing and calligraphic results. Handy Tip: To ensure your Manuscript nibs reach you in optimum condition, the nibs go through various stages of production to finish them to exacting standards. If your nib seems a little stubborn and the ink isn't flowing as you'd expect, you may need to give it a hand. Gently remove the manufacturing residue by adding a little dish soap and diluting it with warm water. Dry thoroughly before use. Fountain Pens: Replace the cap after use. If the ink dries out over time, flush the pen and nib with warm water, then dry thoroughly. Dip Nibs: When storing your nibs, be sure to wash and dry them thoroughly before storing them in an air-tight container to prevent rust. With this all-in-one kit, find joy, calm, and satisfaction as you enhance notes, cards, invitations, tags, wall art, signs, menus, and more with elegant calligraphy. Warning!
