FAQ

• What does "fude" mean? It Japanese for "brush" and just like a brush, it requires a looser wrist.
• Is it hard to learn? It feels unusual for about 10 minutes, then it clicks.
• Can I still write with it? Yes. It is easier to write with the 40 degree nib than the 55 degree nib.
• Can I travel with this? Yes, it's designed for that. 
• Will it leak? Usually no. Avoid extreme heat (hot cars).
• Can I take it on a plane? Yes, keep it completely full or empty. Store tip up.
• What nib size is best for sketching? The 40 degree nib is easier to learn, and the 55 degree gives more variation and character.
• Are spare nibs available? No, but the pen is fairly low cost.
• What is the converter for? Insert the converter where the cartridge normally goes, and turn the converter handle to suck up ink from the DA bottle.
• What is the syringe for? It can be easier to fill the converter outside of the pen using the syringe.
• How do I clean it? Flush with water every couple of months or if you change ink colour. Use the pen every couple of weeks to keep it flowing nicely.
• What if the nib feels dry? Do a quick dip of the tip into water or clean the pen.
• What's the best paper? Sketchbooks with smoothish paper (cold or hot press, not rough). We like Stillman & Birn Alpha.
• Can I use other inks? Yes. Any fountain pen ink. We think De Atramentis is the best waterproof ink or any Japanese brand for a soluble option. 
• What else should I carry in a simple outdoor kit? See our Urban Sketching Kit.
