Maintenance and Care

Proper maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity and performance of an Edison fountain pen. Like all fountain pens, Edisons require regular cleaning to prevent ink buildup and maintain smooth ink flow. It is recommended that the pen be cleaned every four to six weeks, depending on usage, by flushing the nib and converter with lukewarm water. This helps remove dried ink and keeps the writing performance at its best.

Regular cleaning becomes even more important for users who switch between ink colors frequently to prevent contamination. Edison pens are compatible with both cartridge and converter systems, making it easy to refill with the ink of your choice. High-quality ink is also recommended to ensure the best performance and avoid clogging.

In terms of storage, it is best to keep the pen capped when not in use to prevent the nib from drying out. If you plan to store the pen for an extended period, it’s advisable to empty the ink reservoir and clean the pen thoroughly before doing so.
