1. Select a nib: Choose one of the four nibs and screw it onto the pen body.
2. Insert ink: You can either use a cartridge or the included converter.
   • Cartridge: Firmly push one of the cartridges into the nib section until it clicks into place.
   • Converter: Use the converter to draw ink from a bottle. Dip the nib into the ink, twist the converter’s piston to draw ink up, then insert the converter into the nib section.
3. Start writing: Hold the pen at a consistent angle, typically around 45 degrees and let the ink flow as you make your strokes. Practice on scrap paper first to get the ink flowing smoothly.
