If the ink is waterproof, do you need to use something other than water to clean your pen?

No. Cleaning a pen is easy. It is only waterproof on cellulose based products. Examples for these products are cellulose paper, cotton (90%), and wool (50%). Be careful not to get this ink on clothing. Do not be concerned with getting this ink on the skin. It will wash off with soap and water. This is a great ink.

I have not used pen in rain, but after using the pen in general I suspect you would be much better off with a pen (cartridge/ink) designed specifically for those conditions.

The pen is shipped with a lamy t10 cartrige blue ink. The ink is NOT waterproof.You need to separately buy the Lamy's blue-black iron-gall ink a/o cartridge for a waterproof ink.

I write with fountain pens all the time, and the ink from these pens dries as fast as any other fountain pen. If you rub your finger across it right away, it will smudge, but in just a few seconds the ink is dry. Of course with any ink, the nature of the paper or other medium will have s significant influence on how fast the ink drys and how well it will write.

No, this pen needs filled from a bottle. Filling this pen from the factory would cause a large quantity of problems including leaks during shipping (air pressure changes in Air Transport), and possibly drying out and damaging the mechanism. Pelikan ink is great stuff to use too. I use Pelikan 4001 Royal Blue which is easy to clean up in the even you have an accident and won't ruin your day or your clothes.

The ink dries within acceptable time. Now a days we are used to ball ball pens where the ink dries instantaneously. Ink does dry more slowly. No after many years years using Montblanck ink I never had a problem. Please remember to flush your pen with water before refilling.

I currently use water-based markers just to be safe. However, discs I've had for two decades that were written on with a sharpie show and they no sign of deterioration. I'm not saying it's impossible for something in the ink to penetrate the disc's coating and cause damage, but I suspect people are being paranoid, and their disc failures are likely due to something else.

This ink is water-based. Very easy to use in a paint-on-fabric application, which is how I use it.

Some inks will dry and clog more quickly than others, but they'll all do it eventually. If you need to store the pen be sure to wash out both the section (that holds the nib) and the converter. Bulb syringes are your best friend when cleaning. Then shake them out, let them air dry for a day or so, and store. If you still want to use it somewhat regularly and not store it, then seek out inks made by Waterman, Parker, and Sheaffer. These are old, trusted brands, and are a bit less likely to clog as quickly. They'll be easier to wash out of your pen as well. You also might seek out some "washable" inks (like Parker Quink Washable Blue), though be aware that most washable inks may fade on paper.

I don't strictly speaking know, but I guess not, because you have to remember the nib has a controlled but open fluid flow from the ink reservoir, and there's no reason water couldn't do that too. With the cap on maybe.

Absolutely not! These are very high-quality pens that write with a very fine point with no skipping. The do not leak ink if you leave the cap off.

No ink is necessary for the stylus. This is a dual-purpose, novelty implement that includes a pen in the opposite end from the stylus.

It is best to not use cartridges because they have the tendency to leak and dry out quickly. I use the refillable cartridge which comes with pen and stand up well. Also. you have a choice of various inks. If you must waterman

No, this ink is aqueous ink meaning it is water based ink. It will be water resistant to a small degree but is not waterproof by any means, for that you would need a solvent printer with solvent ink also referred to as "eco-solvent ink". Solvent ink is chemically different and is oil based, it is used mostly in sign/vinyl printing.

The ink is the Fisher pressurized cartridge. So it would be ideal for a Write in the Rain type paper. From their website: Fisher Space Pen's Sealed Pressurized Ink Cartridge Performs in temperatures from -30F to +250F, underwater, in zero gravity, at any angle-even upside down! The ultimate in dependability! The choice of ski patrols, search and rescue teams, law enforcement agencies, armed forces, and everyone who demands reliability in a writing instrument. It is a great writing ink! It is dense but smooth. Almost has a rubber or oil base feel.

It depends. For delicate things I use hand soap, but for my ink pens I use warm water with a few drops of detergent.
