Miracle Grout Pen: How do you reverse the nib?
1846839
Simply pull out the nib and reverse it. Can use a tissue to hold the nib while pulling.

I recommend using the converter as sort of a "primer" give it a few quick back and forth twists--not so far that ink dribbles out, but just enough that you think it's probably going down into the nib. (If you're using cartridges, a couple quick but firm squeezes of the cartridge has the same effect.) If you're starting from a brand new or dry pen it might take a while and some tapping to get it flowing.

The pen retracts when turned counter clock wise. Once this has been done, the pen will not leak. This is a great pen!!

They seem to write upside down, at least for a short period of time. I remember that the marketers of the old Fisher Space Pen made a big deal about how that pen could always write upside down. That never seemed very important to me, but I sort of assumed taht other pens, like the Jotter and PaperMate pens, must not be able to do so. But I just tried, and my pen seems to write fine.

I ordered the Jinhao ink cartridges for this pen. Unscrew the part of the pen that has the nib (the writing point). The narrow end of the ink cartridge is what goes toward the nib end. Push it on until the end is punctured, allowing the ink to flow freely. Screw the two pieces of the pen back together. It usually takes a minute for the ink to flow down into the nib, but once it does you are ready to write.

Try some hot water. warming up the pen will make it expand and let go of the nib... It may take a couple of tries be patient and be gentle.

I use cartridges by Namiki Pilot. I use size IC100. I assume that you are doing the same. I unscrew the end that has the retractor button. Then I remove the stainless steel cartridge cover (the big end is inserted toward the nib and there is a bump on the sleeve that guides the steel cartridge cover to place. The old cartridge comes out with easy finger friction. Place the new cartridge in big end in first and tapered end last. Push in the cartridge cover until it meets resistance as you push it over the new cartridge into the sleeve. When I push the cartridge all the way in, I cannot see the bumps on the cartridge cover..... the bump fits inside the sleeve. I'm not sure you can insert the cartridge backwards. The top of the cartridge just fits nicely inside the cartridge cover. Next, make sure the push button is out (I'm not even sure you could get the cartridge inserted if the button is pushed in) and carefully screw the top end to place. I suspect that you have been doing all of these steps correctly as they are fairly self evident. The only things that I can think of: you might have an incorrect cartridge or you are trying to insert the cartridge with the button pushed in. As I think about it, you would need some powerful force to crush the cartridge...... not good. On my pen, everything goes easily to place with gentle pressure. It is obvious when my pen is screwed back together as there is a definite stop when it is screwed in place properly. This is such a wonderful pen. I love using it. I even like to look at it. One more thing: I don't insert the cartridge ALL the way to place in the beginning. After I have pushed the cartridge cover into the sleeve and meet with obvious resistance, I place the sleeve and nib carefully back into the pen, and screw the top in which pushes the plastic cartridge to precise position when the top is screwed home.

Hi Cheryl, first you twist the "piston" part (the red end) till the end of the piston...inside the converter...is all the way down to the end of the converter, forcing all the air out of it. You'll see the whole piston in the length of the clear plastic tube of the converter. Then you dip the end of the converter into the ink bottle (you might get a little ink on your fingertips doing this...I always do) and twist the red part again in the other direction till the piston is drawn back up into the body of the converter. This "sucks" ink out of the bottle & into the converter. Dab any little bit of excess ink off the open end of the converter with a paper towel or something (ink won't spill out of the converter or anything, its kinda held inside by pressure or what have you) then stick that sucker into your fountain pen. :-) You may or may not have to twist the piston back down a tiny bit to "push" a little ink into your pen's nib to get the flow started. Hope this helps. --John Dunn, Harrison AR

You need to get a jar of ink, then you take the chamber out of the pen, to do so you unscrew the nib from the body, then simply pull the chamber out of the nib. Then twist the top of the chamber until the black twisty part is all the way down the hollow part of the chamber. Then dip it in the ink and untwist, this will fill it with ink. Before replacing the chamber in the nib flush the nib with water. Insert the chamber and begin writing. It will take a few strokes to begin ink glow. And ink will be watered down at first.

I don't have the extra fine nib, however my medium nib is a graphite. Write great and I am a lefty.

So it takes a little bit getting used to. You have to twist and pull at the same time. Holding the pen with both hands, roll your right hand away from you, while rolling the left towards you and pull. It is a little tricky but it is effective

With the little adjuster on the cartridge put in the empty position (where it would be if no ink were in it) Just dip the nib into the ink (cartridge attached) and then while it is immersed in the ink, carefully twist the little adjuster in the other direction so that it forms a vacuum and pulls the ink into the cartridge. I hope that makes sense!

Just unscrew the top part that has the nib from the bottom. You will see a tiny metal knob sticking out of the top where you can push and plug a ink cartridge. It is pretty easy. There is always youtube if you need a demo..... :)

Twist the bottom of the pen counter-clockwise holding the top part still in your hand until it fully retracts Or twist the top which is my favorite, counter clockwise holding bottom still to have pen retract, the opposite to have the ink cartridge to come out. No more marks on your shirt or anywhere else. I also use Fischer Space pen insert BOLD type, writes like a dream!! Have a great one!

Mine came with a circular clamp type thing, like a ring with a gap in it, and the gap clamped onto the nib when you squeeze the ring. Basically it's like tweezers, so I'd say: use tweezers and grab that nib and pull. It's firmly seated but it does pull out.Haha, or teeth like Nancy says :-)

I suppose this is due to an excess ink in the converter. You can turn the nob to draw ink, in this case air, and it will leave the feed a little drier. If not, check alignment of nib and feed, maybe is offset at the base? Hope this was useful.

Turn it one way and the pen tip comes out. Turn it all the way opposite and the stylus comes out.
