How To Start With Dip Pens? - First Stop - Frequently Discussed Topics. I am one of those who was lucky enough to learn cursive and how to write with a dip pen at the same time (it was a long time ago, JFK had just entered the White House).
We simply got a new nib out of the box, inserted it into the pen, dipped and wrote, carefully and slowly, mopping up with blotting paper. And no, I don't know what the ink was, it just came in (to me) a large bottle. What I learnt was that you had to use the pen for a few days until the ink started to stick to the nib properly. What I know now is that a patina of dried ink particles was building upon the nib surface, and that allowed the ink to wet the nib. So, how do you build up a patina on a nib quickly? 1) Clean the new nib. Some inks, like Parker Quink Black and PQ Blue, Sheaffer Black and Blue, Iron Gall/Registrar's ink (Mont Blanc, Lamy, Diamine) work well with dip pens. How do you know if your nib/ink/paper combination is working properly?

Since the Parker Latitude has a steel nib, I don't know that I would let it soak overnight.
It'd probably be okay, but why chance it? Soaking for a shorter time is fine though. It does sound like you have ink that dried up in the section, the part that holds the nib and feed. To get it out, there are a couple of things I'd do. First I'd empty the converter of ink, attach it to the pen, and draw cool water into the pen and expel the water several times using the converter. If when you empty the converter of ink and try to fill it with water, it doesn't fill, then you might want to get an ear syringe from the drugstore and use it to force water through the section of the pen to clear out any clogged ink. Good luck, and enjoy your pen. Tombow Zoom 707 Pens.
