1, avoid carbon ink. Carbon ink belongs to pigment ink, and there is carbon precipitation in it, which is easy to block the subtle differences in the ink system, and the cost is high and frustrating.
Carbon ink is generally not recommended unless there are special requirements such as long-term preservation. 2. The pen tip of acid-base neutral or alkaline ink is generally divided into gold tip and iridium tip. The former is made of gold alloy and the latter is made of stainless steel. There are also many metal materials in the pen.
Metals are easily corroded by acidic liquids. The key to maintaining the pen is to choose less corrosive ink, that is, ink with PH value of 7 or 7+. 3. Don't mix ink. Wash the pen before changing the ink. The mixing of different chemical liquids is easy to cause precipitation. Just like carbon ink, precipitation is easy to block and hurt the pen. Therefore, ink mixing is strongly recommended.
4. Different ink systems choose different inks. Different inking systems have different requirements for ink. For example, the common piston ink delivery system of high-end pens should not use more precipitated ink, and the best combination is piston ink with lubricating effect. 5. It is not recommended to use blue-black ink, especially the pen with rubber ink sac, which is also called Titanine ink. The main components are tannic acid, ferrous sulfate and other chemical components, which are relatively acidic and easy to corrode ink bags, and the pen with steel tip will be corroded.
Moreover, although blue-black ink is resistant to water for a long time, it will corrode paper, so it is not suitable for writing on documents that need to be preserved for a long time. .
2. How to choose pen ink
1. There are two kinds of ink: carbon ink and non-carbon ink. Carbon ink is an earlier ink. Dark color, pen carbon ink writing effect is poor, easy to block the nib, long-term use will damage the ink supply system. Carbonless ink is the main recommended ink at present. Although the writing color is light, the writing fluency is good and the pen tip will not be blocked.
2. In order to ensure the better suspension of carbon particles, carbon ink added a colloidal substance. If this glue is not added, carbon particles will easily precipitate and uneven ink color will appear. The nib is air-dried after inhaling carbon ink, and the nib and the black control system are stained with glue, which is easy to block the nib and needs to be cleaned frequently.
3. Carbonless ink is dye ink, which is completely liquid dyeing. Because of the different formulas, the phenomenon of writing blocking the nib is effectively reduced.
3. How to choose ink when using a pen?
The special ink for pens is different from the ink used by artists to dip in water, and it is also different from the ink used by signature pens and colored pens.
Pen-specific ink pays attention to the fluidity of ink, which is too thin and easy to leak; Too thick is easy to block. In addition, due to the fine structure of the ink outlet of the pen, a solvent for preventing ink residue from forming is added in the pen and ink to prevent ink residue from blocking the ink outlet channel and causing poor water outlet.
Therefore, it is necessary to choose special ink for pens. The easiest thing to identify is to find brands that produce pens. Most of them also produce pen ink, such as wortmann, Belik, Montblanc, Pike and Xihua.
In addition, there are some pen inks for special purposes, such as indelible ink and carbon ink. It is recommended to use it in pens that often write, and to clean it regularly (once every one to three months, depending on the frequency of books). In addition, there are some companies that specialize in producing pen ink, but they don't produce pens themselves. This product is characterized by many colors, good colors, and a variety of special inks (such as antifreeze ink, indelible ink, invisible ink, etc.). ).
It's also a good choice, but it's a pity that most of these brands don't have agents in Taiwan Province Province, so it's hard to buy them. Fading ink will not damage the pen more than ordinary ink; The thing that hurts the pen the most is called "people"! The reason why indelible ink can hurt the pen is because the user's negligence makes the ink in the pen dry, which leads to the pen blocking and the ink sac hardening.
If it's not a pen that writes often, don't use ink that can't be poured out. How long will it dry after filling the ink? It depends on the tightness of the pen cover and nib; And there is a big difference between the two.
The safest way is one month. Do not fill it with indelible ink for more than one month. If you haven't finished writing, wash the ink and change it.
4. What's the common sense about pens?
Category Edit this paragraph.
There are many kinds and models of pens. According to the composition of the nib, it can be divided into gold pen and iridium pen.
⑴ Gold pen: The nib is made of gold alloy, which is soft, elastic and comfortable. However, the gold pen is expensive, the nib is soft and difficult to master, so it is not suitable for beginners.
⑵ Iridium pen: The tip of the pen does not contain gold, and some tips are plated with gold. The pen tip is hard, but it is cheap, so it is a tool suitable for beginners to write.
The reason why gold nib and iridium nib are more durable than pen nib lies in the small round particles on the pen nib. This little round grain. This small round particle is made of iridium and osmium alloy, which is very hard and wear-resistant. According to the experiment of Shanghai Jinxing Golden Pen Factory, if the pen tip and the pen tip are placed on the oilstone at the same time, after one hour, the wear of the pen tip is only 0.07 mm, while the wear of the pen tip is as high as 5 mm!
Although the price varies greatly, the iridium particles in the nib are all special alloys "iridium, ruthenium"! The reason why the smoothness is so different is that the polishing method and fineness are different. So in a sense, the gold pen and the iridium pen are the same. But the material and feel are different, which leads to the price gap!

When choosing a pen, it depends on whether the pen tip writes smoothly and whether the water comes out smoothly. This can be tested by a pen test, that is, dipping a new pen in ink and trying to write on paper. If the pen tip does not scrape the paper and the water comes out evenly, then there is no problem and it meets the use requirements. The nib is thick and thin, so you should use a pen with a slightly thicker nib to practice writing. If you need to write with a pen with a smaller font, you can choose a pen with the word "extra fine" on the pen holder to write.
Use and maintain edit this paragraph.
Get a new pen: Generally, a pen can be used normally when it is put in water, and there is no need to take the new pen away and soak it, as some people say. Of course, sometimes it is inevitable that the pen will run out of water or the nib will be dry. At this time, it is necessary to treat it a little. Generally, pens with poor ink output after buying back need to be cleaned, because some pens are not cleaned before leaving the factory or when checking the nib after the counter customer tries the pen, and the components in the ink condense for a long time, blocking the ink guide groove of the pen nib, which will lead to poor water intake. In this case, you need to remove the pen tip, soak it in warm water (avoid boiling water) for half an hour, then dry it, and it can be used normally after it is installed. If it still doesn't work, you can extend the soaking time. If it still doesn't work, you need to remove the metal piece from the nib, and then use a small brush to clean up the ink guide groove on the back of the tongue and the whole capillary structure (that is, the small cracks in the plastic part of the nib). It may also be the cause of the nib itself, and the water is not smooth. One is that the pen seam at the front end of the nib is too narrow. At this time, you can press the nib down slightly according to the usual writing posture and keep it for a second or two. You can also widen the seam with a thin blade, but be careful. The second reason is that the ink guide groove is too narrow. At this time, it is necessary to use a thin blade to enlarge the ink guide groove, so be careful!
Pen maintenance: when writing, pad some manuscript paper under the paper to enhance the elasticity of the nib and reduce friction. Don't write on hard objects such as metal to avoid damaging the nib. Avoid mixing different inks in daily use, so as not to precipitate and block pens. Pens should be cleaned once a month or so to keep the ink flowing. If carbon ink is used, wash it more. Pens should be cleaned and preserved if they are not used for a long time.
Pen cleaning: generally, when cleaning, you can repeatedly absorb water and drain it until the drained water is clean, and then dry it. If you don't clean the pen for a long time, or plan to seal it after cleaning, you need to disassemble all the parts and clean them separately. After preliminary disassembly, it is divided into five parts: nib, converter (ink container/ink bag), pen holder, pen cap and pen holder. The latter two generally do not need cleaning. The metal parts of the nib and tongue (inking structure) should be further disassembled. The metal sheet of the nib should be washed clean with water, and the whole inking structure can be carefully brushed with an old toothbrush, and then soaked in warm water for one night. All parts are cleaned and dried, and can be packaged and sealed after being completely dried. Of course, different pens have different structures, and not all pens can be disassembled. For pens that are difficult to disassemble, only the first method can be used to clean them. Don't disassemble and damage the pen by force.
What needs to be mentioned here is that there is a kind of elbow pen called "calligraphy pen", which has the characteristics of great change in the thickness of writing strokes. When in use, the pen holder is pressed downwards, and the strokes are thick, so that slightly larger characters can be written; When the pen is vertical, the strokes will be fine, and you can write smaller words. This kind of pen is more expressive than ordinary pen, and is often used to write envelopes and other large fonts. But it is difficult to write with this pen. Beginners should not practice writing with it.
Finally, special attention should be paid to: Never clean the pen with boiling water or overheated water, otherwise it will cause damage to the pen.
5. Novice pen selection
1, choice of pen tip
From the use point of view, the gold nib is more wear-resistant, resistant to sulfuric acid in ink and more elastic, followed by the steel nib. The nib is on the premise of not scratching paper.
In order to suit your writing habits, you can buy an F-tip and an EF for normal writing.
Step 2 show up
Appearance is an important reference point behind the pen tip. After all, whether you like a pen or not depends mainly on it, and so does its artistic value.
Mostly reflected in the appearance.
3. Comfortable to use
The thickness of the pen holder should be suitable for the size of your hand and the habit of holding the pen. I suggest you try a bigger stationery store first.
4. Price
As long as the price is within your acceptable range, don't pursue any big brands or expensive ones for the first pen. After all, you are still practicing word order.

Extended data:
1, pen maintenance:
When writing, pad some manuscript paper under the paper to enhance the elasticity of the pen tip and reduce friction. Don't write on hard materials such as metal.
Write to prevent damage to the nib. Avoid mixing different inks in daily use, so as not to precipitate and block pens. Pens should be used once a month or so.
Wash once to keep the ink flowing. If carbon ink is used, wash it more. Be sure to clean it.
If you don't use the pen for a long time, clean it and keep it, and don't use too much force when writing.
2, pen cleaning:
Generally, when cleaning, you can repeatedly absorb water and drain it until the drained water is clean and then dry it. If it is cleaned for a long time or is intended to be cleaned
When washing and sealing pens, it is necessary to disassemble the parts and clean them separately. After preliminary disassembly, it is divided into five parts: pen tip and converter (inker/inker)
Capsule), pen, pen cap, pen container. The latter two generally do not need cleaning.
The metal parts of the nib and tongue (inking structure) should be further disassembled, and the metal pieces of the nib should be washed with water, and the whole inking knot should be made at the same time.
The structure can be carefully scrubbed with an old toothbrush and then soaked in warm water for one night. All parts are cleaned and dried, and can be installed after being completely dried.
All right, seal it.
Of course, different pens have different structures, and not all pens can be disassembled. For pens that are difficult to disassemble, only the first method can be used to clean them.
Wash, don't forcibly take out the damaged pen.
Finally, special attention should be paid to: Never clean the pen with boiling water or overheated water, otherwise it will cause damage to the pen. special
There are some well-known pen brands that use a material called celluloid to make pens;
For example, Bellick, hot water can cause serious damage to this material! And don't let the water touch the pen tip, otherwise it may cause the pen surface.
Pale or unable to write.
