1 pen
It takes about 10 minutes to soak all new pens with warm water. Or wipe the hair off the top of the pen with your fingers. When you start using it, it will float, but it will stop immediately.
2 Runbi
Before using the used pen again, soak it in clear water and then lift it. It is not advisable to soak it for a long time to avoid gel at the pen root. After that, the pen is hung upside down until the tip of the pen regains toughness, which takes about tens of minutes. Pens must be dry when stored. If the pen is not polished, the hair will become brittle and brittle after pressing again, and the elasticity will be poor. It is a necessary work before writing and drawing.
3 ink input
In order to make ink penetrate into the brush, clear water must be sucked dry. The so-called "dry" is not completely dry, just removing water to contain ink. "The pen is divided into three parts, and you can't dip it deep into the light." You can gently drag the pen with absorbent paper. Note: without ink, the pen can't work freely; When there is more ink, the waist of the pen rises.
note:
Please clean the pen immediately after use. Don't cover the pen cover after washing. Drain the remaining water and straighten it. Put the pen in a cool place except hanging upside down in the shade to dry or storing it with a pen curtain. Don't expose the pen to the sun, but think it is dry.
About brush maintenance
Note: all new pens have floating hairs, so you won't feel floating hairs when you clean them immediately after opening. If blisters are used at the opening, floating hairs will stick to the pen holder, and you will feel frequent floating hairs when writing. Moistening is a necessary job before writing, and you can't write as soon as you touch the ink. The method is to soak the brush with clear water first, and then lift it. Don't soak it for a long time to avoid gel at the root of the brush. After that, it takes about ten minutes to hang the pen upside down until the tip of the pen recovers its toughness. Pens must be dry when stored. If the pen is not polished, the hair will become brittle and brittle after pressing again, and the elasticity will be poor. After that, you can start writing, and this "ink entry" is also a big problem. In order to make the ink penetrate into the writing brush evenly, the clear water must be sucked dry first, and the pen can be lightly dragged on the absorbent paper until it is dry. The so-called "dry" is not completely dry, as long as the water is removed to accommodate the ink. "A pen with three points of ink cannot be deeply immersed in it until it is weak." Less ink is too dry to run freely, and more ink is weak and bad. You need to wash your pen immediately after writing. Ink has colloid. If it is not washed off, the ink and colloid will stick together firmly after the pen is dried, so it is not easy to melt when it is reused, and it is easy to break the pen. After washing, drain the remaining water of the pen and straighten it [before inking]. Hang the pen on the pen holder again, and it is best not to insert it directly after washing, because the residual moisture flows into the pen holder, which is easy to cause the broken rod and the nib to fall off. Don't use soapy water when washing pens, because soap is alkaline, which will make wool lose a little oil, thus making wool brittle and broken. The residual water can continue to drip down until it is dry. It should be placed in a cool place and dried in the shade to keep the original shape and characteristics of the pen, and should not be exposed to the sun. The key to keeping pens is drying. The most taboo of using a brush is to let the ink harden on the brush hair, which is almost the death penalty of a brush. When using a brush again, soak it in clear water, squeeze it dry and ink it. Because the dry pen has ink, it is not easy to clean after use. If the ink accumulates at the root of the pen, it is easy to cause the pen tip to be scattered, which is not only inconvenient to use, but also easy to break the bristles, thus shortening the life of the pen. If you find that the used brush is cemented or hardened by ink, you can soak it in warm water or cold water, but you can't soak it in boiling water, let alone bite it in your mouth, which will bend your hair and affect its elasticity. When dipping the pen, don't put the joint between the pen tip and the pen holder into the water, otherwise the pen tip will fall off easily. For pens that are not used for the time being, you can put a small amount of camphor powder to prevent moth-eaten, wrap it tightly with paper or put it in a box, take it out in the sun after two months, and then wrap it in a dry place to avoid getting wet. Some people often insert the nib into the metal pen cover after using the brush, so as to keep their hair moist. But it is harmful to the service life of pen hair, especially the pens with goat hair and rabbit hair, which are easy to rot and lose hair after long-term humidity. Moreover, when the pen tip is inserted into the pen cover, it is easy to bend the bristles, which affects the use effect of the writing brush, so it is not appropriate to insert the wet pen tip into the pen cover.
