How to Use The Traveler’s Company Mini Fountain Pen Converter
1 – Install the pen converter in your Traveler’s Company fountain pen. Keep in mind that converters are designed to fit tightly, so, don’t be afraid to use a bit of force when installing it if you have to.
2 – Dip the pen nib into the ink. Confirm that the entire nib is submerged in ink to assure you’ll be able to fill your converter. Most fountain pens draw ink through a breather hole at the base of the nib. This is why you need to make sure that the entire nib is submerged in ink.
3 – Squeeze the converter sac and release the air from the fountain pen.
4 – Slowly stop squeezing the converter aerometric system so draw ink into the fountain pen.
5 – In order to fill the converter as much as possible, you can repeat steps 3 and 4 to reduce air. This will also increase the ink capacity.
6 – Clean the grip section of your pen with a tissue or paper towel, and reassemble the pen.
Once you complete all these steps, your Traveler’s Company fountain pen should write smoothly without any hard start or any skipping.
You can also refill your converter directly in an ink sample vial or an ink bottle. To do so, simply insert your converter directly in the ink bottle. Then, expel any air in it, and squeeze the converter to draw ink into the converter. Make sure you clean the tip of your converter with a paper towel before you insert it on your pen.
Please Note:
Due to the tiny size of this Kaweco Squeeze Fountain Pen Converter, and the high compatibility offered with even the smallest fountain pens in the market, this converter has limited ink capacity.
The full ink capacity is 0.5ml but you need experience to be able to get it completely filled.
If you simply want to use the converter you can follow the instructions above. But in order to completely fill this converter, you will need to remove it from the ink after filling, and then turn the pen nib-up.
Clean the nib and gently squeeze the converter to release some of the air out.
Then you need to keep it squeezed and dip it again in the ink to get more ink and less air.
Please note the whole process can get messy and can only be accomplished with experience and by using a large bottle of ink. Another way you can easily drop some ink on your desk or on your lap.
An easier way to completely fill this converter is by using an ink syringe. Some people prefer to simply use the converter on a regular way and when they need to completely maximize the converter capacity, they use an ink syringe.
This is just a little heads up so that you know exactly what you can expect from this converter. It’s practical and compatible with many pens that won’t accept a regular converter. But it doesn’t take much ink and you need practice and patience to get the most out of it.
