Can I use these inks in my fountain pens as well as with dip pens?

Many inks in the Dip Pens & Ink collection are designed for dip nibs, illustration, or mixed media, and may not be suitable for fountain pen feeds.

How do I clean and care for dip pen nibs and holders?

After each session, gently wipe excess ink from your nib with a soft cloth, then rinse briefly in cool water and dry thoroughly to prevent rust. Avoid soaking wooden holders.

Dip pens and inks from our collection pair beautifully with sketchbooks and pads from our Paper and Pads collection, artnoise.ca/collections/paper-and-pads , technical pens and brush markers from our Markers & Precision Pens collection, artnoise.ca/collections/markers-and-precision-pens, and erasers, rulers, and other tools in our Drawing Accessories collection, artnoise.ca/collections/drawing-accessories .
