FAQs
How do I clean the nibs?
Rinse the nibs with water and dry them thoroughly after each use. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
What type of paper should I use?

How do I store the ink?
Store ink bottles in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat.
Can I use other inks with this set?
While the set includes specific inks, you can experiment with other calligraphy inks. However, ensure compatibility with your nibs.
