How to Fill a Schaffer Fountain Pen With Ink
- 1). Unscrew the blind cap from the barrel of the pen. Pull out the plunger rod.
- 2). Immerse the nib (point) of the pen in the inkwell. Press the plunger rod back into the fountain pen.
- 3). Wait 10 seconds to allow the pen to fill.
- 4). Tighten the plunger knob. Remove the pen from the inkwell, and wipe the nib with a paper towel or cleaning cloth.
- 1). Unscrew the plunger knob at the barrel end to extend the snorkel tube at the tip of the pen. You will feel a small "click" when the snorkel tube fully extends.
- 2). Pull the plunger knob out as far as it will go, and immerse the snorkel tube in the inkwell. (You do not need to immerse the nib.)
- 3). Push the plunger knob down, and let the snorkel rest in the inkwell for at least 5 seconds.
- 4). Remove the snorkel tube from the ink. Screw the plunger knob back onto the barrel.
