Swan Manga Pen
This pen is not intended for use by children under the age of 14.
In case of any issues, please contact me first as I may be able to rectify the problem.
Features:
•Soft Maru-type nib for Calligraphy, Manga and Art
•igh capacity piston filler
•Rubber Seal on cap
•Replaceable Nib
Filling
Use only fountain pen ink. Dip-pen ink may contain particles that can clog the feed.
To fill, hold the barrel and twist the end cap anti-clockwise till the
piston goes to the top of the pen. Insert the nib in an ink bottle.
Twist the end cap clockwise till the piston reaches its limit and
clicks. Remove the pen from the ink.
This pen is not suitable for cartridges or a converter.
Cleaning
Before first use, insert the nib in water containing a drop of washing-up liquid (dish soap) or fountain pen
cleaning solution, and fill and empty the pen a few times to clean any residual oil from the nib. Repeat with
clean water to rinse.
Before storing for long periods clean the pen to remove any ink.
The piston mechanism can be removed by unscrewing the end ring, and carefully pulling it out.

Use
The nib is perfect for drawing detail and fine lines, it is a ‘soft’ nib
suitable for drawing different widths of lines. Use slightly more
pressure for a thicker line.
The nib is delicate and can easily be ‘sprung’. If the nib stops writing
despite ink in the feed, turn it upside down and press down gently
down on the paper with the tip of the nib.
The nib will gradually wear and need replacing over time, depending
on use.
Replacing the nib
The nib can be replaced with a ’maru’ type dip-pen nib, such as those available from the Swan pens shop.
To replace:
•Grip the exposed end of the nib with a pair of needle-nosed
pliers or nail clippers and pull out.
•Wearing a pair of gloves, align the new nib and push it in as
far as it will go.
•Put the tip of the nib on a firm surface such as a pad of
paper and push gently till the nib is fully in, see picture.
•Clean the nib of any residual oil by inserting it in soapy
water and filling and emptying a few times. Repeat with
clean water to rinse.
