  • Irregular use shouldn’t be a problem at all. The pen will not magically deteriorate. Old style iron gall inks used to be able to eat away at the pen but my understanding is that with modern inks, even iron gall ones this is not a problem anymore.

    If the ink dries out in one of my pens I just flush the nib under water and that’s enough for the pen to start writing again. This regularly happens with one of my pens because the cap is not airtight enough. I’ve had this pen for over 20 years and it doesn’t have any signs of damage.
