Nib exchange

Test Before Deciding

Nominal width, ink, and paper affect the outcome. Use the pen for a sufficient amount of time to distinguish initial adaptation from a real incompatibility with your style.

A misaligned or improperly flowing nib does not accurately represent its width. Diagnose the issue before choosing a different size.

Service and Documentation

Exchange conditions depend on the market, timeframe, and pen condition. Consult directly with an authorized service center to learn about current rules and costs.

Document the original nib and the service performed. In special editions, confirm how the replacement affects engravings and the coherence of the set.

Editorial and educational content. For authentication, evaluation or repair, consult a professional.
