Prior to doing some routine maintenance on my fountain pens I searched online and found some of the sites below. I'm not sure if they have been posted here before (I didn't find them on a search), but even if they were it wouldn't hurt to see them again.

Thank you for the links, I found the information very useful. Like I didn't know that after every second fill on converters in fountain pens you should wash out the pen before refilling!!!

Leo,
I didn't know this either. I don't know if this is overkill or not. I always clean the pen when going to a different ink and do routine cleaning every month or so.
