2). The 10 tips for a good maintenance of fountain pens
1) Wash your pen every few weeks and whenever changing ink color.
2) Use only cold or tepid water when washing the pen. Demineralised water will work best (tap water sometimes contains particles which may clog the feed).
3) Never use hot water, alcohol or solvents as these will damage the feed or other parts of the pen irreparably.
4) Wash the pen by filling and emptying it with water (repeat this until the water is clear).

3). Titanium - a versatile alloy for fountain pen nibs
Titanium ore was first discovered in 1791 in Cornish beach sands by the English clergyman and mineralogist, William Gregor. The new element was not purified until 1910, however, and another 40 years were to pass before it began to be refined and produced in marketable quantities.
In his periodic table of the elements, first published in 1869, Dmitrii Mendeleyev assigned titanium the atomic number 22, which places it in the first main transition series of elements, metals which are mostly hard, strong and lustrous.

4). Ink – One of mankind’s oldest tools, still in use.
Ink is simply a dye or pigment in liquid that is used to mark a surface. Without ink early mankind would not have been able to produce lasting written texts. It is said that the Chinese developed writing inks first to blacken the surfaces of carvings, and it was a mixture of soot from pine smoke, lamp oil, and gelatin from animal skins and musk. Inks have also been made using the black ‘ink’ that some sea creatures produce to confuse enemies.
