A fountain pen is a writing tool fitted with a steel nib that operates with a cartridge or a converter. More advanced models feature gold nibs. Fountain pens utilize a liquid-based ink which takes longer to dry than other types of ink.

Fountain pens use a gold, steel or black and other material nib, which disperses water based ink. They may use ink by using a converter also known as a draw that you dip in bottled ink.
Cleaning the fountain pen
First of all the barrel needs to be unscrewed from the nib section. After this, you need to clean the nib by rinsing it with water. The process needs to be repeated until it is done. The cartridge then needs to be soaked overnight in room temperature water. The nibs should be then dipped in water for 10 to 15 minutes and then dried off with bloating paper.
Using the fountain pen
One of the important things that should be kept in mind while using a fountain pen is that never press it hard while writing. This can destroy the nib as well also end up in leakage.
Storage of the fountain pen
When you do not use your fountain pen for a long time, always empty the reservoir filled with ink. Wash it off and keep it aside. If possible, try to keep the pen in a vertical position. This will prevent the nib from clogging with ink.
Even in this modern era, the usage of fountain pens has not declined. In fact, the sales are rising. People still are fond of the traditional culture and appeal of the fountain pens.
