Using waterproof drawing ink involves applying it to a surface, often with a pen, brush, or dip pen. Based on the provided information, one specific method of "using" waterproof drawing ink is by filling a fountain pen with it.
While there are many ways to apply waterproof drawing ink, the reference details the initial steps for setting up a fountain pen to use this type of ink. This process allows the ink to be held within the pen and dispensed consistently onto your drawing surface.
To use waterproof drawing ink in a fountain pen, you typically need to prepare the pen by filling it with the ink. The provided reference illustrates how to do this with a specific type of pen and converter.
Here are the steps described or implied:
- Choose a Compatible Pen: Ensure you have a fountain pen suitable for drawing ink. Pens often come with standard ink cartridges or converters.
- Access the Ink Mechanism: Remove the pen's cap.
- Disassemble the Body: Unscrew the body of the pen. This gives you access to the ink cartridge or converter.
- Use a Converter: Fountain pens often use converters, such as the Z28 fountain pen converters mentioned, to draw ink directly from a bottle.
- Replace Default Ink: If the pen contains a default ink (like the default blue ink often found in Lamy pens mentioned), this will be replaced by filling the converter with your chosen waterproof drawing ink.
- Fill the Converter: Insert the converter into the ink bottle and operate its mechanism (usually a piston or squeeze) to draw the waterproof drawing ink into the converter reservoir.
- Reassemble the Pen: Reattach the body to the section holding the nib and converter.
Once the pen is filled with waterproof drawing ink using a converter like the Z28, it is ready to be used for drawing.
This method focuses on the initial step of getting the ink into a fountain pen, providing a portable and consistent way to apply waterproof drawing ink. Remember that using waterproof ink in fountain pens requires careful cleaning to prevent clogging.
