Technical Drawing Pens How Do I Make My Rapidograph Pen Work?

How do I make my rapidograph pen work? - technical drawing pens

I just bought rapidograph 7 Set of technical springs. I have never used. I opted for one and filled me with the ink cartridge to the specified line.

He said while drawing with the pen to flow perpendicular to the ink begins. Well, not running .... general. There is literally no line.

Does anyone know why?

You can also try to shake the pen back and forth along its entire length. It moves a little over-weighted return at the end helped to remove the ink cartridge at the southern tip.

You need to vigorously shake. You can hear the click in order to bring the weight back. Beware of Ink Spots at the top.

Start with a damp paper towel is not wet (wet ...). Hold the pen and touch the tip of the feather gently in the towel ... stay in that position for a few seconds. When you begin to see the flow of ink, then hold the stylus on a sheet of paper and draw lines, flows to the ink. Let's work the weight of the pen, not by force like a spring. If the ink does not flow easily Shake (very quiet) the pen up and down and play again and keep the towel ... Repeat this process until the ink flowing. Several attempts have been made to adopt a new set of feathers to put the ink in motion. Moreover, most point is, should be more flexible in handling.

Sometimes you have to be prepared to tip. It is the pen in his hand not to take (for a rookie recommended) and by a drop of ink on the top. Do not do this if you are then not very gentle with the parties as a folded edges or scratches on the strings of debris NIB. The tips are replaceable, but expensive.

The tip (the point) from the pen has a section of the spline shaft is shaped maze, called ChanNels not drive (pen in hand ... just trust me) and is a plastic rod with a wire protruding from one end. Keeping the channels at the tip and the hole in the tank (where the bar) into the air and not hold the ink to go into the air, the ink flows through the tip (d flowing air) through channels.

Make sure your pen lid secure while you dry up clogged or the ink and pen cleaning is ... it is a challenge.

Make sure that the funds that were not used, consisting of fibers, sailing, board (hot press works best), Mylar, and underwear (almost impossible to have more) are the best tools to use to rapidograph colored pencils drawing.
