I mean I could go for pages with the nib this way. Now that I know how to store these Sharpie markers I keep buying, it’s best to keep them tip-down since these are felt-tip markers and the ink tends to weird out when stored in any other direction.Since alcohol markers can be refilled, you could store them vertically, but decide which end you like better, the brush or the wedge since the other is likely to dry out more quickly. I was beginning to believe I was becoming a little too obsessive about pens and how to store them having spent the last 20 minutes contemplating the issue. Ball point pens depend on gravity to force the ink onto the ball. To know I am not the only one who is anal about my pens,pencils,paint pens and markers is such a relief..I’m here to tell ya the struggle is real..lolI find storing paint pens tip down is a huge disaster as the paint tends to drip down and when I take the cap off, I am often standing there with paint all over my clothes and or project..Usualy both..Ugh..So tip up with them..If they dry out or get gummed up, just gently remove the felt tip, don’t wiggle it, gently pull straight out..Place in a cap full of fingernail polish remover for a minute or two then rinse it with warm water..You’ll be able to see the difference..If the paint needs rejuvented then simply unscrew it and place ONE drop of remover inside the tube,rescrew..Gently replace the filter..Sometimes it’s necessry to flip the tip..It’s ok..Just snip the tip to a point if ya want..Then make sure to shake for at least a minute thrn gently push till the paint is flowing again..WooHoo..Rejuvenated Paint Pen..They can get costly especially for our wonderful art teachers and parents of many rugrats so fixing them is so much cheaper.Gel pens need to be stored horizontal so the air dont mess with the flow.I have found that dipping my tips in wax,candle wax usually,and always replacing the caps helps to keep the ink from gumming up my tips..And protects my ball rollers..But if they do get gummy just run under warm water and then make circles on a piece of paper unitl it loosens..It may take a few rotations to get it unstuck.Markers with their tip dipped in warm water for a few seconds then stored tip down is an amazing color bringer backer.. You can also remove the back then remove the color filter and drip a couple drops of water on both of the ends..Roll the filter on a paper towel to remove excess water and replace.Wait an hour or two before using them tho..Takes time for them to refill with color.If you have freyed tips then simply gently snip the fuzzies off..Using a nose hair trimmer works great.Seems like I am writing a book here..lol..Seriously Amanda they prolly dont care..But then again a rejuvenated pen of any kind is cash saved..And if it happens to be your favorite pen then it can be a ‘Oh happy day’ when it’s saved from the infamous file 13..Time for some seriousness..Why ever in the world would anyone store pencils tip up..
I’ll have to see if the direction of storage makes a difference in longevity. To google and look for each brand and line of pens separately, that would be useful.
I still have my college era Kinko’s highlighters from the early 90s and they still work.Also would like to add that I have been collecting pens and pencils for the past 40 years and the best way for long-term storage is horizontal. Writing with a fountain pen is much different than writing with any other type of pen. I work in a library running an afterschool reading tutoring program and we use a LOT of dry erase markers. Fountain pens seem to like to be stored horizontal which keep the ink in contact with the nib but doesn’t let gravity get too sassy. PENCILS: Love the rice advice for my Ticonderogas! We try to provide general information for our readers and base our information on the type of refill which can differ, even for a specific pen model (i.e. I have a pen jar full of Bics and Pilots that all get frequent use and have no problems. GELS: Best luck so far horizontal. They tend to run 1 nib size smaller than the Western standard. It helps to prevent bubbles, in which case it will not work.Haha..How great is this!? It continued writing until the end of the sermon, and wrote with a very fine line.

I really like the rice/sponge idea. I’m a teacher and it’s a pet peeve of mine when people store pencils in a pencil holder with their sharpened tips up. And colored pencils should be stored out of the light. (Which I can't imagine you should be with a fountain pen anyway but some people do.) And how different materials need different storage. If that doesn't work, wash the pen out. Please be so kind and delete this post, so that you stop confusing more people on the internet. Unlike ballpoint pens which often require pressure, writing with a fountain pens do not require the same amount of pressure.
Could my fears be correct?It's common to use the reverse side of a nib for finer lines but if you find yourself wanting to do this all the time you should probably get a finer nib.You may need to look into Japanese pens to get a line as fine as you like. !Thanks for all the detailed information, Amanda! (Japanese F = Western EF)If you like REALLY fine lines you can try a Pilot EF nib, or even a Platinum UEF nib. To me it’s a hazard that common sense would tell you is wrong. Storing your fountain pen.
Not long ago I discovered by accident that the reason the magnetic mount dry erase markers we use were so faint was that we stuck them to the boards point up (the barrels tended to flip over the tips when mounted tip down) but when it dawned on me to try sticking them to the board tip down anyway, they all intensified dramatically.
I keep my non-magnetics horizontal, and they seem to do fine. Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email.
