Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Question: What makes the Falcon nib special in daily writing?
• Answer: The Falcon nib offers more flexibility than a standard nib. When you write with it, the nib spreads gently with more pressure, giving your handwriting style. This design helps you make intricate shapes easily. The nib’s flexibility is perfect for drawing, signatures, and personalized writing, so your notes and letters have more personality. Artists use Falcon nibs for sketching, while writers enjoy the fine control and expression they add to every word.
• Question: Can you use the PILOT Custom 743 daily without maintenance issues?
• Answer: Yes, the Custom 743 is reliable enough for everyday tasks. Its high-quality materials resist wear, and the pen maintains consistent ink flow. Even if you use bottled inks with the CON-70 converter, the filling system is simple and mess-free. By following basic care—keeping the pen capped and cleaning it every month—you avoid clogs and ink flow problems. This level of reliability and ease of use makes the pen suitable for both work and leisure writing.
• Question: How should I care for and clean the Falcon nib and converter?
• Answer: Regular maintenance helps your Falcon nib last for years. Rinse the nib and converter in lukewarm water to remove any dried ink or residue. Do this at least once a month, or more often if ink flow feels restricted. Refrain from using hot water, chemical soaps, or ultrasonic cleaners, as these can weaken the gold nib or the converter mechanism. Always let the parts dry before reassembling. By caring for your pen, you protect both its value and writing performance.
