I have a client that wants a CSU Americana, but as a fountain pen.
The kit doesn't thread the cap on, the nib snaps into a closing cap.
I'm wondering if over time, will the continuous snapping of the cap lead to the fountain pen leaking a slight bit with every snap? I just picture a dried mess of ink inside the cap.
Should I advise the client to not point the pen down when closing the cap? This make sense to me. I'm guessing that if the cap is snapped with the pen pointing down, there may be a slight chance of ink spirting out, but if the pen is pointed up, no problem.
Sound reasonable?
