I'm new to this forum and have turned numerious BP pens, but just turned my first FP. It was an El Grande kit from Woodcraft. It came with both a pump and disposable cartridge. I leaned from reading this site how to fill and refill with ink. I have not added ink yet, because, I still have some very basic questions.
Is the ink gravity fed to the point or pressure fed?
Will the ink leak from the nib? Especially if left on its side or point down or shaken around any?
How long can the pen sit idle with ink in the cartridge without problems?
If making the pen for sale or a gift would you typically fill the pen or insert the cartridge or provide instructions on how it is done for the new owner to fill?
I told you these were basic, but I wanted to get input before I filled the pen and had it leak out all over the place.
