I dipped the nib of the pen into the inkwell to write a letter.
It is called a "fountain pen" because the nib receives a continuous flow of ink from the reservoir or cartridge - which is the "fountain."
In my primary schoodays we used dip pens. We had a pen with a nib fixed at the end, and we had to dip the nib into an inkwell after writing a few words ... From time to time the nib wore out and had to be replaced. Fountain pens also have nibs.
No, Peregrin Williamson did not invent the fountain pen. The fountain pen was invented by Lewis Waterman in the 1880s, which revolutionized writing instruments by allowing for a continuous flow of ink through a nib.
A fountain pen is a nib pen that feeds ink the to nib via gravity and a capillary action that allows for smooth writing. They can store ink in the pens body or in an ink cartridge or converter which is can be re-filled with ink from an ink bottle.Major Fountain Pen brands are Parker, Waterman, Lamy, Cross, Montegrappa and many more
When the piston of a fountain pen is dipped into ink and released by pressing, it creates a vacuum that draws ink into the pen through the nib. This is due to the pressure difference between the inside of the pen (lower pressure) and the outside (atmospheric pressure), causing the ink to flow in to equalize the pressure.

To clean a fountain pen nib stained by residue over time, soak the nib section in a solution of water and a small amount of dish soap for a few hours. Then, use a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the nib to remove any remaining residue. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry the nib completely before reassembling the pen.
A fountain pen may leak at higher altitudes due to changes in air pressure affecting the ink flow within the pen. The lower air pressure can cause the ink to expand and contract more, leading to potential leaks through the nib or cartridge. It is advisable to store fountain pens in a horizontal position or with the nib pointing upward to minimize the risk of leaking.
Fountain pens generally have a clip on their cap for attaching them to a pocket, so they appear to be designed to be stored with the nib uppermost.
To change a Montblanc nib, first make sure you have the replacement nib. Hold the section and grip of the pen firmly and unscrew the nib unit from the barrel. Slide out the old nib from the feed and replace it with the new one, ensuring it is properly aligned and seated. Reassemble the pen and test the new nib before regular use.
There may be several reasons for this issue. It could be due to a clogged feed or nib, improper ink flow adjustment, or a damaged nib. Try cleaning the pen thoroughly, adjusting the ink flow if possible, or replacing the nib if necessary. If the problem persists, consider seeking professional help from a pen specialist.
