I find that ultem is pretty stain resistant so perhaps water alone without alcohol could keep the pen pretty clean?

AMAZING video as always Ian

Well that was 15 mins to do one pen. No wonder pen cleaning is my most hated part of this hobby. I find no matter how long I take cleaning a pen there's always just a little bit more ink left somewhere in the works. My own methods include a large sink, a running tap, a water container and a bulb syringe. I tried an ultrasonic cleaner once. Sadly it 'died' after a very short time and it was returned for a full refund.

Do your pens use glass reinforced ultem? If so, what percentage?

Would this work with ink like Platinum Carbon Black or something similar?

I'd rather ask a stupid question than make a stupid mistake, but this applies to the black Smoltem right? I just got my Octopus edition and want to make sure I don't damage it!

yup! it does

Hi. Thanks a lot for the video! How often should I clean my ultem pen? Should I clean it even if I keep using the same ink? Like, every time I refill the barrel?

No need between fills of the same ink. Unless there is a weird smell (hint of bacteria!) or the feed/nib dried up a bit.

Can the full size (aluminum) pen be cleaned this way? And how about the monoc nib?
