Remember to forget me!
Managing fountain pens is easy. Three pens are kept inked at any time here. One has a blue, green or purple cartridge, one has a red or brown cartridge, and the third is filled from a bottle. The rest are flushed clean, and put away empty.
With rollerballs and ballpoints, i have a habit of keeping inserts in all of them, at all times. However, as I have a fair few of these, and tend to reach for a fountain pen most of the time at home, the inserts offer dry out before they are emptied, which feels quite wasteful.
Does anyone else find this happening? Do you keep lesser used pens empty, or replace the dried out inserts anyway, knowing the fate of the next refill is likely to be a similar story?
