Hello,

I've looked over the forum and can't decide which part of the many offerings to ask my question, so if I'm in the wrong place, I offer my apologies in advance.

What I would like to ask is this: Is it advisable to 'flush' a new, never been used before fountain pen out before adding ink?
Also....
Once a pen has been used with ink and about to change to a different coloured ink, can I use, without causing damage? to the pen, Isopropanol. I can't see as it would cause harm to use in cleaning, but I'd like to be sure that it is OK.

Many thanks,

Carpio
