Do not use with fountain pens.
Compared to regular fountain pen ink, sheen ink tends to clump and harden more quickly.
Therefore, after each use, be sure to thoroughly wipe off any ink that has gotten on the bottle rim and the inside of the cap (screw cap ridges), and cap tightly.
If ink is not wiped off from the bottle rim/inside of the cap before closing the bottle, the residual ink may harden, causing the cap to get stuck.
