Maintenance
S.T. Dupont pens
S.T. DUPONT writing instruments are crafted with the utmost care by our artisans.
To preserve their shine and performance over the years, we invite you to follow these care tips:
Please clean all types of surfaces with a soft cloth. Solvent-based products are strictly not recommended. For silver-plated surfaces, use a special silver polishing cloth, which you can find in specialized stores.
Silver is a precious material that may show signs of oxidation over time. This natural phenomenon can be accentuated if your pen remains in prolonged contact with leather or rubber.
For our pens, it is preferable to use S.T. Dupont refill cartridges. Please clean the feed channel of the nib section regularly. Use the converter to circulate cold water through the capillary by repeating the piston action until the expelled water is clear. To avoid any risk of leakage when traveling by plane, equip your pen with a new cartridge or a full converter and carry the nib facing upwards.
