Use Iron‑Gall Carefully
- Use iron‑gall inks in modern pens but commit to extra maintenance: clean pens if unused for weeks.

- You can't rely on a consistent fountain‑pen experience when buying Moleskine from retail shelves.

- Expect fewer color choices but better metal ring durability and a more traditional snap closure.
