Use and maintenance of inkstone
1, new ink grinding
This new ink has sharp edges and corners. If you grind hard, it is easy to damage the ink surface. When in use, it can be lightly ground.
Step 2 store water at ordinary times
Ink also needs to be moistened and stored with clear water every day. Ink should not be short of water. In the past, people called it "raising inkstones".
Step 3 use water exchange
Don't be lazy and grind the ink directly with the inkstone, and don't think that the ink ground with tea and sugar water is "unique". Mixing these things with ink will greatly reduce the color of ink and prevent it from printing. Hot water damages ink, remember to avoid it.
Step 4 brush your teeth after use
After the inkstone is used up, the remaining ink must be washed off and not condensed on the inkstone. Otherwise, the residual ink will form a slag block, which will first hinder grinding and then damage the surface of the pen and ink. If mixed with new ink, there is no advantage of inking or inking.
5. Take out the ink.
Be sure to take out the ink after grinding, and don't let it stand all the time, otherwise the ink and ink paste will stick together and damage the ink surface. If it sticks accidentally, don't pull it hard. You can wet it with clear water first, rotate the ink in place, and then take it out after the ink becomes loose.
