Article: How to Change the Nib in a Lamy Fountain Pen

Changing nibs on any fountain pen can get a little messy, so you might want to wear some disposable gloves and use a piece of scratch paper to protect your hands and table surface.

The easiest way to change a Lamy nib (with the lowest risk of possible damage) is to use a piece of scotch tape.

First, make sure to gently clean off the nib on the pen to remove an ink traces using a damp cloth or tissue. After the cleaned nib is dry, apply a single piece of adhesive tape (Magic tape may rip easily so other clear scotch tape or packing tape is good to use) to the nib and pull it off the pen. If need be, you can place your fingers on the sides of the nib to help it off.

Clean the removed nib with warm water (it is not advisable to use soap or any other cleaning agents, as this may damage the nib) and use a tissue to gently dry it off, Make sure to use care when washing or drying so you don't bend or warp the tines on the nib.

You can then slide on the new nib, to its final position.

Congratulations! You have now successfully changed the nib on a Lamy pen!
