Opus 88 Mini Pocket is a compact fountain pen designed to be carried everywhere. The resin body is always transparent and comes with different cap designs. The pen is equipped with a #5 steel nib and uses an eyedropper filling system.

How to use the Opus 88 eyedropper filling system? Unscrew the grip section (the part with the nib) from the barrel of the pen. Use the eyedropper or syringe to draw ink from the bottle. Insert the tip of the eyedropper or syringe into the barrel. Slowly squeeze or push the ink into the barrel until it's about 80-90% full. Do not fill it completely to leave room for air pressure and prevent ink from leaking. Carefully screw the grip section back onto the barrel, ensuring a secure fit. Wipe away any excess ink from the threads or exterior with a soft cloth or paper towel.

Opus 88 pens feature a shut-off valve at the back of the barrel. Unscrew the valve slightly (just a turn or two) to allow ink to flow to the feed and nib. If you're not writing or plan to travel with the pen, re-tighten the valve to seal the ink chamber and prevent leaks. If the ink doesn’t flow immediately, gently tilt the pen downward and give it a few seconds for the ink to reach the nib.
