npub1kpwlxpzkxfmuxjmzc2wp3rf9vjg0sgydmlhsnrgqr3maf59h86qqdxxzz4 (npub1kpw…xzz4) Rusting? Hmm. No. I don't think I've ever encountered rusting with any nib in 60 years. (One of my sub-hobbies is restoring school pens from the 1950s)
All the Jinhao nibs I have are stainless steel or gold plated stainless.
There are corrosive inks like iron gall type inks that you should never even get near a fountain pen. Nor should you use any ink with pigment like India ink. Dip pens only for such inks. I have a set of Speedballs I use for India type ink and calligraphy. (Speaking of India ink, I greatly prefer Japanese Sumi ink over India ink.)
I'm puzzled. I've never seen rust on a fountain pen.
