Proper care for fountain pen.?

What is the proper care for a fountain pen? How do I get the old ink in the pens head out before I can insert a new cartrige or a different coloured ink? Is the tip washable? Can i use different colour inks at the same time?

Answers:

1Old ink can be washed out with lukewarm water.
Try steeping it if it's very old.
Dry with soft cloth or tissue.
