Good day everyone!!
My wife got me a 'hand crafted' pen for Christmas. Since day one the pen has had skipping problems while writing. I got in touch with the artisan and he sent me a new nib and converter. The situation hasn't changed. I got myself a different converter, this too doesn't work.
The pen needs constant priming, pushing ink via converter into the nib, as the ink does not flow out of any of the converters I have. I have WASHED the nib+feed assembly multiple times but this too doesn't change the situation. At least I have been told the the nib is a Boch #5.
I've now contacted the supplier of the nib the guy uses, Beaufort, asking for advice. Next I'll be extracting the nib and feed from the encasing as they are friction fit but although I tried I can't dislodge the two pieces from the encasing.
I'll buy myself a new nib assembly and see how it goes. This thing bugs me though !! Not buying other pens from this guy though.
Technical ideas ?
