Yes, I've had similar experiences with Bay State, and other inks like
Diamine's Prussian Blue. It sometimes takes me several tries to match pen
and ink for desired performance. In the case of the Bay State Blue I
finally got a very clean fine line with my Namiki Falcon with an EF nib.
The hint of flexibility in the nib also adds a dramatic effect to
sweeping lines that I appreciate. I have been quite pleased with the
marriage of the two.

Thanks. I didn't refill my fine Falcon after cleaning out the cartridge of
its build-up of Legal Lapis, so all I have to do is move the Prera
cartridge over to the Falcon.

I'm going to go try it right now.

Weel, the Falcon still doesn't work right so I put it into distilled water
to see if any more Legal Lapis soaks away.

Expecting to set aside the Prera, I rinsed it and set it aside to soak in
detergent and water while I fiddled with the Falcon. Since the Falcon didn't
work, I rinsed the Prera, wicked it, and stuck the cartridge back in. It's
writing better and slightly broader.

I'll have to try the Falcon, again, later.
