Pen running dry
Here's an annoying problem. I hope someone has an easy fix for me.
BTW I'm kicking myself for not finding this group years ago. My daily workhorse is a perfectly adjusted (luck, not adjusting) Sheaffer Prelude. Writes like a dream with a nice wet medium line - for about three pages. Then, the flows starts to dry up, the colour turns lighter, the nib scratches until about a page later when it becomes a nail with no ink. At that point I have two choices. Either let it rest for a day or so, which will bring it back to normal, or twist the converter FORCING ink to the nib. What's up with that? Is this normal, is there a fix? None of my other Sheaffer's do that. Thanks. BTW - who's a reputable person to do tine adjustment on an older Imperial that's become mis-aligned? How much will that cost? |
