I knew that the pens work, since one was great. So, I tried different ink... wasn't that. What I ended up having to do is to loosen and *very slightly* separate the points at the tip of the nib, to allow the ink to get sucked up all the way to the end. Be careful to not bend them too much, because that will be the end of it. But if you work them ever so slightly just until the ink flows all the way, it should start to work for you, as mine did. Good luck!Maryahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10354498523460912487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162505706073664121.post-63426324841905291392009-12-16T12:02:39.342-05:002009-12-16T12:02:39.342-05:00maybe you should try to ask for a replacement. I ...maybe you should try to ask for a replacement. I have one as well and it writes fine. I also have the medium nib and agree it does write a little thicker than I like but I use it occassionally.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09071686440541710071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162505706073664121.post-51023949110161426142009-12-15T15:55:09.238-05:002009-12-15T15:55:09.238-05:00I don't know if it's the pen, or maybe it&...I don't know if it's the pen, or maybe it's the ink, but mine is temperamental and doesn't realize I have choices, lol. I might try another just to see if it's this pen in particular.

They always start up quickly and write very well. I thought they both are very easy to maintain pens. I don't really like the grip on the Pelikano though.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04478887693949172016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162505706073664121.post-2430336989761011812009-12-14T19:42:13.736-05:002009-12-14T19:42:13.736-05:00I sure do like that ink color!

I have enough FP's and sure don't need one that is "temperamental!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
