Waterman Gentleman Ink Flow Issue Due To Some Unknown Reasons.
FauzAhmad posted a topic in Fountain & Dip Pens - First Stop
Hello guys, I picked up this Waterman Gentleman a while a go. It has some issues with the nib. Though the nib looks very fine to me but it writes super dry. it delivers ink only when I apply a little pressure. its a gold nib, in case youre wondering, and its very smooth. I still haven't found any specific angle that it writes fine at. I have serviced the pen a few times but it just doesn't work well. I suspect the problem might be due to its tines having a small gap between them after the breather hole and then joining at the writing tip. ill attach some pictures of the nib and the quality of writing. Also, I think its worth mentioning that if I dip it into some ink, it works well for a few lines. Thank you all so much in advance. Looking forward to receiving your thoughts and opinions! -

Domain Lion 305/blackstone Daintree Green Ink - "fuzz" On Tip?
mcshiny posted a topic in Fountain & Dip Pens - First Stop
Long time lurker, first time poster: I recently bought a Domain Lion 305, and have filled it with the Blackstone Daintree Green - I love both pen and ink, but I've noticed that after being capped for a while there's a fuzz at the tip of the nib that looks almost like iron filings on a magnet - I think what's happening is that the ink has evaporated off the tip and left the pigment residue behind. This happens over a few hours. Any suggestions for what I can do so that I don't have to clean the pen every morning? Is the ink to "thin" for the pen?
