Ink Disappearing

[cotangens]

Hi.

 

I have a rather old pen form "Kobold", filled with Pelikan Blue.

I haven't used it for 3 months and now the ink is gone.

Suprisingly, there is no ink, where the pen was during these months.

 

Can you tell me what happened?

Does ink evaporate so fast?

Unfortunately, it may be dried up inside the pen. The water content may have evaporated leaving the solids to clog the nib, feed and reservoir.

[I am not a number]

As jar says, it will evaporate over time.

Actually, the Kobold used it all to rewrite the "program" on the paper baked inside its head ... :-)

:blink: That's golems, not kobolds. Kobolds & nyckels are hill- or mine-trolls ; golems are Rabbinical androids. It's a vital distinction.

Yep - the ink evaporated. Just fill it up with clean water and write with it. It should work fine!

I thought Chthulu was making a COBOL pun. Either way- amusing.

Whups! You're right, of course; I need more coffee ...
