I was at a local flea market a couple of weeks ago and bought a box of pen nibs, pens and inks for not much money. The majority of the bits are Rotring but there's no instructions. I washed out the pens with soap and warm water and let them dry before filling with the Rotring ink. The problem is, the larger gauge nibs work really well but the 0.2 and 0.3mm aren't working properly, (there is next to no amount of ink getting through).
Has anybody got any ideas to get the ink flowing :-( ?
Thanks.
