A misbehaving Rotring Core

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hello,

I've posted here before about my misbehaving Rotring Core. It's been
giving me about a-forth of the original ink flow.

My metric is that before, if I wiped the broad-side of the nib with a
tissue paper, it would be wet with ink. No amount of wiping would get
that nib totally clean of ink, and the pen wrote very very well.

Now, I can't get any ink onto the nib, even if I wick the slit.

Anyways, I took the suggestion of soaking the pen in a soapy solution
overnight, but it was to no avail.

The pen still has very poor ink flow.

Maybe I should try and take apart the Core. I can't figure out how to do
it though.

buy a better pen...

just kidding - and seeing if Ms. Satrap is paying attention.

I really don't know at this point other than contacting Rotring CS
(and who might that be?) Sounds like it may be a problem with feed
and nib configuration if a good soak made no difference.

Maybe try one more thing - flush more forcibly with something like a
bulb syringe (the sort you get in pharmacies for cleaning ears.)

there's always one of the repair folks - but I imagine if you can find
a distributor who can help for warranty repair that might actually be
quicker.

I heard that!

Well, I am surprised about the problems with Core. I would suggest calling the
repair center (same as Waterman/Parker) at 1-800-BESTPEN.

And, KCat, I just gotta update you soon!
