I've really enjoyed using my Visconti Rembrandt Rollergraphic especially with its magnetic snap cap - very reassuring each time it's closed.
But what I can't fathom is the variable performance nature of the rollerball tip.
Some seem to have trouble with it skipping and scratching which can be quite audible sometimes. Others don't have an issue and others have fixed it with a good clean out with a mild detergent solution.
I've had mixed results with some inks (like Waterman cartridges) working well but other inks, especially when using the converter, causing regular and annoying skipping and scratching.
Has anyone who has had this issue solved it permanently - is it cleaning of the tip ? Is it cartridges versus converters ? Is it certain ink brands ?
Love the pen but can't stand the scratching any longer !
Any help or insights appreciated.
