I have a problem, it would seem.
I have had my TWSBI 540 for a week now, and have been loving it, but ever since I loaded it with Noodler's bad Belted Kingfisher it refuses to work properly with just about any other ink I have. It won't start properly, when it does start I get only a fine line where the slit is rather than the full 1.5mm italic stroke. And then it dries out again.
It has even stopped performing as well as it did with Apache sunset, which it seemed quite happy with at first and was the main reason I bought the 1.5mm stub.
I have cleaned and scrubbed the feed several times, and have now loaded the BBK into it again, and it is working flawlessly again.
Given all the nasty rumours about some Noodler's inks (that I have so far chosen to ignore), I do feel like I should ask the question: could the ink have done something to my feed? It doesn't really sound plausible, since a damaged feed wouldn't work for any ink, but I don't know what else it could be...
