    Default vanishing point nib problem

    Hi, I have a vanishing point in fine nib. The nib seems to have gotten misaligned. Can anyone recommend how i can learn how to fix that myself? with a new nib around 77.00 it doesnt seems like it makes much sense to have it repaired.

    thank you,

    Check out as many YouTube videos on checking and smoothing nibs as you can, and if it's just that the tines no longer exactly line up straight, it shouldn't be impossible to fix it yourself.

    I've always liked the way drgoretecx (Dr. Ken Cavers) explained it. http://kcavers.blogspot.com/2012/09/...tment-101.html
