    Default FPR Himalayan keeps ceasing to flow

    I bought FPR's Himalayan fountain pen with a flex nib last year and I am having some trouble with it. It begins to write and then midway through a paragraph the ink stops flowing despite still being half full. I was using Diamine Ancient copper in it. Any tips on what to do?


    Many thanks,

    Josh

    Ancient copper can leave some major crud in the feed channels. It is nothing "bad" with the ink but just what that ink does. It might be time to pull the nib and feed and go to town on it with a toothbrush.
