Hello, I have noticed that my Parker 51 vacumatic does not write when I leave it inked and unused for a few days (less than a week). However, if I submerge the tip of the nib in water, it starts writing right away. I have also noticed that this drying up does not happen if I use the pen every day. I would be grateful if someone could tell me if this is normal, as I have not experienced this with other pens that I have.

I apologize in advance if there are any grammatical errors in the text above, as English is not my native language.
