The second is a matter of ink viscosity and not the pen. The problem is an air bubble that gets trapped right at the mouth of the converter and so stops ink from entering the feed.
There are several very easy to solve possibilities. My preferred solution are gold compression style springs like those used on keyboard keys. You can also add a surfactant to the ink; use a toothpick that gets dipped in dish detergent and then stick the end momentarily into the ink in the converter. In that method less is better; don't use a drop of detergent just whatever sticks to the tip of the toothpick.
Great info, jar, thank you! I will try the toothpick/detergent idea — no little compression springs around to experiment with ;-)
In terms of the ink being in the section, why would that be? For white resin it winds up discoloring the entire section with ink. Is there any way to clean that out?
