Nib pen ink flow
Anyone use a nib pen? I recently purchased a manuscript italic and poster set and am having a lot of trouble. This problem is hard to describe but I will try my best.
After dipping the nib does not retain any ink, it falls off like water on a greasy plate. When I try to write I get one blotch of ink on the page and then nothing.
I am using some basic Parker Quink ink - not sure if this is the issue but I don't see why it should make such a difference.
Do I need to prepare the nib somehow? I tried wiping it with dishwasher liquid and also antiseptic (don't have any alcohol) but no luck so far.
