What is the recommended method to restart the ink flow in a pen nib that hasn't been used for an extended period of time?

Then if you are using a converter, after sucking the ink in, I just screw the converter down, till ink flows out the nib, Or if you are using a cartridge, you can always give it the ol shake, or wet a paper towel and put the nib to it, that will start the capillary action going. If the pen has been sitting for a couple days with ink in it, a little dip in a cup of water will get the juices flowing again. I hope this helps. But the best one, is if you have a lever fill, I like slamming the lever down and squirting someone []
