So pretty much have only been making the higher end kits with the stainless 5888 Schmidt refills and well I am just not happy. Either I am doing something gravely wrong or these refills just plain suck!
First of all they are not writing nearly as smooth initially as what I would have thought - kinda scratchy almost. I have double taken apart and reassembled only to get the same result. Ideas?
Second of all after about 10 days of normal use while at work I notice that when signing my name the ink will kinda well give out - almost like its running out of ink even though it's relatively new. Even when just printing instead of signing i still have to press very hard and go really slow just to get ink to flow? I wish I had a pic but hopefully you get the idea. Ideas?
Anyone else experiencing the same or have any suggestions other than "make fountain pens"? ( actually got that advice already!)
