Welp, it's #FountainPen cleaning and re-inking day. #Today I re-learned why I don't use shimmer inks in my #TWSBI Diamond 580. In fact, I usually reserve them exclusively for dip pens.
Time to meticulously clean out a clogged feed. It didn't even make it a paragraph.

Say what you will about the materials quality of #TWSBI pens, but their customer service is top-notch. They're working on sending me replacement parts for my pen, though there are still some lingering shipping issues in the aftermath of the Canada Post strike. #FountainPens

counterpoint is that plenty of budget pen makers don’t have these issues to nearly the same degree… not to mention budget pens from the big manufacturers like Pilot or Faber Castell

@paradoxmo I'm happy to give some other pens a go, but this was really about getting my favourite one back up and running again.

What ink were you using?
