#NewPenDay! Actually, I received it yesterday. I cleaned it out, inked it up with Diamine Golden Brown, & tested it out. It was *horrible*. Turns out, that ink isn't for this particular feed & nib. They couldn't keep up or something & kept running dry. I was really distraught because I thought it was the pen & I find this material to be so pretty. Then I remembered that I had similar struggles with that ink in a different pen. I cleaned it out again & tried a reliable, known good, go-to ink (Pelikan 4001 Brilliant Black) with much greater success. It's unfortunate that I can't match it up with the Diamine ink because the combination would have been perfect. I'm going to give Pelikan 4001 Brilliant Brown a try at some point because I really want a brown ink in this pen. Turquoise would also be a good choice but I already have too many blue & green inks.

Diamine Golden Brown is the only ink I've ever had problems like this with.
