Can replacement nib fix ink skipping - Lemmy.World

Sorry if the title is a bit vague but I recently got my hands on Jinhao Dadao as a gift for someone. But the pen skips on all the papers and some of the inks I have tried. Though this is one of the smoothest nib I’ve ever written with. The seller is offering me a replacement nib but I’m not sure if it would work and if there’s a chance problem’s with the feed drying out. Can I somehow rule this out? I have a 14 days return period from Ali but if I accept the replacement nib it’ll be over.

How well have you cleaned it? The nib could need small adjustments but if you say it’s smooth it could just be the feed isn’t clean enough or saturated enough.

I’ve cleaned it twice using dishwasher soap and water, the usual treatment. With full disassembly. But if there’s a more thorough method I’ll be glad to try.

No need to, imho. If the pen is new as for a replacement (of the entire pen, not just the nib).

Sorry, not sure what you’re saying about the replacement. Should I look into replacing the entire pen or just the nib?

My bad ;)

I would ask for a new pen since it is brand new and since there is no certainty the new nib will fix the issue.

Okay thanks! I guees no use in taking the risk. I’ve started the return process.
