Ink drying out due to moisture evaporation.
\nProblems with dried ink if the pen is not used for three to six months.
\nIt can be necessary to clean the pen using the Platinum Ink Cleaner Kit or even to repair or replace the nib itself if the damage due to dried ink is too severe.
\nAt the request of customers, Platinum Pen Company have gone back to the basics to deal with this problem.
