I seem to recall somebody saying they had flow problems with Liason's. I've got one of the wood grain ebonites and it didn't work with catridges, so I went with the converter. It's not that the pen isn't smooth and doesn't write - the ink flow is just on the lite side. I wish I could get just a little more ink into the nib. If I apply a little preasssure on the converter I do get better ink flow.

Did not do well with Pelikan inks - and I'd say 6 out of 10 with Waterman inks. I could floss the nib but don't really want to mess around with it. I'm doing a second wash of the nib right now. Is this a characteristic of Liasons ??

thanks all. always enjoy posting here. Just feels like home all the time.
