Pilot Mr Skipping

[HCD]

I'e just got a pilot mr about a week ago and sometimes it skipped but now it is skipping more and more
I've clean it and the ink that i'm using is RK Permanent Blue
It seems to be skipping more on one notebook but all my other FP do not do that on that notebook
Any thing that I can do to correct it ?
I've also look in the nib for misalignment but found none .

Thanks

There will surely be more expert opinions offered, but here's mine. Try cleaning with a little mild (hand-) dishwashing detergent in lots of water, and rinse very well. It has worked a few times for me, on pens with similar issues, and is easy and cheap to try. You want a clean, oil/grease-free nib and feed. Good luck!

It could be a variety of factors.

It could be the ink (I'm not familiar with what you're using, although I like R&K Salix and Scabies): there's a possibility that the ink just doesn't do well in that particular pen Some pens write drier or wetter than others -- even within the same brand and model, with the same size nib; I have, for instance, four Noodler's Konrads, and the Poseidon Pearl just writes a lot drier than than the ebonite Konrad or either of the other two resin-body ones. Ditto for one of my Parker Vectors -- even with a medium nib it writes *way* drier than the firehose F)

It could be the paper (some are more FP "friendly" than others).

It could be the nib (particularly the tipping, such as baby's bottom) although it might be the nib width on the pen; I have a Metropolitan (the US version) and when I got it I got a medium nib because the fine I tried seemed scratchy.

It could be, as Brian_14 said, that it needs to be flushed well (in case it still has some of the manufacturing oils and such in it).

It could be that you may be getting oils from your hand on the paper (in which case you may need to put another piece of paper over the part of the page you're resting your hand on).

It could be that there is some problem, such as the feed not being set up correctly with the nib.

It could even be a combination of one or more of those factors.

If you could post pictures of the nib, with closeups of the nib, feed, and tipping, the more experienced people might be able to diagnose what your issue(s) are and suggest more concrete remedies.

Thanks brianm_14 and inkstainedruth

I've flushed the pen and removed the nib and feed and put it back "perfectly" and still skips

i've tried in other papers and did not skip

mi guessing is the paper but it is weird because it skips on one side of the page but not on the other

oil from my hands is very unlikely because skips on the top of the page where my hand as not been in contact with

Here are 2 pics of the nib as suggested

You didn't mention trying a different ink - do you have another?

I find ink issues can exaggerate those weird paper things. Mine hates Lamy Turq and will skip with that on lots of papers, sometimes only one side or certain sheets, when it doesn't otherwise with other inks.

I've just tested with R&K but I'll test with other ink I have a few Thanks

The pen was still skipping even after changing the ink
I just find that this problem is really particular to one specific notebook so i'll just stop using that one

Thanks very much all of you for all the help
