A friend's pen (Pilot Heritage 91 <M> tip) with a con 40 has drystarting problems. The tines are good, the feed matches with the breather hole, and the ink used is a wet ink (Waterman inspired Blue) and they are using Rhodia paper. During writing, if the tip of the nib is lifted for more than 2 seconds, the tip dries up and so in the next word to be written(or even letter) there is drystarting. While the tip touches the paper the nib is perfect: wet with no skipping. But the moment the tip leaves the paper, it immediately dries up. So what I did is I starting writing and when I stopped, I immediately checked the tip and I saw that within 1.5 - 2 sec. the ink that was on the tip was sucked in the nib. Is that normal? That doesn't happen with my Metropolitan, where the ink stays on the tip after writing, even with the driest of inks. Help would be very much appreciated.

Differences between Pilot Custom 74 and Heritage 91
Asteris posted a topic in Fountain & Dip Pens - First Stop
Except from the shape and the converter included, is there any other difference? Don't they use the same nib?
