Hi, I did a couple of searches, but if this is answered elsewhere I didn't see, just point me to it. I just got a TWSBI 580 and put some Diamine Kelly Green in it. The ink looks like it has tiny spots in it and I can't figure out why. I know at least one other time this happened, but I don't remember the pen/ink combo. Anyone know what causes this? how to fix it?

My one year old, sparingly used lamy 2000 fp with the makrolon finish has developed mysterious whitish grey spots that just won't go. I've tried using a dry as well as a damp (with clean room temperature tap water) microfibre cloth to gently polish this away, but that didn't work. Did anyone ever face a similar issue. Would appreciate a solution, if any. I don't know the material quite well and am unaware of its properties and interactions with cleaning substances. I've already contacted lamy support, but past experiences with them haven't been satisfactory and never prompt. I've attached some photos for reference. Hope they help. Any suggestions will be highly appreciated. Cheers! rs

http://www.pensbylyleross.com/1/post...tted-pens.html I finally did something that I've wanted to do for a while now - a spotted pen. The original was always going to be a dalmatian pattern - white with black spots. I started it before the ladybug, but a little mishap down at the brewery delayed the dalmatian, and the ladybug was finished first. The ladybug was suggested by ethernautrix at a pen posse gathering a few weeks ago, and I thought the colors would be perfect for a pen. I'm very happy with how it turned out! The first one isn't perfect, but I am confident that the next one (after the dalmatian at least - more learning opportunities with that one http://fpgeeks.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.png ) will be. I'm very happy to add these to my roster. Next up will be more colors, and a drop shadow idea that I have. It should be really cool... if it works http://fpgeeks.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.png There's also a video at the link above, and a few more photos, but the photos posted below are probably the best of the bunch.. Thanks for looking! http://www.pensbylyleross.com/uploads/1/2/6/0/12608908/1538997_orig.jpg?168 http://www.pensbylyleross.com/uploads/1/2/6/0/12608908/1148999_orig.jpg Lyle
