LloydW Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Hello, I own a older Namiki Vanishing Point that I have had for many years and use it rarely because it seems to hold almost no ink and starts streaking after a few lines.I like its portability, but is too frustrating to use.Is there something I can do to remedy this problem?Can I change from the squeeze converter to a screw converter?Is there some way to get it to draw in more ink?Photos below.Thank you,Lloyd Link to post Share on other sites
CAG_1787 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Have you tried the Pilot Converter that comes with the current VPs? Other than that, you could always fill the aerometric converter that you have with an ink syringe. “You cultivate the essential virtues: high purpose, intelligence, decency, humility, fear of the Lord, and the passion for freedom.” - William F.

LloydW Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 CAG Thank you. I will try that. Any suggestion how to avoid it drying up and streaking when their is still ink in the cartridge?Thank you.Lloyd Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly G Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Does the "trap door" shut tightly? With older VP's, ink can build up and prevent a tight seal. You may need to flush the barrel with water and dry thourghly with warm air. That is one thought. May we live, not by our fears but by our hopes; not by our words but by our deeds; not by our disappointments but by our dreams. Link to post Share on other sites
