Over time it appears that
Over time it appears that all my pens developed a hard starting issue. I’m not sure why. Could it have anything to do be being a left handed person who underwrites?
if this is something that’s developed over time, a thorough cleaning almost always is in order
depends on how long you’re talking about here, if it’s been 1-2+ months, yeah clean it
if you’re not cleaning in between ink changing, that’d be an explanation
sometimes paper fibers/dirt/junk gets clogged up in the feed over time
lefties may see more of this as the push motion is encouraging paper fibers to jam up into the pen
brass sheet for flossing wouldn’t hurt, may not be necessary but might be worth investing in if it’s happening consistently on all your pens
could be the ink you have is drying up, check that it’s sealed well, don’t leave it uncapped for long periods of time (so the water evaporates)
ink with water evaporated can be reconstituted with distilled water
ink could be evaporating in your pens as they sit there, depending on your environment, refill them
if could be your writing style has opened up or misaligned the tines causing flow to break, which would be a little tougher to fix (especially if it’s a habit of pressing really hard or whatever)
nib can usually be adjusted, but might require a pro, do this as a last resort, try to get pro troubleshooting help before sending it away anywhere
