The second batch I cleaned the new way went even easier than the first, and these only rested overnight with water in the converter+feed.
Most of these flushed just fine with their own converter and I barely needed the bulb syringe.
Just one more smaller batch of Sharks after this and I'm done with the backlog. I loaded water in those when I finished these up.
Most of these are destined for storage for now. The Platinum Desk Pen seals great, but I'm not a fan of the long tail. The Jinhao Century, 82, and Shark all seal well, but I'll keep them empty in case I get new inks I want to try.
These Vectors seal very badly since they are both very old and worn down. The Black/Purple forest pens don't seal all that well, but they're OK in a pinch.
