Subject: Dry marking pens


| I am finding that the tips on my solvent-resistant marking pens are prone
to
| drying out.  I may label a couple hundred slides and store the pen for a
few
| days.  I always secure the cap firmly and lay it down sideways.  When I
try
| to use the pen again, the tip won't flow ink even after repeated writing.
I
| have tried getting the pen to write on slides and paper with no luck. I
have
| tried storing the pens with the tips pointing down with no luck.  Out of
| curiosity, I cut one of the bad pens in half and the cartridge inside
| appeared to still have ink.
|
| Can anybody offer me some advice on how to get the ink flowing again?
|
| Thanks,
