If you use the same ink consistently, or can remember which pen has
which ink, just dip the dried up nib in that ink and start writing.
Sounds like it couldn't work, but trust me, it usually does.

Subject: Thanks for letting me vent and a new question.
To all my friends on the Zoss list and fptalk. Thanks for letting me
vent and confirming what I suspected (onus is on shipper). I still
think that half-hearted "we're sorry" from the USPS is a slap in the
face but that's my issue to wrestle with.
On to a more mundane pen-related topic: Occassionally some time will
elapse between one of my inked FPs going into rotation and despite a
full converter or cart there is a problem starting the ink flowing
again.
What methods do you use to start ink flowing again?
I myself prefer to take some water and either wet down a napkin or
tissue and gently place the nib in the dampened tissue/napkin until the
ink starts flowing again. Sometimes I may use an alcohol pad which
opens up a more stubborn or clogged nib. Last resort is to squeeze the
cartridge to force some ink into the nib.
Thanks,
- Dan D.
