Do they do quality control at this level? Because they certainly don't for M200 - the pen costs like all my other three combined and doubled and is by far the worst writer of all.

AlexCzarI have 2 m200 type pens (m205 and m215) and while both write well, the m215 came with a broad nib which has some issues. I replaced it with a fine based on my own preference which is excellent. If you bought from a dealer, I'd contact them, they should help you out. It is sad, but I've encountered poor writers at many price points. Having support after the sale really helps on bigger purchases. Hope you get it resolved, as a pelikan in good shape is an excellent pen.

AlexCzarGotcha. Well, I don't think MD is seen as an authorized dealer, so you might not get much help. I'd clean it, a lot more than seems necessary. If that doesn't work, your alternative may be to order a new nib or have someone tune it. It's a tough situation, and I have been there myself. Fortunately, the pens I had which didn't write well eventually did start working after multiple cleanings (two sailor pens). I ordered my replacement pelikan nib from thewritingdesk.co.uk
They test their nibs I believe, and even with shipping from UK to the US it was the best deal I've found. Good luck, hopefully a few thorough cleanings will help you as they have me in the past.

StapletronIf it can be tuned on the cheap somewhere, I'll do that, otherwise, I'll just steer clear of Pelikan, their business practice looks dishonest to me.
