Not sure. I have seen people stick the tip of a ball point pen in a flame for a second to make it work again.

DD says she has luck running them under really hot water sometimes.

I've done this with gel pens too.

I have a terrible time with them.. I have cheap ones all the way up to the most expensive ones and sooner or later they all do the same thing.. You can see there is plenty of ink, but they just won't write..

I've tried the "flame" thing, but no luck.. Maybe I'll try the "hot water" thing when I get back to DD's - holding the longest part with all of the ink in it under the hot water.. I really don't want to have to invest in buying all of those different colors again..
