I am having similar problems with a .003 and a .005 marker. They work for like 5 minutes and then just quit on me.

I have soaked the tips in alcohol and Mr Leveling Thinner. Still don't work. I haven't tried other solvents yet.

And these are brand new markers.

Insert wise quote here.

Sounds like a cool trick to try... One more that could be handy would be to dip the tip in come Gunze Mr. Colour Thinner. That worked for me once or twice and I guess the thinner dissolved the dried ink - maybe that will help somebody..

I used isopropyl alcohol just the other day to bring a Sharpie back to life after I forgot to put the cap back on it.  Just dipped the tip in and left it there for a couple of seconds.  Writes like new again.

Believe it or Not!

   This has happened to me with a Molotow pen too! I wash the tip off with Acetone and it works fine again. That's the large point version though. iIdon't know about the small tip one because mine got mis-placed.  I accidentally grabbed the "Mister Thinner" yesterday. It worked too! Not as well though, It took more soaking!

Revive felt tip marker

Specifically the ones with .05 tiips or similar we use to scribe panel lines.

I draw black highly detailed scenes with fine point artist black tip pens. generally .003 and .005 in size. Sometimes they quit on me in the middle of a project. These pens are not inexpensive so to revive them and the ones similar to panel line markers like Gundm markers I take some fine grit sandpaper 1000 and maybe 1500 grit and lightly run the tip vertically across the paper 2-4 times I think what happens is the ink dries and blocks the porous surface. This trick has saved me many bucks...
