Brian,

Unfirtunately this is a common problem with TC1000 pens. Quite a few people
have written in the past to this group to say that they have just called HP
and been given a new pen free of charge. As you are out of warranty, you may
have to buy yourself a new pen - about $50, I think.

I have the same problem with mine, but I've never got around to doing
anything about it. I find that it is worst when the pen has been getting wrm
inside its pen holder. I also find that a few judicious tabs of the nib
against the side of the screnn halp to solve the problem temporarily.
