Only thing I can think of when that has happened to me is squeezing the cartridge a bit to hard when fitting.
Also keep the pen up the right way, NOT flat or upside down.

Can't think of any other reason but I am sure some of the aficionados of ink pens will be able to shed more light on it :thinks:
