Troubleshooting

Ink flow is inconsistent or marker is skipping.

Ensure the nib is clean and free of debris. Gently press the nib against the paper to encourage ink flow. Check that you are writing on a smooth surface. If the problem persists, try replacing the marker.

Ink is bleeding or feathering on the paper.

Use a thicker paper stock or a paper designed for calligraphy. Reduce the pressure applied to the nib. Test the marker on a small area of the paper before starting your project.
