FAQs

What type of ink does this pen use?

These are gel pens with a red ink formula designed for smooth writing.

Can I buy refills for these pens?

The pens feature high-quality refills. While not explicitly stated if refills are sold separately for this specific model, the clear tube allows you to monitor ink levels.

What is the writing width of the pen tip?

The writing width is 0.5mm, providing a fine line for precise writing.

How many pens are included in a pack?

Each pack contains 12 red retractable gel pens.

Is the grip removable?

The soft rubber grip is integrated into the pen's design for comfort and is not intended to be removed.

Are these pens suitable for left-handed writers?

Gel ink can sometimes smudge, especially for left-handed writers. However, the fine 0.5mm tip and quick-drying properties (typical of gel ink) may make them suitable for many.

Troubleshooting

Pen not writing

Ensure the tip is extended. Gently tap the pen tip on a piece of paper to encourage ink flow. Check if the ink refill has been depleted; the clear tube allows visual inspection.

Ink skipping or scratching

The writing surface might be too rough, or the ink refill may be low. Try a smoother paper. If the issue persists, consider replacing the refill if possible, or use a new pen from the pack.

Retraction mechanism is stiff

Check for any debris around the click mechanism. Gently try to work the mechanism back and forth. Avoid forcing it, as this could damage the pen.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These pens are ready to use out of the package. Simply extend the writing tip by clicking the top button. To retract, click the button again.

Compatibility: The pens use a proprietary refill. While the pens themselves are designed for general writing, compatibility with other brands' refills is not guaranteed.

Care:

  1. Keep the pens capped or retracted when not in use to prevent drying out or accidental marks.
  2. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  3. If the pen appears to be drying out, try gently tapping the tip on a clean surface a few times.
  4. To clean the exterior, use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
