Troubleshooting

Pen skipping or not writing

Ensure the cap has been on the pen when not in use. Check if the ink cartridge is properly seated. If the pen is new, the ball might need a few strokes to activate fully. If the ink is depleted, replace the ink cartridge with a compatible Pilot refill.

Ink smudging

Allow a few moments for the water-based ink to dry, especially on glossy paper. Ensure you are not applying excessive pressure while writing. Clean the pen tip gently if there is any dried ink buildup.

Difficulty refilling the pen

Ensure you are unscrewing the correct part of the barrel. Consult the product packaging or Pilot's website for specific refill instructions if needed. Make sure the replacement refill is the correct model for the Greenball pen.

Compatibility: This pen uses specific Pilot BegreeN Greenball refills. Ensure you purchase the correct refill type to maintain optimal performance. The pen is designed for standard paper use.

Care:

  • Store the pen horizontally or tip-up to ensure consistent ink flow.
  • Avoid exposing the pen to extreme temperatures, which can affect ink performance.
  • Clean the exterior of the pen with a slightly damp cloth if necessary. Do not use harsh solvents.
