Product Information

Full details

This Pentel Rolling Writer pen is designed for individuals who need to take clear, smudge-free notes. Its key benefit is the quick-drying ink that prevents smears, making it ideal for both right and left-handed writers. A caveat is that the pen is not refillable, meaning it's a disposable writing instrument. This pen features a medium point for sharp, vivid writing, a cushioned ball tip for versatile writing angles and pressure, and a comfortable contoured grip for enhanced control.

Troubleshooting

Pen is not writing or skipping

Ensure the cap was removed and the tip is not dry. Gently scribble on a scrap piece of paper to re-engage the ink flow. If the issue persists, the ink may be depleted as the pen is non-refillable.

Ink is smearing despite being "quick-drying"

While the ink is quick-drying, very heavy pressure or writing on glossy paper can still lead to some smudging. Allow a few extra seconds for the ink to dry completely on such surfaces. Ensure you are not applying excessive pressure.

Cap is difficult to remove or put on

Ensure the cap is aligned properly before attempting to remove or replace it. If it feels tight, twist gently while pulling or pushing. Check for any debris inside the cap or on the pen's barrel.
