FAQs

What is the matte finish like?

The matte finish is a unique feature of the Pentel Mattehop Gel Pen. The ink dries to a plastic-look finish, providing a distinct, non-glossy appearance.

Can I use these pens on dark paper?

While the pens work on coloured paper, the matte finish and opacity are designed to work well on lighter-coloured paper. For dark paper, the colours may not appear as vibrant.

Are the pens refillable?

No, the Pentel Mattehop Gel Pens are not refillable. When the ink runs out, you will need to replace the entire pen.

What is the ink made of?

The ink is a high-opacity gel ink formulated to provide a smooth writing experience and a distinctive matte finish when dry.

How should I store the pens?

Store the pens horizontally in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. This will help prevent the ink from drying out.

Can I use these pens for calligraphy?

These pens are great for drawing and illustrations, but they are not specifically designed for calligraphy. Their smooth ink flow and bold colors can be useful for lettering, but you may need to experiment to see if they meet your specific calligraphy needs.

Troubleshooting

Pen not writing or ink flow is inconsistent.

Ensure the pen tip is clean and free from debris. Try gently pressing the tip on paper to start the ink flow. Store the pen horizontally to keep the ink flowing correctly.

Colour appears faded or not opaque.

Make sure you are using appropriate paper. Use a better-quality paper or a paper specifically designed for gel pens to get the best outcome.
