Troubleshooting
Pen is not writing or writing faintly.
Ensure the refill is correctly inserted. Check if the protective tip cap has been removed. Try gently rolling the ballpoint tip on a piece of scrap paper to encourage ink flow. The pen might be out of ink if heavily used.
Ink smudges easily.
Allow a few moments for the oil-based ink to dry on the paper, especially on glossy surfaces. Ensure you are using a compatible pen model, as incorrect fit can affect ink delivery.
Refill does not fit the pen.
Verify that your pen model is listed under the compatibility section. These refills are specifically designed for certain Pilot pens and may not fit universal refill slots.
