Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These pens require no setup beyond removing the cap and beginning to write or draw. Ensure the cap is replaced after each use to prevent the ink from drying out.
Compatibility: The Pentel Arts Sparkle Pop Metallic Gel Pens are compatible with most paper types. For optimal performance and to minimize bleed-through or feathering, it is recommended to use them on paper with a weight of 80gsm or higher, such as cardstock, drawing paper, or quality journaling paper. They are not intended for use on glossy surfaces.
Care: To maintain the quality and longevity of your pens:
- Cap Tightly: Always replace the cap immediately after use to prevent the tip from drying out.
- Store Properly: Store pens horizontally or tip-up to ensure consistent ink flow.
- Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Do not store in direct sunlight or in areas with extreme heat or cold.
- Clean Tip (if necessary): If the tip becomes clogged with dried ink, gently wipe it with a slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid using solvents or harsh cleaners.
