Troubleshooting

Pen not writing or skipping

Ensure the cap was on properly. Try scribbling on a scrap piece of paper. If the issue persists, the ink may have dried out, or the tip may be clogged. Refer to the 'Care' section for cleaning the tip.

Ink smudging excessively

Allow adequate drying time before touching or layering other media. Use on smoother paper types and consider using a fixative spray for permanent artwork if smudging remains an issue.

Ink bleeding through paper

Use thicker, higher-gsm paper (e.g., cardstock, Bristol board). Avoid pressing too hard on the paper.

Metallic sheen not uniform

Ensure the pen is stored horizontally or tip-up to allow ink to flow to the tip. Shake gently before use if the metallic particles appear settled.

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:

  1. Cap Tightly: Always replace the cap immediately after use to prevent the tip from drying out.
  2. Store Properly: Store pens horizontally or tip-up to ensure consistent ink flow.
  3. Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Do not store in direct sunlight or in areas with extreme heat or cold.
  4. 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.
