Troubleshooting

Pen not writing or skipping

Ensure the cap was properly secured to prevent the tip from drying. Try scribbling on a scrap piece of paper to re-initiate ink flow. If the issue persists, the ink may be depleted.

Ink smudging

Allow the ink a moment to dry on the paper, especially on glossy surfaces. Avoid touching the freshly written ink.

Pen feels scratchy

Check for any debris on the pen tip. Ensure you are writing on a smooth surface. Sometimes, a very fine tip can feel slightly more textured than a broader tip.

Care: To ensure optimal performance and longevity:

  • Clean the exterior of the pen with a dry or slightly damp cloth if necessary. Do not use solvents or harsh chemicals.
