Troubleshooting

Ensure the cap was removed. If the pen has been unused for a while, try scribbling on a scrap piece of paper to re-engage the ink flow. Check that the tip is not clogged with debris.

Allow the ink to dry for a few seconds before touching the writing. Smudging can be more common on glossy paper types.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
