Troubleshooting
Ink flow is inconsistent or won't start.
Shake the pen vigorously. Press the nib down firmly on a scrap surface for a few seconds to prime it and allow ink to flow.
Ink has smudged on the tile surface.
Wipe the excess ink off the tile immediately with a damp cloth while it is still wet. If it has dried, a slightly more abrasive cleaner may be needed, but test in an inconspicuous area first.
Color coverage is uneven or patchy.
Ensure the grout is clean and dry before application. Apply a second coat after the first has dried completely if necessary.
Pen seems to be drying out quickly.
Make sure the cap is sealed tightly after each use. Store the pen upright with the nib facing down.
