FAQs

What type of ink does this pen use?

This is a ballpoint pen and uses Waterman's proprietary ballpoint ink refills.

How do I replace the ink cartridge?

Unscrew the barrel of the pen from the grip section. The old refill will be attached to the grip; pull it out and insert the new refill, then reassemble the pen.

Is this pen suitable for left-handed writers?

Yes, the quick-drying ink and smooth ballpoint tip make it suitable for left-handed writers, minimizing the risk of smudging.

What are the dimensions of the pen?

The pen has a generous silhouette for comfortable writing, but specific dimensions are not provided in the product details. It is designed for an executive feel.

What is the warranty period for this pen?

Waterman offers a warranty on its writing instruments, typically covering manufacturing defects. Specific warranty details should be confirmed with the retailer or Waterman customer service.

Can the pen be engraved?

The metal cap and trim offer surfaces suitable for engraving. It is recommended to consult with a professional engraving service to ensure the process does not damage the pen's finish.

What occasions is this pen best suited for as a gift?

The pen is ideal for marking momentous occasions such as graduations, promotions, retirements, anniversaries, or as a distinguished corporate gift.

Troubleshooting

Pen not writing or skipping

Ensure the ballpoint tip is clean. If the issue persists, the ink cartridge may be depleted or dry. Replace the ballpoint refill with a new Waterman ballpoint refill.

Ink smudging

The ink is designed to dry quickly. If smudging occurs, ensure you are not applying excessive pressure and allow a moment for the ink to set before touching the written surface. Check that you are using the correct ink refill type.

Loose cap

Ensure the cap is properly seated on the pen. If it feels consistently loose, inspect the interior of the cap and the pen's body for any damage. Contact customer support if damage is suspected.

Scratches on the lacquer finish

Minor surface scratches can sometimes be buffed out gently with a specialized plastic polish or a very fine microfiber cloth. For deeper scratches, professional restoration may be required. Store the pen carefully to prevent future scratches.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care: To maintain the pen's pristine appearance:

  1. Wipe the barrel and cap with a soft, dry cloth regularly.
  2. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth, ensuring the pen is completely dry afterward.
  3. Avoid exposing the pen to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for extended periods.
  4. Store the pen in its original gift box or a pen pouch when not in use to prevent scratches on the lacquer and metal trim.
