FAQs
How long does the ink last?
The ink's longevity depends on the amount of use and the cleaning frequency. The waterproof properties help it withstand regular cleaning.
Can I use this pen on colored grout?
The Artline EK419 is specifically designed for cream-colored grout. Using it on other colors may not produce the desired results.
How do I clean the nib?
Gently wipe the nib with a clean, damp cloth if needed. Avoid excessive cleaning to preserve the pen's longevity.
What should I do if the ink bleeds?
If bleeding occurs, quickly wipe the excess ink with a damp cloth before it dries. Ensure you are applying the pen correctly along the grout lines.
How many pens do I need?
The number of pens needed depends on the area you plan to cover. One pen typically covers a significant area, but it's wise to have extras for larger projects.
Troubleshooting
Ink not flowing
Shake the pen vigorously and press the nib firmly onto a piece of paper to start the ink flow.
Uneven application
Apply the ink slowly and steadily, ensuring the nib is aligned with the grout line. Multiple passes may be needed.
Smudging after application
Allow the ink to dry completely before touching or cleaning the surface.
