FAQs

What is the point size of these pens?

These Staples Sonix pens feature a medium point, typically around 0.7mm.

Is the ink permanent?

The ink is described as water and fade resistant, making it durable for many applications, but not necessarily archival permanent.

Can I refill these pens?

These are typically designed as disposable pens and are not intended for refills.

What color is the ink?

The ink color is blue.

How many pens are in a pack?

This product is sold as a dozen, meaning it contains 12 pens.

Are these pens suitable for left-handed writers?

While the non-slip grip aids control, gel ink can smudge. Left-handed writers may need to exercise caution and allow adequate drying time.

Troubleshooting

Pen not writing or skipping

Ensure the pen tip is extended. Try scribbling on a rough surface like scrap paper to restart ink flow. Check if the ink cartridge is empty.

Ink smudging excessively

Allow a few extra seconds for the gel ink to dry on the paper, especially on less absorbent surfaces. Avoid rubbing the freshly written ink.

Retractable mechanism is stiff or stuck

Gently try to click the mechanism a few times. Ensure no debris is obstructing the mechanism. If the issue persists, the pen may be defective.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

These pens require no setup beyond preparing them for use. Simply click the retractable mechanism to extend the pen tip. To retract, click the button again.

Compatibility:

These pens are designed for use on standard paper types. Compatibility may vary on glossy or coated papers due to the nature of gel ink drying times.

Care:

  • Always retract the pen tip when not in use to prevent accidental marks and to protect the tip.
  • Store pens in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve ink quality.
  • If the pen tip appears dry or skips, try gently scribbling on a scrap piece of paper to re-engage the ink flow.
  • Avoid exposing the pens to extreme temperatures, as this can affect ink performance.
