FAQs

What is the ink type used in this pen?

This pen uses waterproof pigment ink.

What is the line width produced by this pen?

The 0.7mm ballpoint writes a 0.5mm line.

Is the ink refillable?

This particular model is not designed for refills; it is a disposable rollerball pen.

What does the 'Eye Designer' signify?

It signifies a special edition pen released to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Uni-Ball Eye range, based on the popular UB-157 model, featuring a unique barrel design and wine ink.

How should I store the pen?

Store the pen horizontally or tip-up to ensure the ink flows correctly to the tip. Always replace the cap after use.

Can this pen be used for official documents?

Yes, the waterproof pigment ink makes it suitable for official documents as it is resistant to water and fading.

Troubleshooting

Pen is skipping or not writing smoothly.

Ensure the cap was replaced after the last use to prevent the tip from drying. Try dabbing the tip gently on a soft cloth. If the issue persists, the ink cartridge may be depleted.

Ink appears watery or inconsistent.

Check that the pen is not stored for extended periods at extreme temperatures. Store horizontally or tip-up. If the problem continues, the ink may be compromised.

Ink smudges immediately after writing.

Allow slightly more drying time, especially on glossy paper. Pigment ink is waterproof once dry, but can be susceptible to smudging while wet.
