FAQs

Are these pens refillable?

No, the Zebra Fuente pens are designed as disposable writing instruments and are not refillable.

What type of ink do these pens use?

These pens use a water-based ink, providing a smooth and consistent flow suitable for everyday writing.

What is the nib size?

The nib size is 0.6mm, which is considered a fine point for fountain pens, offering precise lines.

Can I use these pens for calligraphy or art?

While they provide a consistent line, they are not specifically designed for calligraphy or art, which often require flexible or specialized nibs. However, they can be used for basic sketching or doodling.

What are the benefits of a disposable fountain pen?

The primary benefits are convenience (no refills needed), consistent performance, and the smooth writing experience characteristic of fountain pens, all at an accessible price point.

Is the packaging recyclable?

How many pens are in a pack?

Each pack contains 12 disposable fountain pens.

Troubleshooting

Pen not writing or skipping

Ensure the cap was removed properly. Gently shake the pen downwards a few times. Check if the nib is clogged with paper fibers; if so, try to gently dislodge them. If the pen has been exposed to extreme temperatures or left uncapped for extended periods, the ink may have dried.

Ink bleeding or smudging

This can occur on certain types of paper. Ensure you are using the pen on smooth, non-absorbent paper. Allow ink to dry for a moment before touching or highlighting written text. Ensure the pen is not being pressed too hard into the paper.

Inconsistent ink flow

Store the pen tip-down or horizontally when not in use. Avoid dropping or jarring the pen, which can disrupt the internal ink feed. Ensure the cap is always replaced tightly to maintain the seal and prevent drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
