FAQs

Do I need the adapter for every machine?
The adapter is essential for ensuring the pen is held at the correct height for your specific Cricut machine model.
Are the pens acid-free?
Yes, all pens in this set are acid-free, making them safe for archival projects like scrapbooking.
Can I draw freehand with these?

How do I store the pens?

Troubleshooting
The pen is not writing on the material
Ensure the pen is fully seated in the clamp and the cap is removed. Check that the 'Pen' setting is selected in the Design Space layers panel.
Ink looks faint or skips during writing
Verify that the material is flat on the mat and not wrinkled. Ensure you are using a smooth, high-quality paper surface.
The pen does not fit the clamp
Double-check that you have attached the included adapter correctly. Different Cricut models require the adapter to be positioned at specific depths.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your pens, simply remove the pen cap and insert the pen into the accessory clamp on your Cricut machine carriage. If using an older model or a specific machine requirement, attach the included adapter provided in the packaging to ensure the pen sits at the correct height.
For maintenance, always recap pens tightly immediately after use to prevent the ink from drying out. Store the pens in a horizontal position to maintain even ink distribution in the tips. Keep the pens away from extreme temperatures to preserve the chemical integrity of the water-based ink.
