Troubleshooting
Pen not writing or skipping
Ensure the cap was securely on and the pen has not dried out. Try scribbling on a scrap piece of paper to restart ink flow. Store the pen with the cap down or horizontally. Gently roll the pen tip on a damp cloth to clear any potential blockage.
Ink appears dull or less metallic
Ensure the ink has had sufficient time to dry. The metallic sheen becomes more apparent as the ink fully cures. Also, check that you are writing on a suitable surface; performance can vary on very porous or highly textured materials.
Smudging after writing
Allow adequate drying time. The ink is smudge-proof only when completely dry. Avoid touching the written area immediately after application. The drying time may vary depending on the surface and environmental humidity.
Pen feels scratchy
Check for any debris on the ballpoint tip. Ensure the pen is not being used at an extreme angle. Gentle pressure is usually sufficient for consistent ink flow.
