Product Information
Full details
This Janrax reception pen is designed for environments where guest or customer sign-in is frequent, such as reception desks, waiting areas, or information points. Its key benefit is the secure chain attachment, preventing loss or theft and ensuring a pen is always available. A minor caveat is that the sticky base, while useful for some surfaces, may not adhere permanently to all materials. This ballpoint pen features a durable metal chain and an optional peelable sticky base for surface mounting, offering a reliable writing solution.

FAQs
What type of ink does the pen use?
The pen uses a standard ballpoint ink cartridge. It comes with black ink and is compatible with Janrax replaceable black and blue ballpoint refills.
How long is the chain?
The product description does not specify the exact length of the chain, but it is designed to provide enough slack for comfortable writing while keeping the pen tethered.
Can I replace the sticky base if it wears out?
The sticky base is typically not designed for replacement. If it loses its adhesion, you may need to consider alternative mounting methods or purchasing a new unit.
What color is the ink initially?
The Janrax White Reception Pen comes with black ink.
Is the pen refillable?
Yes, the pen is refillable. Replaceable black and blue ink refills are available in the Janrax Range.
Can I attach the base to a wall?
The sticky base is designed for flat surfaces like counters or desks. Attaching it to a wall might be possible if the surface is suitable and flat, but adhesion may vary.
Troubleshooting
Pen not writing
Check if the ink cartridge has dried out or run out. Replace with a new Janrax refill. Ensure the pen tip is not obstructed.
Chain is broken or detached
Contact the retailer or Janrax for a replacement part or unit if still under warranty. If out of warranty, a replacement pen may be needed.
Sticky base not adhering
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth before application. The adhesive on the base may have degraded over time; consider using a stronger adhesive or a different mounting solution if needed.
Pen refills do not fit
Confirm you are using the correct Janrax refill size. Some non-Janrax refills may have slightly different dimensions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Peel and Stick (Optional): If desired, peel the protective film from the sticky base and press firmly onto a clean, dry, flat surface. Allow a few minutes for adhesion before attaching the pen.
- Attach Pen: Ensure the pen is securely connected to the chain.
Compatibility:
- Ink Refills: Compatible with Janrax black and blue ballpoint refills. Standard ballpoint refills may also fit, but Janrax branded refills are recommended for optimal performance.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the pen and base with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Ink Replacement: To replace the ink, unscrew the tip of the pen, remove the old refill, and insert the new one, then reassemble the pen.
- Sticky Base Maintenance: If the sticky base loses adhesion, it cannot be reactivated. For a more permanent solution, consider alternative mounting methods if available and appropriate.
