It means the ink is permanent and resistant to fading, water, and chemical alteration, meeting international standards for document permanence.
Is this pen suitable for left-handed writers?

Can I use this pen on all types of paper?

What is the line width 'M'?
Line width 'M' refers to a medium point, offering a good balance between boldness and precision, suitable for most everyday writing tasks.
How should I store the pen?
Store the pen capped (if applicable) in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to ensure its longevity and prevent the ink from drying out.
What does 'airplane safe' mean?
It signifies that the pen has a mechanism for automatic pressure equalization, preventing ink from leaking due to changes in cabin pressure during flights.
Is the ink erasable?
No, the ink is indelible, meaning it is permanent and not designed to be erased.
Troubleshooting
Pen not writing or skipping
Ensure the protective cap (if present) has been removed. Check if the ink cartridge is depleted. Try scribbling on a scrap piece of paper to restart ink flow.
Ink smudging excessively
Allow a few extra seconds for the ink to dry before touching the written surface. Ensure you are not applying excessive pressure while writing. Clean any residue from the pen tip.
Ink leakage during travel
Confirm that the pen is indeed the 'airplane safe' model. Ensure the cap is securely fastened (if applicable). If leakage occurs, wipe the pen tip and barrel clean.
