Product Information

Full details

This Bic 4 Colours Pens Collection is ideal for students, artists, and professionals who need to switch between ink colors quickly without carrying multiple pens. The key benefit is the convenience of having four ink colors in a single pen, enabling efficient note-taking, annotation, and creative expression. A potential caveat is that the mini versions may feel less substantial for prolonged writing sessions compared to full-sized pens. This collection includes four pens: two original-sized BIC 4 Colours Original pens and two compact BIC 4 Colours Mini pens, with each pen offering black, blue, red, and green ink (Original) or pink, purple, turquoise, and lime green (Fashion Mini). All pens feature smooth-writing, medium 1.0 mm points and reliable, fluid ink.

FAQs

How many ink colors are in each pen?

Each Bic 4 Colours pen contains four ink colors: the Original pens have black, blue, red, and green. The Mini Fashion Colours pens have pink, purple, turquoise, and lime green.

Can I replace the ink cartridges?

No, the Bic 4 Colours pens are designed as all-in-one units and are not refillable. They are intended to be replaced once the ink is depleted.

What is the point size of the pens?

All pens in this collection feature a medium 1.0 mm point size.

Are the mini pens suitable for children?

Yes, the compact size of the Mini pens makes them comfortable for children to hold and use, alongside adults.

What is the main advantage of using a 4 Colours pen?

The main advantage is the convenience of having four different ink colors in a single pen, allowing for quick color changes without needing to switch writing instruments.

How do I switch between colors?

To switch colors, simply push the colored slider corresponding to the ink you wish to use at the top of the pen. To retract a color, press the clip down.

What type of ink is used?

These pens use a smooth, fluid ballpoint ink designed for consistent writing.

Troubleshooting

Ink color does not retract or extend properly.

Gently wiggle the slider for the desired color. Ensure no other ink points are extended simultaneously. If the mechanism feels stuck, try extending and retracting all colors a few times.

Pen is skipping or writing unevenly.

Ensure the correct ink color point is fully extended. Try writing on a different surface or with a slightly firmer pressure. If the issue persists across all colors, the pen may be nearing the end of its ink life.

Ink has leaked onto the pen exterior.

Wipe the exterior clean with a soft, dry cloth. Store the pen tip-up or horizontally immediately to prevent further leakage.

Click mechanism feels loose or weak.

This is normal wear over time. Continue to use as directed, ensuring only one color is extended at a time for best results.
