FAQs

Are these pens permanent?

These pens feature a fine tip with a 0.6 mm line width.

Are these pens refillable?

Yes, the Lumocolor pens feature a refillable shaft to allow for extended use.

Can I take these on a plane?

How do I remove the ink?

The ink can be easily removed by wiping the surface with a damp cloth.

Troubleshooting

The pen is not writing smoothly

Store the pen in a tip-down position for 15 minutes to allow ink to flow to the nib.

Ink is smearing upon application

Ensure the surface is completely free of dust, oils, or moisture before writing.

Ink is difficult to remove

Use a slightly wetter cloth or a dedicated whiteboard cleaner if the ink has been on the surface for a very long time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal performance, keep the cap securely fastened when the pen is not in use to prevent the tip from drying out. These pens are specifically designed for non-porous surfaces like overhead foils, CD/DVDs, and smooth plastic. Avoid using them on standard paper, as the ink is not designed to absorb into fibers. For maintenance, store the pens horizontally to keep the ink flow consistent. If the ink appears faint, ensure the cap is clicked shut and store it tip-down for a few minutes to gravity-feed the nib.
