FAQs
Do I need to shake the pen before use?
No, this pen is designed to work immediately without shaking or pumping.
Can I use this on glossy plastic?
While it works on many surfaces, it is best suited for paper and card. It may be easily wiped off non-porous materials like plastic.
Is the ink permanent?
The ink is permanent on paper and porous materials, but it is wipeable from smooth, non-porous surfaces like glass.
What is the stroke width range?
The flexible brush tip provides a versatile line width ranging from approximately 1mm to 6mm.
Can children use these pens?
Yes, they are suitable for general creative use, though they should be kept capped when not in use to maintain tip health.
Troubleshooting
Ink flow is inconsistent
Store the pen in a horizontal position for a few hours to allow ink to settle back into the brush tip.
Tip feels dry
Check that the cap was snapped on firmly. If left out, store cap-down for a short period to encourage moisture movement, then test on scratch paper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Unlike traditional paint markers that require agitation, the Staedtler Design Journey pen is ready to draw straight out of the package. Store the pen horizontally to ensure even ink distribution at the tip. When working on paper, ensure the surface is dry and free of oils to maintain ink integrity. For cleaning purposes on glass or mirrors, use a soft, damp cloth or sponge; avoid harsh chemical cleaners which could smear the pigment rather than remove it. Always recap the pen tightly after use to prevent the brush tip from drying out.
