Is the refilling process messy?

Troubleshooting
Marker not refilling
Ensure the marker model is compatible (350 or 352) and that the tip is fully inserted into the refill station opening. Check that the refill station contains ink.
Ink is not drawing up
Try gently twisting the marker tip in the opening. If the marker has been completely dry for a very long time, it may take longer for capillary action to begin. Ensure the refill station is upright.
Marker seems oversaturated or leaks
This is unlikely due to the 'impossible to overfill' design. Ensure the marker tip was not already saturated before refilling. Clean the marker tip before re-inserting.
Refill station is empty
The refill station contains 30ml of ink and is designed for multiple refills. If depleted, it's time to replace the refill station.
