How should I store the pens?

Troubleshooting
Ink flow is inconsistent or pen is skipping.
Ensure the pen is stored horizontally. Gently press the nib against the paper for a moment to encourage ink flow. Clean the nib with a damp cloth.
Ink is smudging or blotting.
Allow the ink to dry completely before touching the paper. Ensure the paper is suitable for gel pens; some papers may cause more smudging.

Ensure that the cap is properly secured after each use, store the pen horizontally and clean the nib with a soft damp cloth.
