Troubleshooting
The ink is not appearing on the paper during the draw process.
Ensure the pen is fully seated in the accessory clamp and the protective plastic tip cover has been removed.
Lines look faint or broken.
Check your paper surface; gel pens perform best on smooth cardstock. Ensure the pen is not dried out by testing it on a scrap piece of paper first.
The pen tip is smudging the paper.
Verify that your machine settings are set to 'Draw' rather than 'Cut'. Ensure the ink has fully dried before touching or handling the project.
