FAQs

What is the ink type in these pens?

These pens use a standard oil-based ballpoint ink.

Can I use these pens for drawing?

While they can be used for simple sketches, they are primarily designed for writing and may not offer the precision needed for detailed drawing or art.

How should I store these pens?

It is best to store them with the cap on, tip-up or horizontally, to ensure the ink flows correctly when you use them.

Are these pens refillable?

No, Bic Round Stic pens are designed for single use and are not refillable.

What is the line width of the medium ballpoint?

The medium ballpoint typically produces a line width suitable for general writing, often around 1.0mm.

What is the purpose of the hexagonal barrel?

The hexagonal barrel design prevents the pen from rolling off surfaces and provides a more comfortable, stable grip.

Troubleshooting

Pen not writing

Ensure the cap is removed. If the ink flow is still poor, try gently scribbling on a scrap piece of paper to re-initiate flow. Check if ink has dried out if stored improperly.

Ink skipping or inconsistent line

Scribble on a test paper to even out the ink flow. Ensure the pen is not being used at an extreme angle or with excessive pressure, which can disrupt the ballpoint mechanism.

Smudging on paper

Allow a few seconds for the ink to dry completely before touching or highlighting the written text. Use on smoother paper can sometimes reduce smudging.
