Troubleshooting

Pen not writing or ink flow is inconsistent.

Ensure the correct color selector is fully extended. Try clicking different color selectors to engage the ink mechanism. If the issue persists, the ink cartridge may be depleted and require replacement.

Ink skipping or feathering on paper.

This can sometimes occur with lower-quality paper. Try using a different type of paper. Ensure the ballpoint tip is clean and free of debris.

Clicking mechanism feels stiff or jammed.

Gently try clicking the mechanism multiple times. Avoid forcing it. If it remains stuck, there might be debris lodged in the mechanism; try to clear it carefully with a soft brush or compressed air if available.
