Operating Instructions

The easyFLOW 9000 refill provides a smooth and consistent writing experience. The ink flow is designed to start instantly, even after periods of non-use.

Writing Characteristics:

• Smoothness: Glides easily across paper.
• Ink Flow: Consistent and immediate.
• Drying Time: Designed for quick drying to minimize smudging.

For optimal performance, write on standard paper surfaces. Extreme temperatures or rough surfaces may affect ink performance.

Care and Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and performance of your Schmidt easyFLOW 9000 refills:

• Storage: Store refills in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Protection: Keep the protective cap on the tip of unused refills until ready for use.
• Handling: Avoid dropping refills, as this can damage the tip and affect ink flow.

If storing refills for an extended period, ensure they are kept in their original packaging or a sealed container to prevent drying.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Schmidt easyFLOW 9000 refill, consider the following:

• Skipping or Inconsistent Ink Flow:

  Ensure the refill is properly seated in the pen. Sometimes a slight rotation can resolve minor flow issues.

  Try writing on a different surface to rule out paper texture as a cause.

  If the refill has been stored for a long time, a few initial strokes may be needed to re-establish consistent flow.
• Ink Not Appearing:

  Check if the protective wax ball (if present) on the tip has been removed by writing firmly on a scrap piece of paper.

  Verify the refill is not empty. The easyFLOW 9000 is designed for long-lasting use, but all refills eventually deplete.

• Smudging:

  While designed for quick drying, allow a moment for the ink to set, especially on less absorbent paper types.

If problems persist, the refill may be defective or depleted. Replace with a new Schmidt easyFLOW 9000 refill.
