Product Overview
Figure 1: Acme ZL-03 Stick Gel Ink Pens, Pack of 10. This image shows the full pack of ten gel ink pens, each with a clear barrel and a colored cap indicating the ink color. The pens feature a 0.5mm fine point, suitable for precise writing. The assorted colors include black, blue, green, orange, purple, and red, as seen from the caps and ink reservoirs.
The Acme ZL-03 Stick Gel Ink Pens are designed for smooth and consistent writing. This pack includes 10 pens with assorted gel ink colors and a fine 0.5mm point, ideal for various writing tasks, from note-taking to detailed drawing.
Setup
- Unpackaging: Carefully remove the pens from their clear plastic packaging.
- Tip Protection: Each pen comes with a small plastic protective cap or wax bead on the tip to prevent drying and leakage during transit. Gently pull off this protective element before first use.
- Initial Ink Flow: If the ink does not flow immediately, try scribbling on a scrap piece of paper for a few seconds to initiate the ink flow.
Operating Instructions
- Writing: Hold the pen comfortably and apply light to moderate pressure to write. The 0.5mm fine point allows for precise lines.
- Capping: Always replace the cap firmly after each use to prevent the gel ink from drying out. A secure cap also protects the pen tip from damage.
- Ink Colors: Utilize the assorted ink colors (Black, Blue, Green, Orange, Purple, Red) for color-coding notes, highlighting, or creative projects.
Maintenance
- Storage: Store pens horizontally or tip-down to ensure consistent ink flow. Avoid storing in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which can affect ink viscosity.
- Cleaning: If the pen tip accumulates dust or debris, gently wipe it with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Avoid Dropping: Dropping pens, especially on the tip, can damage the ballpoint and disrupt ink flow.
