Operating Instructions

To use the fineliner, hold the pen comfortably by its ergonomic triangular barrel. Apply light to moderate pressure to create fine lines. The 0.3 mm tip is ideal for detailed work, outlining, and precise coloring.

• Writing and Drawing: Position the metal-clad tip on the paper surface and move it to create desired lines or shapes.
• Coloring: For small areas, use the tip to fill in color. For larger areas, consistent strokes are recommended to achieve even coverage.
• Dry Safe Feature: These pens can be left uncapped for several days without drying out, ensuring convenience for extended use. However, it is recommended to recap the pens when not in use to maximize their lifespan, especially for neon colors which are not covered by the Dry Safe feature.

Maintenance

• Recapping: Always replace the cap firmly after each use to prevent premature drying and protect the tip.
• Storage: Store pens horizontally or tip-down to ensure consistent ink flow. Keep them in their original cardboard case for organized storage and protection.
• Cleaning: If ink gets on hands or surfaces, it can typically be washed off with water. For ink on textiles, the water-based ink is designed to be easily washable from most fabrics.
• Avoid Extreme Conditions: Do not expose pens to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, as this may affect ink quality and pen performance.

Troubleshooting

• Pen not writing smoothly: Ensure the cap was removed completely. If the pen has been stored uncapped for an extended period (beyond the Dry Safe limit), the tip may have dried. Try gently scribbling on a scrap piece of paper to reactivate ink flow.
• Ink bleeding through paper: This is often dependent on the paper quality. Use thicker paper or paper specifically designed for fineliners to minimize bleed-through.
• Tip appears damaged: Avoid applying excessive pressure when writing or drawing, as this can bend or damage the fine metal-clad tip.
