7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Ink appears faint or dry. | Highlighter left uncapped for too long, or ink level is low. | Recap the highlighter firmly and allow a few minutes for the tip to re-saturate. If still faint, consider refilling the ink. |
| Ink bleeding through paper. | Paper quality is too thin or absorbent. | While STABILO highlighters are designed to minimize bleed-through on most papers, very thin or highly absorbent paper may still show some ink. Use thicker paper for best results. |
| Uneven ink flow. | Highlighter stored vertically for extended periods. | Store highlighters horizontally to ensure consistent ink distribution to the tip. |
