Regular Cleaning
- Tip Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the tip of the pen. If there is dried ink, you can use a small amount of water to dampen the cloth.
- Disassembly (if possible): If your roller ball pen can be disassembled, remove the refill and clean the interior with a soft cloth. Ensure everything is dry before reassembling.
Proper Storage
- Cap the Pen: Always replace the cap after use to prevent the ink from drying out.
- Store Upright: Store the pen in an upright position with the tip facing up to prevent ink from pooling at the tip and causing leaks.
- Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Keep the pen away from extreme heat or cold, as temperature changes can affect the ink consistency and performance.
Refilling and Replacing Parts
- Refill Regularly: When the ink starts to run low, replace the refill promptly to maintain a smooth writing experience.
- Replace Damaged Parts: If the tip becomes damaged or the pen shows signs of leakage, replace the affected parts or consider getting a new pen to avoid further issues.
The recommended way to store your pen
- Store Vertically: Store your roller ball pen in an upright position with the tip facing up. This prevents ink from pooling at the tip, which can cause leaks and ensure smooth ink flow when you next use the pen.
- Replace the Cap: Always place the cap back on the pen after use. This prevents the ink from drying out and protects the tip from damage.
- Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Store the pen in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Heat can cause the ink to expand and potentially leak, while cold can make the ink thicker and harder to flow.
