Malfunction examples and review:
A: Dropping the writing instrument causing damage to tip opening, that prevents ink/lead from coming through or jamming.
B: Storing writing instrument in space where temperature and/or pressure cause damage such as bent tips or dried ink, etc.


Review the rim of the tip opening. This is the thinnest area of the instrument and is damaged by surface contact. Part of the rim will appear flattened, which covers a portion of the opening. 

Unscrew the tip from the barrel so you can access the ink cartridge. Gently move the cartridge around in the barrel making sure it is not jammed. We do not offer repair services for jammed cartridges.
