How to use

Advance the refill using the pen’s twist or click mechanism as designed and write with a relaxed grip to maintain steady ink flow and consistent lines. When the ink is exhausted, remove the used refill by unscrewing or pulling apart the pen body according to the model’s assembly, and insert a compatible replacement refill until secure. Store the pen horizontally or tip-up when not in use to help preserve the refill and prevent leakage.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, use paper with moderate absorbency to avoid feathering and allow the medium tip to produce clear, legible lines. Replace the refill with a compatible Caran d'Ache ballpoint refill to maintain writing performance and fit.
