How to use

Advance the refill using the pen’s mechanism and begin writing on paper as usual. Store the pen capped or retracted when not in use to avoid accidental marks. For best results, use on standard paper; if strong ink intensity is required, allow the ink to dry briefly to prevent smudging. Replace the refill according to usage and ink depletion following manufacturer guidance.

Usage recommendations

Keep the pen capped or retracted in pockets or pen holders to protect the tip and preserve ink performance. Use the red 849 Colormat‑X for corrections, annotations and emphasis where contrast with black or blue text is needed.
