Q&A

What is the main benefit of Monodry Ink in a writing instrument?

Monodry Ink is Tombow’s unique water-based gel formula engineered for rapid absorption, which virtually eliminates smudging and smearing, a common complaint with standard gel pens. This formulation prevents the ink from penetrating paper fibers, delivering crisp, clean lines without strike-through, even when writing dense text.

Why choose a needle-point pen tip over a conical pen tip?

A high precision needle tip pen provides enhanced sightlines and superior precision compared to a typical conical tip. This structure allows the pen tip to get much closer to a straightedge for accurate lines and is often preferred for technical drawing, detailed annotations, and navigating narrow grid lines in notebooks.

How can I fix a fine-tip gel pen that is skipping or won't write?

Skipping is usually caused by dried ink clogging the ultra-fine tip. To prevent this, ensure you store the pen horizontally to promote even ink distribution. If a clog occurs, gently soak the tip overnight in a small amount of rubbing alcohol to dissolve the dried gel ink particles and restore smooth ink flow gel refill performance.
