How to Refill

January 28, 2008

Auspen Refill1. Unscrew the neck of the barrel using the specially designed AusPen tool supplied inside the AusPen carrycase.

2. Auspen Markers are individually wax sealed to ensure they are airlocked. This may result in initial tightness of the neck. Subsequent openings are easier.

3. Remove only the head and nib of pen, insert 10 to 12 drops only of AusPen ink into the felt inside the barrel.

4. Replace neck of the barrel firmly.

Note: It is important to refill marker before it completely dries out.

Always take care when handling ink, the use of a tissue or rag is recommended.
