------------
remarks:
Due to the production process, small scratches or bubbles may occur.
Since the amount of the device that dissolves in the oil changes, air bubbles may appear due to temperature changes.
*Please avoid storing in places with high or low temperatures.

*About floater stop position

*Due to specifications, the stopping position varies for each product.

*About long size pen tips

Since the ink core is released by turning the tip of the pen, there is a misalignment and gap at the joint.

If you push the ink core vertically or with force, the ink core will be pulled in, but this is normal and does not mean the product is defective.
