## Questions & Answers

**Q: Doesn't retractable mean there's a clicker instead of a cap?**
A: Yes, not sure why it says that-they definitely have a cap and aren’t retractable. Great pens, though!!

**Q: Can you see remaining ink supply in all colors as shown in the picture? I purchased and only four colors were clear.**
A: No, you can't see the remaining ink in the most vibrant colors. Those have a white tube, which hides the ink. Red, blue, black have clear tubes.

**Q: How many different colors are there?**
A: There are 8 colors, you can see which ones in the bottom right corner of the packaging.

**Q: Does the ink bleed through the page of a word search book?**
A: No Dennis, it works great, does t bleed through. I use a highlighter to find the words and a Bic to decode the message I use the Bic’s for writing everyday. Love them.

Love these- repeat customer. Ink is smooth with just the right thickness. Wonderful colors. Fun to use with my daily planner. Don’t forget to pull the tiny plastic cover off the tip before trying to write like I did with my very first set!!
