## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many of each color**
A: 3 of each color

**Q: I am left handed. My hand tends to smudge the paper. Is this set a quick dry? If not, could you point me to another set with assorted colors that is?**
A: It won't smear. I'm left handed as well and love the boldness. It's not instand dry but close. The 1.6mm bold puts a lot more ink on the paper, so it does not last anywhere near as long as the original Cristal. I write a fair amount and I get about 10 days only out of one pen. If you like it, I'd say stock up. I would consider this on par with the papermate 700rt.

**Q: How do you turn off the secret ink bomb feature? it's spooging ink everywhere.**
A: This has happened to me a couple of times and I toss the pen.  As inconvenient as it can be, I still love the distinction of the ink....it’s so clearly evident.
I do, however, suggest informing Bic of the problem of ink oozing.

**Q: Is there an orange colored pen?**
A: There is no orange.  Purple, turquoise, light blue, black, dark blue, pink, lime green and red.
