Default Stampin Up Pens

I've got a few stampin up pens that are drying up and very faint, can you tell me if I can use re-inkers to refill them? If so, can you explain how to do this? Many thanks.

Default su markers

You can carefully pull out the brush tip and put a few drops of reinker in.
I have also filled the cap of the reinker with ink and set the marker in there to soak it up. I have never had luck getting the fine tip to write again though, even storing it fine tip down. Hope you have good luck

Here's another tip......make sure you store your markers horizontally so the ink doesn't pool to one end! I have my original markers from 6 years ago (use them all the time), and have only had to replace them if the tip was smooshed by an overzealous client! They are still nice and juicy!

Mine are great too and I store them horizontally also. I have a few fine tips that seem a little dry sometimes and I've just store them individually in a pen holder with the fine tip down for a few days.

Good to know, thanks for the tip. I have mine sitting vertically in a bin so I'll move them elsewhere

Here is a video:

You can also do this with your VeraMark pens too.
