Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the main difference between Model 802, Model 803, and Model 804?
A: Model 802 (PH802) is a pure 8-color drafting and editing lead holder. Model 803 (Super Multi 8) is a multi-function hybrid loaded with 3 ballpoint pens (Black, Red, Blue) and 5 drafting leads. Model 804 (XPH804ST) is the complete boxed artist set featuring the 8-color holder plus a 12-color refill case and lead pointer.

Q: How do you operate the rotating selection mechanism?
A: Turn the pocket clip until the indicator points directly to your desired color window. Hold the pen nib facing downward, press and hold the top knock button to let the lead slide out to your preferred length, and release the button to lock it securely in place.

Q: Can individual leads and ballpoint cartridges be refilled?
A: Yes. All three models are fully refillable. Replacement 2.0mm colored leads and dedicated Pentel Super Multi 8 ballpoint refills can be reloaded through the front clutch opening when the corresponding channel is selected and depressed.

Q: Does the colored lead smear or bleed through thin paper?
A: No. Because the 2.0mm colored cores use dry pigment rather than liquid ink, they produce zero bleed-through or ghosting even on Tomoe River paper and daily planner sheets.

Q: What is the official store customer service and refund policy?
A: Our official customer service email is szjyf@outlook.com. Order inquiries and logistics support are handled promptly after order placement. Full refunds can be requested at any time prior to confirmed order shipment.
