Worked great at first. Now a week later no matter what I do (shake/press on tip etc.) they won't write on vertical surface. Any tips to solve this?

I've been having the same problem! Occasionally I wet the tip a little and that helps temporarily.

Some people have been having trouble with the Samsung notes s - pen. The stylus used for writing on the screen that comes with those models. I have no problems with mine.

No, after a couple of months the tip loses it's "plumpness" and becomes difficult to move around the screen. That's why this is a good deal, inexpensive pens, you don't want to spend BIG on these. The ones that costs more last no longer than these cheap ones .

I would call Livescribe tech support. They may be able to walk you through some trouble shooting steps. If it's still under warranty, they'll replace it. One of mine was defective and they replaced it for free. They even paid for return shipping on the pen that went bad.

Take them out to see if there is any ink left...and reset them that might help.....I'm not an electronic person though so I have no idea

I just tested on mine - I wrote with a Papermate Profile ballpoint pen and tried to smear it immediately after writing. No smear.

You will want to make sure that the cartridge is seated properly. I have had them stick up a bit. If that doesn't work, contact the helpline. Good luck!

My pen has never had an problems. I did have a problem with another one and called the 800 number on their website. They were very helpful and we fixed it. It's been a while and I don't really remember the issue. Good luck!

My art pen has been trucking even after several drops and constant abuse. It's been a little over two years now, freelance commission work full time. I am not someone who uses a whole lot of pressure when I press down though. So far, no problems other than the drop that killed it and caused me to get a replacement.

Did you ever get a response about replacement tips/nibs? I'm facing the same question.

What kind of paint? Be sure to adjust the tip depth - you may have to loosen it. I had the same problem on the first couple of tries before I found the right height.

I am using my tablet and the Musemee Notier V2 to write this. You do not have to hold it vertically to write or tap, provided that you apply adequate pressure to the pen. This will depend on how big your hands are and where you hold the pen. Apply enough pressure at any angle and your device should pick up the tip of the stylus. The disk on the top is to make sure your capacitive screen can pick up the tip. I love the pen.

I'm sorry but i'm not that tablet tech suaver to answer this since i only been using the tablet pens that went with this tablet. If you haven't already you can try to email the manufacturer of said pen or monoprice to find out?

Try repairing them. Usually works after that; I have the same problem onces in awhile.

I'm not sure of a specific answer, but I do know that when I try to use the pens, they do take a bit of effort to make them write (some don't even seem to work). However, lately I haven't even been using the holder provided.

I have several of these pens. One of the last ones I bought did that and I just kept working with it. I took out the cartridge, put it back in, made sure everything fit snug, kept writing with it, etc. Pretty soon it started working. Don't give up - these are good pens.

They seem to write upside down, at least for a short period of time. I remember that the marketers of the old Fisher Space Pen made a big deal about how that pen could always write upside down. That never seemed very important to me, but I sort of assumed taht other pens, like the Jotter and PaperMate pens, must not be able to do so. But I just tried, and my pen seems to write fine.
