Replacing the pen tip
The pen tip (nib) will wear with normal use. When the nib gets too short or develops a flat point, you can
replace it with another nib. Simply clasp the old nib with a tweezer, needle-nosed plier, or similar instrument
and pull it straight out of the pen. Then slide the end of the new nib straight into the barrel of the pen – firmly
push the nib until it stops.
Warning:
Prevent children from swallowing the pen tip or side switch. The pen tip (nib) or side
switch may accidentally be pulled out if children are biting on them.
Note:
Stroke nibs are spring-loaded, providing additional tactile feedback when you are working with the
Intuos3 pen or Airbrush. Stroke nibs are gray in color and are installed in the same manner as a standard
pen nib.
