Once Upon a Design
Notable design details:
- To ensure the pigs’ plan goes off without a hitch, they’ve brought along all the tools they could possibly need - can you spot them all?
- Looks like the wolf fell for the pigs’ trap. Is that him coming down the chimney?
- Scurry along, town mouse. Go home, you won’t want to be caught out here later!

Care Instructions
The Roundabout Rollerball Pen comes with an unfilled ink converter. When filling ink for the first time, please allow up to 1 day for the feeder mechanism to become fully saturated
Filling/Changing Ink Colours:
- Unscrew the barrel from the grip mechanism.
- Submerge the rollerball tip fully into warm water. Flush the tip by twisting/untwisting the converter mechanism until the water runs clear.
- Allow to dry overnight.
- Fill a new colour by submerging the black rollerball tip fully into the ink, then draw the ink into your Roundabout by twisting the converter until you've reached the top position.
Notes:
- For heavily saturated inks and darker tones or clogged tips, you may need to soak the grip/feeder in water overnight
- It is normal for some air bubbles to enter the converter when refilling ink
- Best for use with non-sparkling inks
