Using the tweezer tool, pull the nib out of the marker slowly to avoid splash of ink; for brush nibs, be sure to grip the nib firmly at the base.

Hand inserting new Super Brush nib into Copic Sketch marker

Carefully insert the new nib.

CAUTION!

Be careful not to spill the ink when you pull the nib out of the marker.

If the amount of ink is decreased in inner cotton, the penetration of ink into the new nib will be slower than usual. Refill with the ink in that case.

After replacing the nib, it may take a little time until the color becomes stable.
