    Try adding a little liquid soap to the ink mixture.

    "Tips for (fixing) my super(-dried-out) lens (marking pad) on my Marco (lensmeter)"

    I've microwaved this thing (why?) and pummed (no idea) it full of replacement ink. Still, I get (only) medial (towards the nose) dots (instead of all three).

    I think he is trying to say that the dots are to light. It seems typing errors are being spell checked to the wrong words.
