FAQs

What types of paper are best for the Textliner 48?

The Textliner 48 works best on all standard papers. It is not ideal for very thin paper, glossy surfaces, or specialty papers where ink absorption is poor.

How do I refill the Textliner 48?

The Textliner 48 can be refilled using the Faber-Castell Textliner 1549 Automatic Refill station. Follow the instructions provided with the refill station for a seamless refill process.

Can I use these highlighters on thermal paper?

It is not recommended to use these highlighters on thermal paper, as the water-based ink may interact with the heat-sensitive coating and cause fading or discoloration over time.

What are the three line widths the tip offers?

The durable special tip allows for marking in three different line widths: approximately 1 mm for fine marking, 3 mm for standard highlighting, and 5 mm for broader coverage.

Are the colors permanent?

The Textliner 48 uses water-based fluorescent inks. While they are designed to be smudge-proof on standard paper, they are not intended to be permanent in the same way as archival inks and may fade over extended periods of direct light exposure.

What is the material of the highlighter?

The Textliner 48 is made from recycled plastic, contributing to a more sustainable product.

How many highlighters are in a pack?

This pack contains 4 Textliner 48 highlighters in the colors Green, Orange, Pink, and Yellow.

Troubleshooting

Highlighter not marking or skipping

Ensure the cap has been replaced after each use. If the tip appears dry, try gently pressing it on scrap paper for a few moments. Check if the highlighter is empty and requires refilling.

Ink bleeding through paper

This highlighter is designed for standard paper. If bleeding occurs, the paper may be too thin. Try highlighting less intensely or on thicker paper. Ensure the ink is completely dry before touching.

Smudging despite being 'smudge-proof'

While designed to be smudge-proof on standard paper, ensure the ink is fully dry before handling the paper. Rubbing too soon after highlighting can still cause smearing, especially on certain paper types or in humid conditions.

Tip damage

Avoid excessive pressure when highlighting. If the tip is damaged, it may affect marking consistency. Consider refilling or replacing the highlighter.
