FAQs
How long can these markers be left uncapped?
The Staedtler 60 BK Lumocolor markers are dry-safe and can be left uncapped for several days without drying out, according to ISO 554 testing standards. However, for best performance and longevity, it is always recommended to replace the cap after use.
Are these markers refillable?
Yes, these Staedtler Lumocolor permanent markers are refillable. You can purchase Staedtler Lumocolor refills separately to extend the life of your markers.
What surfaces can I use these markers on?
These markers are suitable for a wide variety of surfaces including glass, metal, plastic, paper, stone, wood, and leather. Always test on an inconspicuous area first if you are unsure about compatibility.
Is the ink truly permanent and waterproof?
Yes, the ink is designed to be permanent, waterproof, and smudge-proof once dry, ensuring durable markings on most surfaces.
What is the difference between the markers in the pack?
The pack contains four black Lumocolor permanent markers. While all are black, they feature different tip types (e.g., fine, medium, brush, block) to accommodate various marking applications and line widths.
How do I clean a marker tip if it gets clogged?
If the tip becomes clogged with dust or debris, you can gently wipe it with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh solvents.
Are these markers safe for use on food packaging?
While the ink is waterproof and permanent, it is not explicitly certified for direct food contact. Use with caution on food packaging and avoid direct contact with food items.
Troubleshooting
Marker does not write or ink flow is weak.
Ensure the cap has been removed. If the marker has been left uncapped for an extended period, try gently wetting the tip with water or recap it for a few hours. Check if the marker is refillable and consider refilling if empty.
Ink is smudging after application.
Allow more drying time before touching the marked surface. Ensure the surface is clean and free from oils or dust that might interfere with ink adhesion.
Ink is not permanent on a specific surface.
Test the marker on a small, inconspicuous area of the material first. Some highly non-porous or treated surfaces may require a primer or a different type of marker. Ensure the surface is properly prepared (clean, dry).
Tip is damaged or frayed.
This can occur with excessive force or use on rough surfaces. Clean the tip gently. If severely damaged, the marker may need replacement. Consider using a marker with a more robust tip for abrasive materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No setup is required. Simply remove the cap before use. Ensure the cap is replaced after each use to preserve the ink and tip.
Compatibility: These markers are designed for use on a wide range of non-porous and porous surfaces, including but not limited to: glass, metal, plastic, paper, stone, wood, and leather. Test on an inconspicuous area first if unsure about surface compatibility.
Care:
- Storage: Store markers horizontally or with the cap facing down to ensure even ink flow.
- Cap: Always replace the cap securely after use. The dry-safe feature allows for extended periods (days) uncapped, but prolonged exposure without a cap is not recommended.
- Cleaning: If the tip becomes clogged with debris, gently wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using solvents as they may damage the tip or ink.
- Refilling: When the ink runs low, use Staedtler Lumocolor refills (sold separately) to replenish the ink. Follow refill instructions carefully.
