FAQs
How do I activate the ink flow?
Shake the marker well before use. Then, press the tip onto the fabric. For stubborn markers, you might need to gently press the tip down on scrap paper to start the ink flow.
What is the best way to heat set the markers?
After the ink has completely dried (allow at least a few hours), use a household iron set to the appropriate temperature for your fabric (usually cotton setting). Iron over the design for 3-5 minutes, either directly or with a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric.
Can these markers be used on dark fabrics?
These markers are designed for light-coloured fabrics. The colours may not appear vibrant or be visible on dark materials.
How long does the ink last?
The ink is permanent and designed to last through multiple washes (up to 40°C) after proper heat setting. Colours should remain vibrant over time with standard care.
Are these markers safe for children?
Yes, they are ideal for children's creative projects. However, adult supervision is recommended, especially during the heat-setting process.
What is the difference between the fine and broad tips?
The fine tip (2.3 mm) is for detailed work, outlines, and small lettering. The broad tip (3.6 mm) is for filling in larger areas, creating thicker lines, and bold strokes.
Troubleshooting
Marker is not drawing ink
Shake the marker vigorously. Press the tip down on a test surface to encourage ink flow. Ensure the cap was sealed properly during storage.
Ink appears faint or streaky
Ensure the fabric is not too textured or dark. Re-shake the marker. You may need to apply a second coat after the first has dried, followed by heat setting.
Colors faded after washing
Verify that the design was properly heat set before the first wash. Ensure washing temperature did not exceed 40°C and that harsh detergents were not used.
Ink bled through the fabric
This can happen with very thin fabrics. Try placing a piece of cardboard or thick paper inside the item to prevent bleed-through. Use lighter pressure when drawing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the fabric you are decorating is clean and dry. Pre-washing without fabric softener is recommended.
- Shake the marker well before use to mix the ink.
- If using on a new surface or after a long break, test the marker on a scrap piece of fabric first.
Compatibility:
- Best suited for natural, light-coloured fabrics like cotton.
- Works well on T-shirts, tote bags, canvas shoes, pillowcases, and other textile items.
- Avoid using on dark or synthetic fabrics where the colours may not show up or the ink may not adhere properly.
- Ensure the fabric can withstand heat for the setting process.
Care:
- Allow the ink to dry completely (typically a few hours).
- Heat set the design by ironing over the decorated area for several minutes. Place a thin cloth between the iron and the fabric if needed.
- Once heat set, the fabric can be washed by hand or in a washing machine at temperatures up to 40°C.
- Store markers horizontally with caps firmly on to prevent drying out.
