Why is this marker good for left-handed users?

Troubleshooting

Marker is not writing or ink flow is weak.

Ensure the cap was securely on. Try scribbling on a scrap surface to revive the ink flow. If the marker is old, it may be dried out. Consider refilling if applicable or replacing the nib.

Ink smudging after application.

Allow more drying time. The ink is quick-drying, but some surfaces or environmental conditions (high humidity) may require a slightly longer wait. Ensure you are not pressing too hard.

Ink color appears faded.

Check if the surface is porous or unsuitable for the ink. Ensure the marker is stored correctly when not in use. If the marker is old, the ink pigment may have degraded; consider refilling or replacing.

Marker cap is difficult to remove or replace.

Gently twist the cap while pulling or pushing. Ensure there is no dried ink obstructing the connection. Avoid forcing the cap, which could damage it.
