FAQs

What surfaces can I use this marker on?

The Pilot SCAN marker can be used on paper, plastic, metal, glass, rubber, and leather.

Is the ink permanent?

Yes, the ink is permanent and fade-resistant once dry.

How fine is the tip?

The tip is ultra-fine, with a stroke width ranging from approximately 0.4 mm to 1 mm, allowing for very precise marking.

How should I store the marker?

It is best to store the marker horizontally or tip-down to ensure consistent ink flow. Always replace the cap securely after use.

Can this marker be used for detailed artwork?

Absolutely. Its ultra-fine tip and smooth ink flow make it ideal for detailed drawings, illustrations, and intricate designs.

What should I do if the ink stops flowing?

Try shaking the marker gently or storing it tip-down for a few minutes. Ensure the cap was replaced properly after the last use.

Is the ink waterproof?

The ink is permanent and fade-resistant. While not explicitly rated as waterproof, its permanent nature provides good resistance to water once fully cured.

Troubleshooting

Marker is not writing or ink flow is weak.

Ensure the cap has been removed. Shake the marker gently. If stored vertically for a long time, store it tip-down for a few minutes to allow ink to reach the tip. Check if the tip is clogged with debris and clean gently if necessary.

Ink is smudging after application.

Allow sufficient drying time for the ink, especially on non-porous surfaces like plastic or glass. The ink is permanent once fully dry, but may be susceptible to smudging immediately after application.

Tip is damaged or frayed.

This marker features a durable tip, but excessive force can cause damage. If the tip becomes frayed, it may affect precision. Ensure you are applying appropriate pressure for the surface being marked.

Care:
