Product Information
Full details
The Pentel Fine Paint Marker (YMSP10/6-M) is ideal for hobbyists, craft enthusiasts, and industrial professionals who require clean, permanent lines on non-porous surfaces. Its primary benefit lies in its highly opaque, pigment-based ink that resists fading across materials like metal, glass, and rubber. However, users should note that because the ink is permanent and oil-based, it may require specific solvent-based cleaners for removal if applied to unintended surfaces.

FAQs
Can I use these markers on fabric?
These markers are designed for non-porous surfaces like metal and glass; they are not recommended for fabric as the paint will likely bleed or flake.
How do I remove the ink if I make a mistake?
Because the ink is permanent, you will need a solvent such as xylene or a dedicated paint marker remover to dissolve the pigment.
Are the markers waterproof?
Yes, once the pigment has fully cured, the ink is water-resistant and suitable for many outdoor applications.
Does the ink contain harmful chemicals?
The ink is low-odour, but it is always recommended to use these markers in a well-ventilated area to ensure safety.
Why store them horizontally?
Horizontal storage keeps the ink evenly distributed through the tip and prevents the pigment from settling at the bottom of the barrel.
Troubleshooting
Marker tip is dry and no ink flows
Shake the marker vigorously for 30 seconds and press the tip down repeatedly on a hard surface to restart the internal ink valve.
Ink looks faint or watery
The pigments may have settled. Continue shaking the marker to ensure the contents are thoroughly mixed.
Tip becomes frayed
Ensure you are using a light touch when applying ink. Excess pressure will damage the bullet tip; let the ink flow naturally onto the surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your Pentel Fine Paint Markers, you must prime the tip. Shake the marker firmly with the cap on to mix the ink, then depress the tip onto a scrap piece of paper repeatedly until the ink begins to flow smoothly into the nib.
Compatibility: These markers are designed for non-porous materials. Testing on an inconspicuous area is recommended when working with specialized plastics or treated glass.
Care Instructions: Always store the markers horizontally to prevent the tip from drying out or becoming overly saturated. Ensure the cap is snapped shut securely after every use to extend the lifespan of the ink. If the tip becomes clogged, wipe it gently with a clean cloth soaked in a suitable solvent.
