Product Information

Full details

The Pentel Maxiflo Medium Dry Wipe Markers & Magnetic Eraser Set is designed for professionals and educators who need reliable, vibrant markers for white or porcelain boards. Its key benefit is the unique pump-action system that revives dried-out markers, ensuring longevity and consistent ink flow. A potential caveat is that the pigment-based ink may require thorough erasing on older or porous boards.

FAQs

How does the Maxiflo pump system work?

The Maxiflo system uses a unique internal mechanism. When the tip is pressed down, it allows ink to flow from the reservoir to replenish the tip, effectively reviving a marker that has started to dry out.

What type of ink is used in these markers?

These markers use vivid, pigment-based liquid ink, which provides high opacity and vibrant colors.

Can I use these markers on glass or other surfaces?

While they are primarily designed for whiteboards and porcelain boards, they might write on glass temporarily. However, they are not intended for permanent marking on other surfaces and may be difficult to remove.

How long do the markers typically last?

With proper storage and the use of the Maxiflo system, these markers are designed for long-lasting performance. Actual lifespan depends on usage frequency and board surface.

Are the colors blendable?

The ink is designed for dry erasing and is not formulated for blending like alcohol-based markers. Attempting to blend may result in smudging or poor erasability.

What is the stroke width of the bullet tip?

The medium bullet tip provides a stroke width ranging from approximately 2 mm (for finer lines) to 2.5 mm (for broader lines).

Does the set include an eraser?

The product description specifies a 'Magnetic Eraser Set', indicating that an eraser is included with the markers.

Troubleshooting

Marker is not writing or ink flow is weak.

Activate the Maxiflo pump system by pressing the tip down firmly on a piece of scrap paper several times until ink flows consistently. Ensure the marker is stored horizontally.

Ink seems to be drying out quickly.

This is uncommon with the Maxiflo system. Ensure the cap is securely replaced after each use. If the problem persists, try the pump action to replenish ink.

Marks are difficult to erase.

Ensure you are using a suitable whiteboard surface. Try erasing sooner after writing. Use a dedicated whiteboard cleaner if dry erasing is insufficient, but test in an inconspicuous area first.

Marker tip feels damaged.

The bullet tip is designed for durability. If it appears damaged, try to gently realign it. If the tip is significantly worn or broken, the marker may need replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These markers are ready to use straight out of the pack. For initial use or if the marker has been stored for a long time, you may need to activate the Maxiflo pump system. Press the tip down firmly on a piece of scrap paper a few times until ink flows smoothly.

Compatibility: Designed for use on standard whiteboards and porcelain enamel surfaces. Not recommended for use on porous surfaces such as paper, fabric, or unsealed wood, as the pigment ink may stain permanently.

Care:

  1. Storage: Store markers horizontally with the cap on tightly to prevent drying.
  2. Erasing: For best results, erase marks within 24-48 hours. Use a dry whiteboard eraser or a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, a dedicated whiteboard cleaner can be used sparingly.
  3. Reviving: If the ink flow diminishes, use the Maxiflo pump action by pressing the tip down on a test surface a few times.
