Product Information

Full details

The Kuretake Wink of Stella Glitter Marker Set is designed for artists, crafters, and journal enthusiasts looking to add a subtle, shimmering glitter effect to their work. Its key benefit is the creation of eye-catching, archival-quality glitter lines without the mess of loose glitter. A minor caveat is that the water-based ink requires adequate drying time to prevent smudging, especially on non-porous surfaces. This set includes six markers with fine 0.8 mm bullet tips, each dispensing shimmering glitter dust in various colors, including a clear marker for pure glitter application. The ink is acid-free, odorless, and photo-safe, making it ideal for scrapbooking, card making, and journaling.

FAQs

What is the tip size of these markers?

The markers feature a fine 0.8 mm bullet tip, suitable for detailed work and precise application.

Can I use these markers on photos?

Yes, the ink is photo-safe, acid-free, and archival quality, making them suitable for scrapbooking and use on photographs.

How do I get the best glitter effect?

Shake the marker gently before use to mix the glitter. Apply smoothly to your surface and allow adequate drying time. The clear marker is designed to add pure glitter effects.

Are these markers refillable?

These markers are not designed to be refillable. Once the ink is depleted, a new marker should be used.

What surfaces can I use these markers on?

They are designed primarily for paper. Performance may vary on other surfaces; they work best on absorbent materials.

Is the ink permanent once dry?

The ink is water-based and acid-free with archival quality, meaning it is lightfast and won't fade, but it is not entirely waterproof once dry. It can smudge if exposed to moisture.

What does 'Archival Quality' mean for these markers?

Archival quality means the ink is designed to last for a long time without degrading, fading, or damaging the paper it is applied to. It is also acid-free, which is crucial for preserving documents and artwork.

Troubleshooting

Marker is not drawing or ink flow is weak.

Shake the marker gently to redistribute the glitter. Scribble on a scrap piece of paper to re-prime the tip. Ensure the cap was sealed properly to prevent drying.

Ink smudges after application.

Allow the ink to dry completely before touching the surface or applying other media. This may take longer on more absorbent paper. Avoid over-applying the ink.

Tip appears clogged with glitter.

Gently wipe the tip with a slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid excessive force or using abrasive materials.

Glitter effect is not as prominent as expected.

Ensure the marker has been shaken properly before use. Use the clear marker over a dry ink or color layer for an enhanced glitter effect.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These markers are ready to use out of the package. Simply remove the cap and begin drawing. For the first use, or if the ink flow seems slow, gently scribble on a scrap piece of paper to activate the ink flow. Shake the marker gently before use to distribute the glitter evenly within the ink.

Compatibility: The ZIG Wink of Stella markers are best suited for use on paper. They are compatible with most paper types, including cardstock, journaling paper, and drawing paper. While they can be used on other surfaces, the ink adhesion and glitter effect may vary. Avoid using them on glossy or non-porous surfaces where the water-based ink may not dry effectively.

Care: To ensure the longevity and performance of your markers:

  1. Always replace the cap securely after each use to prevent the tip from drying out.
  2. Store markers horizontally or tip-down to maintain consistent ink flow.
  3. Keep them away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  4. If the tip becomes clogged with glitter, gently wipe it with a damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid using harsh solvents.
