FAQs
How do I refill the Staedtler Textsurfer Classic?
Use the Staedtler Textsurfer Classic Refill Station. Follow the instructions on the refill station for proper refilling.
Is the ink waterproof?
The ink is water-based and lightfast but is not waterproof.
Can I use it on glossy paper?
Yes, the highlighter can be used on glossy paper, but allow sufficient time for the ink to dry to prevent smudging.
What is the line width of the highlighter?
The soft chisel tip allows a line width of approximately 1mm to 5mm.
How do I remove the highlighter marks from clothing?
The ink washes out of most textiles. However, it's best to act quickly and test on a hidden area first. Washing the marked area immediately with cold water may help prevent staining. Some fabrics may require special stain removal techniques.
Are the highlighter colors visible on photocopies?
The violet and turquoise colors are designed to reproduce on photocopies. Other colors might not be as visible.
What is the shelf life of the highlighter?
When stored properly with the cap closed, the highlighter can last for a long time. However, the ink may dry out over time if not stored correctly.
Troubleshooting
Highlighter is not working or the ink flow is inconsistent.
Ensure the cap is properly sealed when not in use. Try gently pressing the tip on a piece of paper to encourage ink flow. If the problem persists, refill the highlighter.
Highlighted text is smudging on inkjet prints.
Ensure the ink is completely dry before touching the highlighted area. The highlighter is designed to be inkjet-safe, but very wet applications may cause smudging. If smudging occurs, allow more time for the ink to dry.
The highlighter is leaving streaks.
Gently clean the tip of the highlighter with a clean cloth or tissue. Check for any debris that may be obstructing the ink flow. Consider using a different angle for highlighting.
