FAQs
What surfaces can this marker be used on?
This marker can be used on most surfaces including paper, cardboard, plastic, metal, glass, wood, and more. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first, especially on delicate materials.
Is the ink waterproof?
The ink is permanent and generally resistant to water once dry, but extreme exposure may affect legibility over time.
How long does the ink last?
Ink longevity depends on usage and storage conditions. When properly capped and stored, the ink is designed for long-term use.
Can this marker be used for food packaging?
No, this marker is not intended for use on food or food packaging that may come into direct contact with food.
What is the origin of this product?
This product is made in France.
How do I store the marker to maximize its lifespan?
Store the marker horizontally or tip-down to ensure consistent ink flow to the tip. Always ensure the cap is securely fastened after use.
Troubleshooting
Marker is not writing or ink flow is weak.
Ensure the cap was removed properly. Try pressing the tip gently on a scrap surface. If the marker has been stored tip-up for a long time, try storing it tip-down for a few hours to allow ink to flow to the tip. Ensure the cap is replaced tightly after use.
Ink appears to be smudging after application.
Allow the ink to dry completely before touching the marked surface. Drying time may vary depending on the surface material and environmental conditions (humidity, temperature).
Tip is damaged or frayed.
Permanent markers have a finite lifespan. If the tip is significantly damaged, the marker may need to be replaced.
