FAQs
Can I use these on dark-colored fabrics?
No, these markers are designed specifically for light-colored cotton textiles and will not be visible on dark surfaces.
How do I make the design permanent?
You must let the ink dry completely and then heat-set the design by ironing over it, using a piece of baking paper as a barrier.
What is the maximum wash temperature?
After being properly heat-set, the fabric can be machine washed at temperatures up to 40°C.
Are the markers refillable?
No, these markers are intended for single use and are not refillable.
Do I need to wash the fabric before drawing on it?
It is recommended to wash and dry the fabric first to remove any sizing or factory chemicals that might interfere with ink adhesion.
Troubleshooting
Ink is not showing up clearly on the fabric
Ensure the fabric is light-colored and cotton-based; the markers are not designed for dark surfaces.
Ink bled through to the back of the shirt
Always place a piece of cardboard or a scrap cloth inside the fabric layers before starting your design.
Ink is fading after washing
Ensure you are heat-setting with an iron through baking paper for the recommended time and washing at or below 40°C.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve professional-looking results, follow these preparation and aftercare steps:
- Preparation: Always shake the marker well before use to ensure the pigment is evenly distributed. Test the color on a small, inconspicuous area or a scrap piece of fabric first.
- Compatibility: Best used on light-colored, natural cotton textiles. Avoid using on synthetic fabrics or dark materials where the color will not show.
- Heat-Setting: After completing your design, wait for the ink to dry completely. Place a piece of baking paper over the design and iron over the paper to permanently set the ink into the fibers.
- Washing: Once heat-set, garments can be machine washed at temperatures up to 40°C. For the longest life, wash the garment inside out.
