FAQs

Can these markers be used on whiteboards?

No, these are permanent markers and are not designed to be erasable from standard whiteboard surfaces.

Is the ink toxic?

The markers are designed for standard professional and educational use; please consult the specific safety data sheet if you have concerns regarding specific chemical sensitivities.

How long will the marker last if I leave the cap off?

The marker features a 24-hour cap-off time, meaning it will stay functional even if left uncapped for up to a full day.

Will this work on greasy surfaces?

While it adheres well to many surfaces, it is best to clean the surface of grease or dust before marking for the most permanent result.

Is the ink removable from clothing?

As this is a permanent, waterproof ink, it is generally not removable from fabrics once set.

Troubleshooting

The ink flow is inconsistent or faint.

Store the marker with the cap on and the tip pointing downward for 30 minutes to redistribute the ink.

The cap does not seem to secure properly.

Check the cap rim for any dried ink buildup and wipe it clean with a dry cloth.

Marker tip has become frayed.

Avoid pressing too hard during writing; once the fiber tip is physically damaged, it cannot be repaired.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Consistent 1.0mm precision line width
  • Versatile application across many materials
  • Minimal odor compared to standard permanent markers
  • Reliable dry-safe technology

Cons

  • Not intended for use on skin or porous surfaces where ink might bleed
  • Requires proper storage to maintain tip health
  • Does not include an eraser or solvent for ink removal

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal performance, keep the marker stored horizontally or tip-down when not in use. While the marker is compatible with a wide array of surfaces, always test on a small, inconspicuous area first if applying to delicate materials. To maintain the 1.0mm line precision, avoid applying excessive pressure on the tip during use, as this can cause the fiber to fray. If the ink appears to skip, a brief rest with the cap on can allow the ink to flow back into the reservoir. Always cap the marker firmly until you hear or feel a click to maximize its total lifespan.
