FAQs
What surfaces can I use this marker on?
The Sharpie Permanent Marker works on paper, plastic, metal, coated paper, stone, and most other surfaces. Always test on an inconspicuous area first for non-standard materials.
Is the ink safe to use?
Yes, the ink is AP certified, meaning it is non-toxic and safe for general use when used as directed.
How long does the ink last once opened?
With proper storage (capped tightly, stored horizontally or tip-down), the marker should last for a considerable time. Actual lifespan varies based on usage and environmental conditions.
Can this marker be used for permanent outdoor applications?
The ink is water and fade resistant, making it suitable for many outdoor applications. However, extreme weather conditions may eventually affect its longevity. For the most durable outdoor marking, consider specialized industrial markers.
What is the difference between the fine point and other Sharpie points?
The fine point offers precision for detailed writing and small marks. Other points like ultra-fine, fine, bold, or chisel offer varying line widths for different purposes, from intricate details to broader strokes.
How do I remove Sharpie ink?
For most surfaces, rubbing alcohol or a dedicated ink remover can be effective. For skin, soap and water usually suffice. Always test any removal method on a small, hidden area first to avoid damaging the underlying surface.
Can I use this marker on fabric?
While it may mark fabric, it is not specifically designed for fabric and may bleed or fade with washing. For fabric, Sharpie offers fabric markers.
Troubleshooting
Marker not writing or skipping
Ensure the cap was securely replaced after the last use. Try shaking the marker gently and scribble on a scrap piece of paper. If it still doesn't write, the ink may have dried out.
Ink bleeding through paper
Use a thicker paper or place a protective sheet underneath the surface you are writing on. The permanent ink is designed to penetrate some materials.
Smudging after writing
Allow a few extra seconds for the ink to dry, especially on non-porous surfaces. Ensure you are not rubbing the ink immediately after application.
Marker dried out prematurely
Verify the cap was replaced tightly after each use. Store markers horizontally or tip-down. If dried out, it may be difficult to rehydrate sufficiently for permanent use.

Setup: No setup is required. Simply remove the cap and the marker is ready for immediate use.
Compatibility: This marker is designed for use on paper, plastic, metal, coated paper, stone, and most other surfaces. It is not recommended for use on food or skin.
Care:
- Storage: Store the marker horizontally or tip-down to ensure optimal ink flow. Always recap tightly after use to prevent drying out.
- Cleaning: If ink gets on unintended surfaces, use rubbing alcohol or an appropriate solvent for the surface material. For skin, wash with soap and water.
