FAQs
Are the ink colors actually dual-toned?
No, despite the name, the ink color is the same for each marker.
Can I use these markers on all types of paper?
While these markers work well on most paper types, it's recommended to test them on your paper before use, especially on thin papers, to check for bleed-through.
How long will the markers last?
The lifespan of the markers depends on usage. Proper storage and care will help extend their life.
Are the markers refillable?
No, these markers are not designed to be refilled.
What should I do if the tip dries out?
Try moistening the tip slightly with water. If that doesn't work, consider the marker has reached the end of its useful life.
Are the markers suitable for children?
These markers are suitable for children under supervision. They are water-based and non-toxic, but should be used with care to prevent stains.
How do I store the markers?
Store the markers horizontally in a cool, dry place to ensure even ink distribution and to prevent the tips from drying out.
Troubleshooting
Marker is not writing or the ink appears faded.
Ensure the cap is securely on. Try gently pressing the tip on a piece of scrap paper to re-initiate ink flow. If the tip is dry, try moistening it with water.
Ink bleeds through the paper.
Use a thicker paper or reduce the pressure when writing. Test the marker on a less visible part of the paper before using it on important sections.
Bullet tip is becoming frayed.
Use the bullet tip on smoother surfaces. Avoid excessive pressure. Rotate the marker to use different parts of the tip.
