FAQs
How long do the marks last?

What happens if the marks don't disappear?
If marks persist, try exposing the fabric to better ventilation. Use a slightly damp cloth to dab the marks, though do so carefully, as this may not always work.
Is the ink permanent?

What do I do if my pen runs out of ink?

Troubleshooting
Marks not disappearing.
Ensure the fabric is stored in a well-ventilated area. If marks persist, test the fabric with a slightly damp cloth to see if it helps fade the marks.
Ink flow is weak or inconsistent.
Gently press the pen tip on a piece of paper to re-initiate the ink flow. Make sure the pen cap is properly closed when not in use.
Ink smudges or bleeds.
Avoid pressing too hard on the fabric. Use a light touch for precise marking. Ensure the fabric is stable and flat before marking. Test on a scrap piece of fabric.
