Product Information
Full details
This Sketch Marker Pack from Creativ Company is designed for artists, hobbyists, and beginners seeking to add vibrant colour and detail to their paper and card projects. Its key benefit lies in the dual-tip design, offering both fine-tip precision and brush-tip versatility for a range of creative applications from illustrations to calligraphy. A potential consideration is that the markers are water-based, meaning they may not be suitable for all surfaces or techniques requiring permanence.

FAQs
Are these markers suitable for children?
Yes, with a recommended minimum age of 3 years, these markers are suitable for children. They are water-based and CE compliant.
Can I blend the colours together?
Yes, the water-based ink allows for blending. You can layer colours or use a slightly damp brush (used carefully) to blend them while they are still wet on the paper.
How long does the ink take to dry?
Drying time depends on the paper absorbency and ink application. On standard paper, it typically dries within a few seconds to a minute. Avoid touching the ink until it is fully dry to prevent smudging.
What is the difference between the fine tip and the brush tip?
The fine tip (1–2 mm) is for precise lines, outlines, and small details. The brush tip (up to 5 mm) is more flexible and can create a range of line widths from thin to thick, ideal for lettering and filling areas.
Can I use these markers on fabric or other surfaces?
These markers are specifically designed for use on paper and card. While they might leave a mark on other surfaces, the ink is water-based and may not be permanent or wash-fast on materials like fabric.
How should I store the markers?
For best results and to ensure even ink flow, store the markers horizontally or with the tips pointing downwards. Always ensure the caps are securely sealed after use.
Are these markers refillable?
The product information does not indicate that these markers are refillable. They are designed for single use until the ink is depleted.
Troubleshooting
Marker not drawing or ink flow is weak.
Ensure the cap is fully removed and the marker has been stored correctly. Try scribbling on scrap paper to re-saturate the tip. If the issue persists after consistent use, the marker may be running low on ink.
Ink bleeding excessively on paper.
This can occur on thin or absorbent paper. Try using thicker cardstock or paper specifically designed for markers. Also, apply lighter pressure with the brush tip.
Colour appears different on paper than expected.
Colours can vary slightly depending on the paper type and the amount of ink applied. It's recommended to test colours on a scrap piece of the intended paper before finalizing your artwork.
Brush tip feels frayed or damaged.
Excessive pressure or rough surfaces can damage the brush tip. Ensure you are using appropriate paper and applying moderate pressure. If severely damaged, the tip's performance will be compromised.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Remove the caps from both the fine tip and the brush tip.
- If the ink flow seems slow initially, gently scribble on a scrap piece of paper until the ink is fully saturated.
Compatibility:
- Recommended Surfaces: Best used on paper, cardstock, and other absorbent art surfaces.
- Not Recommended: Avoid use on glossy or non-porous surfaces where the water-based ink may not adhere or dry properly.
Care:
- Storage: Store markers horizontally or tip-down to ensure even ink distribution.
- Cap Closure: Always replace the caps securely after use to prevent drying out.
- Cleaning: If ink gets on hands or surfaces, clean immediately with soap and water. For surfaces, test a small, inconspicuous area first. Ensure the ink is fully dry before attempting to clean.
- Longevity: Proper storage and capping will maximize the lifespan of the markers.
