FAQs
Are Sharpie markers waterproof?
Yes, Sharpie markers are water-resistant, meaning the ink will not easily wash away with water.
What surfaces can I use Sharpie markers on?
Sharpie markers can be used on a wide variety of surfaces, including paper, plastic, metal, wood, and glass.
How long does the ink last?
The ink is permanent and designed to last for a long time. However, exposure to direct sunlight and abrasion may cause the ink to fade over time.

How should I store my Sharpie markers?
Store your Sharpie markers horizontally to ensure even ink distribution and prevent the tips from drying out. Always recap your markers after use.
Are the markers safe for children?
While Sharpie markers are non-toxic, they should be used under adult supervision, especially by young children, to avoid misuse.
Troubleshooting
Marker ink appears faded or light.
Ensure the marker is capped when not in use. Press the tip gently on a piece of scrap paper to re-saturate the tip with ink.
Marker tip is damaged or frayed.
Avoid pressing too hard. If the tip is damaged, try rotating the marker to use a different part of the tip. Replace the marker if necessary.
Ink bleeds through the paper.
Use thicker paper or reduce the pressure when writing. Test the marker on a less visible area of the paper first to check for bleeding.
