Product Information

Full details

This guide is for artists, crafters, and DIY enthusiasts looking for reliable, versatile permanent markers. The uni-ball Prockey PM-122 markers offer vibrant, waterproof, and lightfast color across a wide range of surfaces. A potential caveat is their water-based ink, which, while minimizing bleed-through, might require a primer on certain slick surfaces for optimal adhesion.

FAQs

What type of ink is used in the Prockey PM-122 markers?

The Prockey PM-122 markers use a water-based, odorless pigment ink.

Can these markers be used on fabric?

Yes, these markers are designed to write on fabric. For best results and permanence on fabric, follow garment care instructions for heat setting if applicable.

How do I prevent bleed-through on paper?

The Prockey markers are designed for minimum bleed-through. However, for very thin paper, using a thicker paper or placing a protective sheet underneath is recommended.

Are the markers permanent?

Yes, the ink is permanent, waterproof, and lightfast once dry.

What is the tip size?

The medium bullet tip writes a line width of approximately 1.2mm to 1.8mm.

How should I store the markers?

Store markers horizontally or tip-down with the cap on tightly to prevent drying out.

What surfaces can these markers NOT be used on?

While versatile, they may not adhere optimally to extremely oily or waxy surfaces without preparation. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first if unsure.

Troubleshooting

Marker skipping or not writing smoothly

Ensure the cap has been securely placed on the marker when not in use. Try writing on a scrap piece of paper to revive ink flow. If the issue persists, the marker may be drying out.

Ink smudging immediately after application

Allow a few moments for the ink to dry completely, especially on non-porous surfaces. Ensure the surface is clean and free from dust or grease.

Marker appears dry

Check if the cap is fully sealed. Try storing the marker tip-down for a few hours. If the marker still does not write, it may have reached the end of its ink life.

Cons

  • Water-based ink might require surface preparation on very smooth or non-porous materials.
  • Tip size is fixed and may not suit extremely fine detail work.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply remove the cap and begin writing. Ensure the marker is capped when not in use to prevent drying out.

Compatibility: These markers are designed for use on a wide range of surfaces including paper, cardboard, metal, glass, plastic, wood, fabric, and stone. For non-porous surfaces, test on an inconspicuous area first. Ensure the surface is clean and dry for best results.

Care: Store markers horizontally or tip-down to maintain ink flow. Keep caps on tightly when not in use. If the tip becomes clogged with debris, gently wipe with a dry cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
