FAQs
Can these markers be used on dark-colored fabrics?
These markers work best on light or white fabrics where the vibrant colors can show clearly.
Do I need to heat set the ink?
While air-drying is sufficient for most projects, allowing 24 hours to pass before washing is essential for permanency.
Are these markers safe for children?
Yes, they are non-toxic, though adult supervision is recommended for younger children.
Can I use these on synthetic fabrics like polyester?
They work best on natural fibers like cotton, but can be used on many fabric blends. Always test on a small hidden area first.
Will the ink fade in the sunlight?
Like most fabric markers, extended direct exposure to intense UV light may cause slight fading over a long period.
Troubleshooting
Marker tip appears dry or not flowing
Hold the marker tip down on a piece of scrap paper for a few seconds to let the ink saturate the nib again.
Ink bleeding or feathering on fabric
Ensure the fabric is pulled taut, and use shorter, lighter strokes to prevent over-saturation of the material.
Accidental ink marks on workspace
Use a damp cloth with mild soap immediately if the ink is still wet; once dry, it becomes permanent.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, start with a clean, pre-washed fabric surface to ensure the removal of any finishes that might repel ink. Always place a barrier such as a piece of cardboard between fabric layers to prevent ink seepage. After completing your design, allow the ink to air dry completely for at least 24 hours. For machine washing, turn the garment inside out to protect the artwork and use a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid using harsh bleach, as this can degrade the color pigments over time.
