FAQs
What surfaces can I use the Sharpie Fine Point Permanent Marker on?
The Sharpie Fine Point Permanent Marker works well on paper, plastic, metal, photos, foil, wood, and most other surfaces.
Is the ink really permanent?
Yes, the ink is permanent on most surfaces, meaning it will not easily wash off or fade.
How do I remove Sharpie ink?
You can try rubbing alcohol or mineral spirits to remove the ink from non-porous surfaces. The success of removal depends on the surface and how long the ink has been there.
What should I do if the marker dries out?
Make sure the cap is securely in place when not in use. If it dries out, you can try priming the tip by pressing it on a piece of paper.
Is this marker safe for children?
The Sharpie marker is AP certified, which means it is non-toxic. However, it's best to supervise children using the marker.
Can I use the marker on fabric?
While the Sharpie can mark fabric, it is not specifically designed for this purpose, and the ink may bleed or not be as durable.
What is the line width of the fine point tip?
The fine point tip provides an approximate 1mm line width.
