FAQs

Are these markers waterproof once dry?

Yes, once the acrylic ink has fully dried, it is permanent and water-resistant.

Can I use these on textiles?

Yes, they work well on fabric, but it is recommended to heat-set the design if the item will be washed frequently.

Do I need to prime my canvas before using these?

Using a standard acrylic gesso on your canvas will provide the best surface for consistent ink flow and adhesion.

Can these be blended with other Liquitex products?

Yes, they are compatible with other Liquitex professional acrylic mediums and heavy body paints.

How long do the markers last?

Lifespan depends on usage, but with proper capping and storage, these markers offer a significant number of applications due to the high pigment concentration.

Are these markers toxic?

Liquitex acrylic markers are generally formulated to be water-based and professional grade; however, always use in a well-ventilated area.

Troubleshooting

The ink flow has stopped or the nib feels dry.

Re-shake the marker and gently pump the tip on a scrap surface to re-prime the nib.

The tip is clogged with dried acrylic.

Remove the nib carefully and soak it in warm water, or replace it if the damage is permanent.

Colors are bleeding on the surface.

Ensure your substrate is properly primed with gesso, especially if working on porous wood or raw fabric.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Consistent paint flow that does not skip or streak
Excellent opacity on dark and light surfaces alike
Durable tips that resist fraying over time

Requires consistent capping to prevent tip dry-out

Can be difficult to remove if applied to porous, non-primed surfaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before using for the first time, shake the marker vigorously with the cap on to ensure the pigment and binder are thoroughly mixed. Press the tip down onto a scrap piece of paper several times until you see the paint flowing into the nib. When switching colors or storing, ensure the cap is snapped on firmly; you should hear a distinct click. If you notice the tip becoming slightly stiff after prolonged use, you can gently rinse it with warm water and blot it dry. Store these markers horizontally whenever possible to keep the ink distributed evenly between the tip and the reservoir. Avoid storing in extreme heat or direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the acrylic formula.
