Troubleshooting

Pen is not writing

Ensure the cap has been removed and that the pen hasn't dried out. Try gently scribbling on a scrap piece of paper. If it still doesn't write, the ink may have dried completely.

Ink is difficult to erase

Ensure you are using a *damp* cloth, not a wet one. For stubborn marks, try a slightly more saturated cloth, but be careful not to oversaturate the projector sheet. Allow the ink to sit for a very short period before wiping can sometimes help.

Color is not as expected

Check the color of the pen's lid, as it corresponds to the ink color. Ensure the lid is fully removed before writing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy to erase with a damp cloth, ideal for temporary annotations.
  • Comes in a convenient pack of four essential colors.
  • Color-coded lids make distinguishing colors straightforward.
  • Suitable for quick notes and diagrams on projector sheets.

Cons

  • Ink is water-soluble and not permanent, not suitable for long-term labeling.
  • Primarily intended for overhead projector sheets; performance on other surfaces is not guaranteed.
  • The markers are non-permanent, so they cannot be used for archival purposes.
  • Requires a damp cloth for erasing, meaning immediate cleanup might need preparedness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No setup is required. Simply remove the cap and begin writing.

Compatibility: These pens are specifically designed for use with overhead projector sheets (transparencies). They may not perform as expected on paper, plastic films not intended for projection, or other surfaces.

Care: Store pens with caps on tightly to prevent drying. To erase markings, use a slightly damp cloth and wipe the projector sheet clean. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, which could scratch the projector sheets. If ink begins to dry, try re-capping immediately and allow a short period for the ink to re-moisten.
