Extended Product Information

FAQs

How do I ensure the best erasability?

For best results, erase the marks before they have been on the whiteboard for an extended period (e.g., several days). Use a clean dry-erase eraser or a soft cloth. Regular cleaning of your whiteboard surface with a dedicated cleaner will also help prevent ghosting.

Are these markers safe for children?

Yes, the ink is certified as non-toxic and conforms to EN-71 standards, making it safe for children aged 3 and above when used under supervision.

What is the lifespan of these markers?

With proper storage (capped tightly and stored horizontally or tip-up) and regular use, the markers should provide a good lifespan. Actual usage time will vary based on frequency and duration of use.

Can these markers be used on surfaces other than whiteboards?

They are primarily designed for whiteboards. They may write on glass or other smooth, non-porous surfaces, but it's recommended to test first and ensure they can be fully erased from that specific material.

What should I do if a marker seems dry?

First, ensure the cap is sealed tightly. Try storing the marker tip-down for several hours. If the marker still doesn't write, it may have reached the end of its usable life.

What does 'low-odour' mean in the context of these markers?

'Low-odour' means the markers emit minimal fumes, making them more pleasant to use in enclosed spaces like classrooms or offices compared to traditional markers with strong chemical smells.

Troubleshooting

Marker not writing or faint lines

Ensure the cap was securely replaced. Try storing the marker tip-down for a few hours or gently shaking it. Check if the whiteboard surface is clean and suitable for dry-erase markers.

Ink smearing or ghosting after erasing

Ensure you are erasing while the ink is dry. For persistent ghosting, clean the whiteboard surface thoroughly with a whiteboard cleaner. Avoid using abrasive materials that could damage the surface.

Marker cap difficult to remove or replace

Ensure there is no dried ink around the cap. If the cap feels tight, try a gentle twisting motion. Do not force the cap, as this could damage the marker.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These markers require no setup. Simply remove the cap before use. Ensure the cap is replaced firmly after each use to prevent drying.

Compatibility: Designed for use on standard whiteboard surfaces. They may also write on glass or other smooth, non-porous surfaces, but test in an inconspicuous area first. Not recommended for permanent use on surfaces other than whiteboards.

Care:

  1. Storage: Store markers horizontally or tip-up to ensure even ink flow.
  2. Cleaning: To erase marks, use a standard dry-erase eraser or a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a whiteboard cleaner may be used sparingly.
  3. Tip Maintenance: Avoid pressing too hard on the writing surface. If the tip becomes dry, try re-capping tightly and leaving it tip-down for a few hours.
