Product Information

Full details

The Sharpie Fine Tip Marker in Blue is ideal for crafters, students, and professionals needing precise, permanent marking on various surfaces. Its key benefit is delivering consistent, skip-free lines with quick-drying, acid-free ink. A potential caveat is its permanence, making it unsuitable for applications requiring erasable marks. This marker features a fine tip for detailed work, quick-drying ink to prevent smudging, and non-toxic, acid-free properties for safe and lasting use.

FAQs

Is the ink truly permanent?

Yes, the ink is designed to be permanent and fade-resistant on most surfaces.

Can I use this marker on fabric?

While it can mark fabric, it's not specifically designed for textiles that will be washed. The permanence may vary depending on the fabric type and washing.

Is the ink safe for children to use?

Yes, the ink is certified non-toxic, making it generally safe for use by children under adult supervision.

What does 'acid-free' mean for this marker?

Acid-free ink prevents the degradation of paper over time, making it suitable for archival use and scrapbooking where preserving the material is important.

How long does the marker typically last?

The lifespan depends on usage frequency and storage. With proper care (capped tightly, stored correctly), it should provide a considerable amount of use.

Can this marker be refilled?

Sharpie Fine Tip Markers are not designed to be refilled.

Troubleshooting

Marker is skipping or not writing smoothly

Ensure the cap was securely on. Try gently scribbling on a scrap piece of paper to re-prime the ink flow. If the marker is old, the ink may be depleted.

Ink smudging excessively

Allow a few extra seconds for the ink to dry completely before touching the marked area. Ensure you are using the marker on a compatible surface; some very glossy surfaces may take longer to dry.

Marker tip feels dry

Check if the cap was left off. Ensure the marker is stored correctly (tip down or horizontal). If the tip is severely dried, the marker may be at the end of its life.

Cons

  • Ink is permanent and cannot be easily removed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No setup is required. Simply remove the cap before use.

Compatibility: This marker is compatible with a wide variety of surfaces including paper, cardboard, plastic, metal, wood, and glass. It is not recommended for use on fabrics intended for washing or on skin.

Care:

  1. Cap Securely: Always replace the cap immediately after use to prevent the tip from drying out.
  2. Storage: Store the marker horizontally or with the tip pointing downwards to ensure consistent ink flow.
  3. Cleaning: If ink accidentally gets on surfaces, wipe immediately with a suitable cleaner for that surface. For the marker itself, avoid water or solvents, as they can damage the ink reservoir.
