FAQs

Can this marker be used on fabric?

While the marker is designed for a wide range of surfaces, its performance on fabric can vary. It is generally suitable for labeling fabric items that will not be frequently washed, but for washable textiles, specialized fabric markers are recommended.

Is the ink suitable for food packaging?

The ink is permanent and low-odor, but it has not been specifically certified for direct food contact. It is best used for labeling the exterior of packaging rather than direct application on surfaces that will come into contact with food.

How long does the ink last when left uncapped?

Thanks to its 'Dry Safe' technology, the marker can be left uncapped for several days without the ink drying out, significantly extending its usability.

What is the line width of this marker?

The STAEDTLER Lumocolor Permanent Marker 313-9 BK-1 has a line width of approximately 0.4 mm, classified as 'super fine' (S).

Can I use this marker on outdoor surfaces?

The ink is waterproof and lightfast, making it suitable for many outdoor applications where resistance to weather is needed. However, extreme conditions or prolonged UV exposure may eventually affect the mark.

How do I refill the marker?

The marker can be refilled using the STAEDTLER 487 17 refill station. Ensure you use the correct refill ink designed for Lumocolor permanent markers.

What does 'lightfast' mean?

'Lightfast' means that the ink is resistant to fading when exposed to light over time. This ensures that the markings remain legible for longer periods.

Troubleshooting

Marker is not writing or is skipping

Ensure the cap has been removed. Try gently scribbling on a scrap piece of paper. If the issue persists, the marker may be dry or clogged. Check if the 'Dry Safe' feature has been over-utilized or attempt to refill it.

Ink is smudging after application

Wait a few more seconds for the ink to dry completely. Ensure you are writing on a clean, dry surface. Smudging is less likely on non-porous surfaces after adequate drying time.

Tip is damaged

The fine tip is delicate. Avoid excessive pressure or rough use. If the tip is bent or frayed, it may affect writing precision. Consider replacing the marker or using a refill.

Ink color appears faded

Check if the marker is running low on ink. If so, it is time to refill it using the STAEDTLER 487 17 refill station.
