How should I store the markers to ensure they last?

Will the ink smudge after drying?
The ink is quick-drying, which helps minimize smudging. However, avoid touching freshly colored areas to ensure optimal drying.

What does 'highly opaque' mean for these markers?

Troubleshooting
Marker is not coloring or is skipping
Ensure the cap was securely replaced after last use. Gently shake the marker and try coloring on scrap paper. If the problem persists, the ink may be drying out.
Ink is bleeding excessively
Use a heavier weight paper or specialized marker paper. Ensure you are not oversaturating the paper with ink; apply lighter coats if needed.
Color appears dull or faded
Check if the marker has been used extensively. For best results, use on a white or light-colored surface. Ensure the marker is properly stored to maintain ink quality.
Marker cap is difficult to remove or replace
Gently twist the cap while pulling to remove. If it feels stuck, do not force it. Ensure the cap is aligned correctly before pressing it back on.

Setup: These markers require no setup beyond removing them from their packaging. Ensure the cap is firmly replaced after each use to prevent drying.
Compatibility: Primarily designed for use on paper. Compatibility with other surfaces may vary. For best results, use on thicker paper, cardstock, or specialized marker paper to minimize bleed-through.
