FAQs
Is the red ink fade-resistant?
The ink is described as waterproof and wear-resistant, which generally contributes to longevity. However, extreme UV exposure over long periods could eventually lead to fading, as with most inks.
How do I refill the marker?
To refill, use the designated Edding ink refill for permanent markers. Typically, this involves unscrewing the marker barrel and carefully adding the refill ink.
What is the stroke width of the marker tip?
The bullet tip has a stroke width ranging from approximately 1.5 mm (fine line) to 3 mm (broader line).
Can I use this marker on fabric?
Yes, the marker is suitable for materials like leather, and typically performs well on fabric for marking purposes, though wash fastness may vary.
Is the marker suitable for outdoor use?
The waterproof and wear-resistant properties make it suitable for many outdoor applications, but extreme weather conditions or constant abrasion may affect the longevity of the mark.
What does 'low odour' mean for this marker?
Low odour indicates that the ink has a significantly reduced smell compared to standard permanent markers, making it more pleasant to use in enclosed spaces. It is also free from toluene and xylene.
Does the marker contain Xylene or Toluene?
No, the Edding Retract 11 Permanent Marker is formulated without added toluene or xylene for user safety and reduced environmental impact.
Troubleshooting
Marker does not write or ink flow is weak.
Ensure the nib is fully extended. If the marker has been unused for a long time, try scribbling on a scrap surface to restart ink flow. Check if the ink cartridge needs refilling.
Ink smudges after application.
Allow slightly more drying time. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before marking. The surface material might be porous or unsuitable for permanent ink adhesion.
Nib retracts unintentionally.
Ensure you are pressing the push-button firmly and deliberately. Check for any obstructions in the mechanism.
Marker dries out quickly when extended.
The nip seal system is designed to prevent drying. Always retract the nib when not actively writing. If drying occurs, try retracting and extending it again. Prolonged exposure with the nib extended may eventually affect performance.
