FAQs
Can I use these on porous surfaces like wood?
While designed for non-porous surfaces, they will mark wood, but the ink may soak into the grain depending on the finish.
Are the markers waterproof?
Yes, once the paint has fully cured, it is designed to be permanent and resistant to water and light exposure.
How do I remove the ink if I make a mistake?
Because it is permanent paint, removal usually requires a strong solvent like acetone or xylene, depending on the surface.
Can I choose specific colors?
No, this set includes four pens in assorted random colors as provided by the manufacturer.
Do I need to prime these every time I use them?
If you use them frequently, you may not need to prime. If they have been sitting for a few days, a quick shake and one or two presses should be sufficient.
Troubleshooting
Marker is not producing any ink
Ensure the cap is closed and shake the pen for 30 seconds; then prime the tip by pressing it repeatedly on a hard surface.
Ink looks streaky or uneven
Allow the first layer to dry completely, then apply a second coat for full opacity.
Nib feels dry or scratchy
The nib may be dried out; press the nib down for a longer period to force fresh paint from the barrel, or clean the tip with a small amount of solvent.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Permanent ink formula ideal for long-term labeling
- Works effectively on non-porous surfaces like glass and plastic
- Round nib offers consistent ink flow and precision
- Suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments
Cons
- Colors are selected at random, limiting color choice
- Paint-based ink requires shaking and priming before use
- May require extra drying time on very smooth glass surfaces
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the marker for first use, shake the barrel vigorously with the cap closed to mix the internal paint components. Remove the cap, invert the marker, and press the tip onto a scrap piece of paper or cardboard several times until the ink flows into the nib.
Keep the caps tightly closed when not in use to prevent the paint from drying out inside the nib. If the tip becomes clogged, wipe it gently with a cloth dampened with a suitable solvent, or replace the nib if the internal mechanism allows. Always store markers in a horizontal position to maintain consistent ink distribution.
