FAQs

Are these markers safe for children?

Yes, they are water-based and non-toxic, though supervision is recommended for younger children.

Can these be used on fabric?

They can be used on fabric, but the results may be less permanent than specialized fabric markers if laundered frequently.

Do I need a sealer after I finish my project?

While the ink is permanent when dry, a clear acrylic sealant can provide extra protection against scratches and moisture.

How do I store the pens to keep them working longest?

Store them horizontally to keep the ink evenly distributed between the tip and the back of the pen.

Will the colors blend while wet?

Yes, because they are water-based, you can blend colors on the page while the ink is still wet.

Why do the colors look different than the box?

Monitor settings vary, and paper type can affect how the ink looks; always perform a test swatch on your specific material.

Troubleshooting

Ink flow is streaky or inconsistent

Shake the pen vigorously for 30 seconds and re-prime the tip on a scrap surface.

Tip feels dry or clogged

Dip the tip briefly in clean water or wipe gently with a damp cloth to remove any dried pigment buildup.

Paint is rubbing off a non-porous surface

Ensure the surface was cleaned with rubbing alcohol before application and consider using a clear spray sealant once the design is fully dry.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Wide variety of colors included in one set
  • Versatile chisel tip handles diverse artistic techniques
  • Water-based formula offers easy cleanup
  • Permanent and lightfast finish once cured

Cons

  • Digital color swatches may differ from actual ink colors
  • Requires proper drying time to become truly permanent
  • Large set may require significant storage space

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal performance, shake the markers well with the cap on before every use to mix the acrylic pigments thoroughly. Press the tip down gently on a scrap piece of paper to prime the ink flow until the tip is saturated. Always replace the caps tightly immediately after use to prevent the water-based ink from drying out within the barrel. When working on smooth surfaces, consider a light sanding or priming if you find the paint is not adhering as expected. Store the pens horizontally or tip-down in a cool, dry place to keep the ink flow consistent.
