Product Information

Full details

The Uni Chalk Marker Pen PWE-5M is designed for creating eye-catching signage on non-porous surfaces, ideal for businesses like pubs, cafes, and restaurants. Its key benefit is providing vibrant, rain-resistant markings that are easily removable with a damp cloth. A potential caveat is that it's specifically for non-porous surfaces, and performance may vary on others. This set includes two pens with a 5mm bullet tip, suitable for both writing and detailed work.

FAQs

What type of surfaces can I use these markers on?

These markers are designed for non-porous surfaces such as glass, mirrors, whiteboards, and glazed ceramic tiles. They are not suitable for paper or porous materials.

How do I remove the ink?

Simply wipe the surface with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, a mild detergent or glass cleaner can be used on compatible surfaces.

Are these markers waterproof?

The ink is rain-resistant, meaning it can withstand light moisture and outdoor conditions once dry. However, it is not fully waterproof and can be removed with a damp cloth.

What is the tip size?

The PWE-5M model features a 5mm bullet tip, which is suitable for both writing clear messages and adding smaller details.

How do I prepare the marker for first use?

Shake the marker well with the cap on, then remove the cap and press the tip onto a piece of paper several times until the ink flows evenly.

Can I use these on a traditional chalkboard?

While they work best on non-porous surfaces, they can be used on coated chalkboards. However, removal might be more difficult than on glass or mirrors. Always test first.

How should I store the markers?

Store the markers horizontally with the cap tightly sealed to prevent the ink from drying out.

Troubleshooting

Marker not writing / ink flow is weak

Ensure the marker is shaken thoroughly. Press the tip down on scrap paper to re-saturate and prime the ink flow. Check that the cap was sealed properly during storage.

Ink smudges easily after writing

Allow the ink to dry completely before touching it. For outdoor use, avoid heavy moisture or direct rubbing when wet, as it is rain-resistant but not waterproof.

Marker stained a surface

The surface may be porous or not fully non-porous. Try cleaning with a mild detergent. For persistent stains on glass or ceramic, a specialized glass cleaner might be effective. Always test cleaning solutions first.

Ink color looks faded

Shake the marker vigorously again and re-prime the tip. Ensure the marker is not old and the ink hasn't dried out internally.

Pros and Cons

  • Easily erasable from non-porous surfaces.
  • Weather-resistant for outdoor use.
  • Precise 5mm bullet tip for detailed work.
  • Suitable for quick updates to temporary signage.

  • Can smudge if rubbed when wet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Shake Well: Vigorously shake the marker with the cap on for about 15-20 seconds.
  2. Prime the Tip: Remove the cap and press the tip down onto a spare piece of paper or cardstock several times until the ink flows smoothly and saturates the tip.

Compatibility:

  • Recommended Surfaces: Glass, glazed ceramic, mirrors, whiteboards, blackboards (non-porous coated), and other smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Avoid: Porous surfaces such as untreated wood, paper, fabric, or painted walls, as the ink may not be easily removable and can stain.

Care:

  • Storage: Store horizontally with the cap tightly secured to prevent the tip from drying out.
  • Cleaning: For removal from compatible surfaces, use a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild detergent solution can be used. Always test cleaning methods on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Tip Maintenance: If the tip becomes clogged, gently rinse with water and re-prime as per the setup instructions.
