FAQs
What types of tips are included in Set 2?
Set 2 includes a medium 1.0mm tip marker, a broad 1.0-2.5mm tip marker, and a duo tip marker with both fine and medium bullet tips.
Can these markers be used on fabric?
While the ink is permanent and waterproof, performance on fabric can vary. It's recommended to test on a small, inconspicuous area first. Results may not be as vibrant or durable as on non-porous surfaces.
Is the ink safe for use on food packaging?
The ink is low-odor and permanent. However, for direct food contact, it is not recommended. For labeling outer packaging, it should be suitable, but always ensure the packaging is clean and dry.
How long do the markers typically last?
With proper storage (capped horizontally), the markers should last a considerable time. Longevity depends on usage frequency and whether the caps are replaced promptly after each use.
What is the purpose of the yellow universal crayon?
The yellow waterproof universal crayon is included for applications where a crayon-like marking is preferred or more suitable for a specific surface, offering waterproof durability.
Are the markers refillable?
This specific product information does not state if the Lumocolor 60 markers are refillable. Typically, permanent markers of this type are designed for single use or until the ink is depleted.
What does '97% recycled plastic' refer to?
It means that the housing or barrel of the markers in this set is made from 97% recycled materials, contributing to environmental sustainability.
Troubleshooting
Marker is not writing or skipping
Ensure the cap was fully replaced after the last use. Try scribbling on scrap paper to re-prime the ink flow. If the marker has been left uncapped for an extended period, the ink may have dried out.
Ink smudging despite claims
Allow the ink to dry completely, which typically takes only a few seconds. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before marking. Some highly porous or textured surfaces may require longer drying times.
Crayon mark is difficult to remove
Use a damp cloth or a mild cleaning agent suitable for the surface. For stubborn marks, a specialized cleaner or solvent may be necessary, but always test in a hidden area first.
