FAQs

Are these markers safe for young children?

Yes, the markers feature a non-toxic formula, making them safe for children. Always supervise young children during craft activities.

How do I clean up spills or ink marks?

The ink is washable. For skin and most fabrics, use soap and water. For hard surfaces, a damp cloth is usually sufficient. Clean up any spills immediately for best results.

What is the best way to store the markers?

Store the markers upright with the caps tightly secured to prevent the ink from drying out and to maintain the sponge tip's integrity.

How do I get different sized dots?

You can create different sized dots by varying the pressure applied to the tip. Light pressure results in smaller dots, while heavier pressure creates larger dots.

Do I need to do anything before using the markers for the first time?

Yes, before the first use, shake the marker and then press the center of the tip with a cotton swab for about two seconds to release internal pressure and prime the ink flow.

Can I use these markers on surfaces other than paper?

While primarily designed for paper, they can be used on some non-porous surfaces. However, always test on a small, inconspicuous area first, as the ink may be difficult to remove from certain materials.

What happens if the tip dries out?

If the tip dries out, try rehydrating it by holding it tip-down on a damp paper towel for a minute or two, then shake the marker and try applying ink again. Ensure caps are always replaced securely.

Troubleshooting

Marker not dispensing ink

Ensure the marker was shaken properly and the tip was primed correctly on first use. Press down firmly on the paper to saturate the sponge tip. If still no ink, try gently cleaning the tip with a damp cloth.

Ink bleeding through paper

This typically occurs with very thin paper. Try using a thicker paper stock or place a protective sheet underneath the artwork. Ensure you are not applying excessive pressure.

Inconsistent dot size

Adjust the pressure applied to the tip. Light pressure creates small dots, while firmer pressure creates larger dots. Ensure the tip is clean and free of debris.

Cap difficult to remove or replace

Ensure the cap is aligned correctly before pulling or pushing. If it feels stiff, check for dried ink around the rim and wipe clean. Do not force the cap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Shake: Before the first use, shake the pen gently.
  2. Prime the Tip: On first use, release internal pressure by pressing the center of the tip with a cotton swab for approximately two seconds. This ensures the ink flows correctly.
  3. Apply Ink: Press the tip firmly onto paper until the sponge tip is fully soaked with ink. You are now ready to create dots.

Compatibility:

  • Paper: Best used on standard paper. Avoid very thin or porous paper where ink bleed might occur.
  • Surfaces: Designed for paper crafts. Can be used on some non-porous surfaces for temporary applications, but test in an inconspicuous area first.

Care:

  • Storage: Store markers upright with the cap securely fastened to prevent drying out.
  • Cleaning: If ink gets on skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. For surfaces, wipe clean with a damp cloth. For tougher stains on fabric, pre-treat before washing.
