FAQs

Are Copic markers permanent?

Yes, Copic marker ink is permanent on most surfaces, especially when used on marker-specific paper.

Can I refill the Copic Ciao markers?

Yes, the Copic Ciao markers are refillable with Copic Various Ink. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for refilling.

What kind of paper should I use with Copic markers?

It is best to use paper designed for markers. The set includes premium bond paper. Look for paper that is thick enough to prevent bleed-through.

How do I blend Copic markers?

Overlap the colors slightly and apply a second color over the first to blend. Use a colorless blender to smooth the transitions. Experiment with the brush tip and medium chisel tips for different blending effects.

What is the shelf life of Copic markers?

Copic markers can last for several years if stored correctly (horizontally and capped). The ink may dry out over time if not stored properly.

Can I use Copic markers on fabric?

Copic markers are not designed for use on fabric. Their ink is not permanent on fabrics and will wash out.

Where can I buy replacement tips for Copic markers?

Replacement tips are available for purchase from most art supply stores that carry Copic products.

How do I store my Copic markers?

Store your Copic markers horizontally in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

Marker ink appears faded or inconsistent.

Ensure the marker cap is securely closed. If the marker is dry, try refilling it with Copic Various Ink. Check the tip for any debris and clean it if necessary.

Ink bleeds through the paper.

Use thicker paper specifically designed for markers. Control the pressure when applying ink, and avoid holding the marker in one spot for too long.

Brush tip frays or becomes damaged.

Be gentle with the brush tip. If it frays, try gently smoothing it with your fingers or a piece of paper. Replace the tip if needed.
