Product Information
Full details
The Edding 1455 Calligraphy Marker is designed for artists, hobbyists, and crafters looking to add elegant script and decorative lettering to various projects. Its key benefit is the flexible tip that allows for variable line widths, creating beautiful calligraphy effects with ease. A caveat is that the tip is not replaceable, meaning the marker has a finite lifespan based on usage. This water-based, pigment ink marker offers permanence, lightfastness, and water resistance once dry.

Troubleshooting

Ensure the cap was properly sealed. Gently shake the marker and scribble on a scrap piece of paper to reactivate ink flow. If the issue persists after consistent use, the ink may be depleted.
Ink is smudging after application.
Allow the ink to dry completely before touching the surface. Drying time can vary depending on the surface material and environmental humidity. Test on a scrap piece of the same material to determine adequate drying time.
Uneven line width despite consistent pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Edding 1455 Calligraphy Marker is ready to use straight out of the packaging. Simply uncap the marker and begin writing. For the first use, or if the ink flow seems slow, gently shake the marker and scribble on a test surface to ensure the ink flows freely to the tip.
Compatibility: This marker is designed for use on a variety of porous and semi-porous surfaces, including:

It is generally not recommended for smooth, non-porous surfaces like glass or plastic unless a primer is used, and even then, adhesion may vary.

- Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Do not expose the marker to direct sunlight or extreme heat.
- Cleaning: If the tip becomes clogged with dust or dried ink, you can try gently wiping it with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the tip in water, as this can damage it. The tip is not replaceable.
