Product Information

Full details

The Sharpie Metallic Permanent Markers are designed for artists, crafters, and anyone looking to add a distinctive metallic sheen to their projects. The key benefit is the brilliant, opaque metallic ink that stands out on both light and dark surfaces, offering a unique aesthetic. A potential caveat is that while the ink is water-resistant, it may not be suitable for applications requiring extreme durability or submersion. This set includes six fine-point markers in assorted metallic colors, featuring quick-drying, fade-resistant, and water-resistant oil-based ink that doesn't require shaking before use.

FAQs

Do I need to shake these markers before use?

No, these Sharpie Metallic markers are designed for immediate use and do not require shaking.

What surfaces can I use these markers on?

These markers work on most surfaces, including paper, plastic, metal, glass, wood, and stone. They are particularly effective on dark surfaces where the metallic sheen really stands out.

Is the ink permanent?

Yes, the ink is permanent, quick-drying, fade-resistant, and water-resistant.

What colors are included in the pack?

This 6-piece pack typically includes assorted metallic colors such as gold, silver, bronze, ruby, sapphire, and emerald.

Can I use these markers for outlining drawings?

Yes, the fine point tip allows for precise outlining and detailed drawing.

Are these markers safe for use on food packaging or direct food contact?

No, these markers are not intended for direct food contact or for use on items that will come into contact with food.

How should I store the markers to maximize their lifespan?

Store the markers horizontally or with the tip pointing downwards. Always ensure the cap is securely replaced after each use to prevent the tip from drying out.

Troubleshooting

Marker is not writing or ink flow is inconsistent.

Ensure the cap has been removed. If the marker has been stored uncapped, the tip may be dry. Try gently pressing the tip onto scrap paper to encourage ink flow. Storing markers properly (horizontally or tip-down) can prevent this.

Ink smudging after application.

Allow the ink to dry completely before touching the marked surface. The quick-drying nature should minimize smudging, but patience is key, especially in humid conditions.

Metallic sheen appears dull.

Ensure the marker is held at an angle that allows light to reflect off the metallic particles. The opacity and sheen are best observed under good lighting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These markers require no setup. They are ready to use straight out of the package. Simply remove the cap and begin writing or drawing.

Compatibility: The oil-based ink is compatible with a wide variety of non-porous and porous surfaces, including paper, cardboard, plastic, metal, glass, wood, and stone. However, performance may vary on extremely glossy or slick surfaces. It is recommended to test on a small, inconspicuous area first if unsure.

Care: To ensure longevity and optimal performance:

  1. Always replace the cap securely after use to prevent the tip from drying out.
  2. Store the markers horizontally or tip-down to maintain consistent ink flow.
  3. Avoid exposing the markers to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for extended periods.
  4. Clean any accidental marks from non-intended surfaces promptly with an appropriate solvent, as the ink is permanent.
