Setup, Compatibility & Care
Usage: Store the marker horizontally when not in use to maintain consistent ink distribution to the tip.

Compatibility: Safe to use on most industrial materials including glass, wood, vinyl tape, and hard plastics. Test on an inconspicuous area if marking delicate finished surfaces.
