You can use it on virtually any surface, including paper, card, metal, glass, plastic, textiles, and more.
The ink is permanent on absorbent media like paper and card. On other surfaces, permanence depends on the treatment applied (e.g., heat or varnish).
Bake in the oven at 160°C for 45 minutes, then spray with clear varnish.
Always replace the cap tightly after use and store the marker horizontally.
Yes, on shiny surfaces, you can remove the ink with a scraper. However, on absorbent media, the ink is permanent.
The stroke width is approximately 1.8 - 2.5 mm.
If your marker dries out, you can try rewetting the nib with a small amount of water or a specialized marker cleaner.
Shake the marker well with the cap on and prime the nib by pressing it onto a surface a few times. If the problem persists, try storing the marker horizontally.
Ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying the marker. If the surface is non-absorbent, allow the ink to dry completely and consider using a sealant or the appropriate heat treatment.
The nib might be clogged. Try wiping the nib with a clean cloth or tissue. If that doesn't work, consider using a replacement nib.
