FAQs
Are these pens refillable?
No, these are standard disposable drywipe markers and are not designed to be refilled.
What is the 24-hour cap-off time?
This means the pen can be left uncapped for up to 24 hours without the ink drying out, allowing for uninterrupted use in busy environments.
Can I use these pens on surfaces other than whiteboards?
These pens are specifically designed for use on standard drywipe (non-permanent) whiteboard surfaces. Using them on other surfaces may result in permanent marks or damage.
How do I clean the whiteboard effectively?
Use the included Show-me MAGIX Cleaner with a soft cloth or one of the mini foam erasers. For regular maintenance, a quick wipe with an eraser or dry cloth is often sufficient.
What is the difference between fine tip and medium tip?
Fine tip pens have a narrower nib, allowing for more precise and detailed writing, while medium tip pens have a broader nib suitable for general writing and larger displays.
Is the ink permanent?
No, the ink is specifically formulated to be 'drywipe', meaning it can be easily erased from compatible whiteboard surfaces.
What should I do if a pen dries out?
If a pen has been left uncapped for longer than 24 hours, it may be permanently dried out and will need to be replaced.
Troubleshooting
Pen not writing or skipping
Ensure the cap was on properly. Try scribbling on a scrap piece of paper to re-ink the nib. If the pen has been left uncapped for an extended period beyond 24 hours, it may be dried out.
Ink smudging immediately after writing
Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Some whiteboard surfaces may have different properties; test on an inconspicuous area. Make sure the ink has had a moment to set, though drywipe ink is designed for immediate wiping.
Marks are difficult to erase
Use the provided Show-me MAGIX Cleaner. Stubborn marks may require a slightly longer contact time with the cleaner. Ensure you are using a clean eraser or cloth.
Pen lid is difficult to remove or replace
Ensure the cap is not cracked. If it feels stiff, try a gentle twisting motion. Avoid forcing the cap, which could damage the nib.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The product arrives ready to use. Simply remove the pens from the tray. The included tray is designed to fit standard classroom furniture. The MAGIX cleaner and mini erasers are also ready for immediate use.
Compatibility: These drywipe markers are designed for use on all standard drywipe or non-permanent whiteboards. Ensure your whiteboard surface is specifically designed for drywipe markers to avoid damage.
Care:
- Pen Storage: Store pens upright or horizontally when not in use to maintain ink flow. Always replace the cap firmly after use, especially if the 24-hour cap-off period has passed.
- Whiteboard Cleaning: For regular cleaning, use the provided Show-me MAGIX Cleaner and a soft cloth or the mini foam erasers. For stubborn marks, apply cleaner and let it sit for a moment before wiping.
- Deep Cleaning: Use the MAGIX Cleaner periodically for a deeper clean to remove ghosting or ink residue.
- Avoid Permanent Markers: Never use permanent markers on a drywipe surface, as this can permanently damage the board.
