Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Preparation: Before each use, shake the pen vigorously with the cap on.
- Priming: Press the nib down several times on a piece of scrap paper until the paint starts to flow.
- Testing: Test the pen on a separate surface to ensure the ink flow is consistent and the colour is as expected.
Compatibility
The SolaDirect Acrylic Paint Marker Pen is compatible with a wide range of surfaces including paper, cardboard, canvas, fabrics, polystyrene, metal, glass, plastic, wood, and leather products. It may not adhere well to extremely smooth or non-porous surfaces. It is recommended to test on a small area first.
Care
- Storage: Always keep the pen capped when not in use to prevent the ink from drying out.
- Cleaning: Wipe the tip with a clean, damp cloth if needed.
- Maintenance: If the pen is not used for a long time, the tip may dry out. If this happens, try pressing the tip gently on a piece of paper to reactivate the flow.
