FAQs

What type of tip does this marker have?

This marker features an ultra-fine tip, designed for precise and detailed marking.

Can I use these markers on fabric?

While the ink is permanent and works on many surfaces, it is not specifically formulated for fabric and may fade or wash out over time. Test on a small area first.

Is the ink waterproof once dry?

Yes, the ink is waterproof and fade-resistant once it has fully dried.

How long does the ink last?

The fade-resistant ink is designed for durability. Actual longevity depends on the surface and environmental conditions of exposure.

Are these markers safe for use around food or on food containers?

The ink is Xylene-free. However, it is permanent. Avoid direct contact with food. For food containers, use on the exterior where it will not contact food.

What is the line width produced by the ultra-fine tip?

The extra-fine 2.0mm nib size produces an approximate line width of 0.8mm.

How should I store the markers?

Store markers horizontally or with the tip facing down to ensure consistent ink flow. Always replace the cap securely after use.

Troubleshooting

Marker not writing or ink flow is weak.

Ensure the cap has been on securely to prevent drying. Try storing the marker tip-down for a few hours or gently shaking it. If the issue persists, the marker may be depleted.

Ink smudging during use.

Allow the ink to dry fully on the surface before touching it. The ink is quick-drying, but extended contact immediately after writing can cause smudging. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before marking.

Ink bleeding on porous surfaces.

While designed for smooth flow, very porous surfaces might absorb ink. Test on a small, inconspicuous area first. For extremely porous materials, consider a different type of marker or apply a sealant beforehand.

Difficulty removing marker from a surface.

As the ink is permanent, removal can be challenging. Try using a solvent like rubbing alcohol or a specialized permanent marker remover, testing in an inconspicuous area first to avoid damaging the surface.
