Full details
The Marabu YONO marker is designed for artists and creators of all levels seeking a versatile, all-in-one tool for various projects. Its key benefit is the ability to adapt to multiple surfaces and styles with a single marker. A caveat to note is that on non-absorbent surfaces, artwork is easily removable, which may not be ideal for permanent applications without sealing.

FAQs
How do I prepare the YONO marker for use?
Shake the marker well for about 15-20 seconds, then press the tip onto a surface 2-3 times until the ink flows evenly.
Can I use the YONO marker on fabric?
Yes, the YONO marker is suitable for fabric. Once dry, the ink is waterproof, making it durable for textiles.
What is the difference between using the marker on absorbent and non-absorbent surfaces?
On absorbent surfaces like canvas or wood, the ink becomes permanent. On non-absorbent surfaces like glass or plastic, the ink can be wiped off with a damp cloth unless sealed.
Are the tips replaceable?
Yes, the YONO markers feature high-quality Japanese tips that are replaceable.
Can I mix the YONO inks together?
Yes, while the ink is wet, colors can be mixed and blended. Once dry, they can also be overpainted.
What does 'You Only Need One' mean?
This slogan refers to the marker's versatility, suggesting that one YONO marker can serve many purposes and styles due to its adaptable tip and broad surface compatibility.
Are the neon colors as light-fast as the standard colors?
No, neon colors are semi-opaque and partially light-fast, whereas standard colors are opaque and fully light-fast.
Troubleshooting
Marker won't dispense ink
Ensure the marker was shaken vigorously before use. Pump the tip 2-3 times on a scrap surface until ink flows. Check if the tip is clogged and clean if necessary.
Ink flow is inconsistent
Shake the marker again and gently pump the tip to re-establish an even flow. Ensure the marker is stored horizontally.
Color appears faded on dark surfaces
The ink is opaque and should provide good coverage. Ensure sufficient ink has been pumped through and apply another layer once the first is dry for maximum vibrancy.
Ink smudges after drying
This is expected on non-absorbent surfaces. For permanent results on such materials, apply a clear sealant or varnish once the ink is fully dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Before first use, thoroughly shake the marker for about 15-20 seconds to ensure the ink is well-mixed. Then, press the tip onto a scrap surface 2-3 times to pump the ink through until it flows evenly. Avoid excessive pumping.
Compatibility: The YONO marker is designed for use on a vast array of surfaces including canvas, concrete, glass, ceramic, wood, metal, plastic, stone, fabric, leather, and cardboard. It is suitable for both absorbent and non-absorbent materials.
Care: Store the marker horizontally with the cap on tightly to prevent drying. If the tip becomes clogged, it can be gently cleaned with water. For non-absorbent surfaces, consider using a sealant or varnish if permanent artwork is desired. Replaceable tips are available if the original becomes worn.
