Troubleshooting

Marker isn't writing or the ink flow is inconsistent.

Shake the marker well with the cap on. Prime the tip by pressing it down on a piece of paper. If the tip is clogged, try rinsing it with water.

Ink is too transparent or not opaque enough.

Apply multiple layers, allowing each layer to dry before applying the next. Use the marker on a suitable surface.

Marker dries out quickly.

Ensure the cap is securely replaced after each use. Store the marker horizontally.
