Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, shake the marker with the cap on to mix the internal pigment. Press the tip down on a scrap piece of paper several times until the ink flows into the nib. For long-term storage, keep markers in a horizontal position to ensure even ink flow to the tip. To clean the tip, simply wipe it with a damp cloth if paint builds up. If you are applying ink to non-porous surfaces like glass or metal, allow the ink to dry completely, then bake the object in an oven (if heat-safe) or spray with a clear acrylic varnish to ensure the artwork remains permanent.
