FAQs

How do I prepare the markers for use?

Shake the marker vigorously for at least 30 seconds to ensure the ink is well mixed. You may need to prime the tip on scrap paper by pressing down gently until ink flows consistently.

What is the best way to make the colors permanent?

After the ink has dried completely on the fabric, heat-set the design by ironing the area for 2-5 minutes. Iron on the reverse side of the fabric or place a protective cloth over the design.

Can I use these markers on dark fabrics?

These markers are designed for optimal performance on light-colored or white fabrics. While they may show up on darker fabrics, the colors will be less vibrant and may not appear as intended.

How should I wash fabric decorated with these markers?

You can machine wash decorated items up to 40°C. It is recommended to wash them inside out, on a gentle cycle, and avoid using bleach or fabric softeners.

Can children use these markers?

Yes, these markers are easy to use and suitable for children, but adult supervision is recommended, especially during the heat-setting process.

What is the tip size for each marker?

Each marker has a fine tip measuring approximately 2.3 mm for detailed work and a broad tip measuring approximately 3.6 mm for filling larger areas.

Can I blend colors together?

Yes, you can blend colors. Apply one color, let it dry slightly, and then apply another color alongside or over it for a blended effect. Layering is also possible once the underlying color is dry.

Troubleshooting

Marker not drawing ink

Ensure the marker is shaken well. Check if the tips are clean and free of debris. Prime the tip by pressing it gently on scrap paper until ink flows.

Ink bleeding or feathering

Ensure you are using the marker on appropriate, tightly woven light fabrics. Try pressing more lightly or using the fine tip for finer control. Ensure the fabric is taut.

Colors fade after washing

Confirm that the ink was properly heat-set after drying by ironing according to instructions. Ensure the washing temperature does not exceed 40°C and avoid harsh detergents or bleach.

Broad tip is too wet

Wipe any excess ink from the broad tip with a lint-free cloth. Apply less pressure when using the broad tip. Ensure the fabric surface is smooth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Before the first use, and periodically thereafter, shake the marker well to ensure the ink is fully mixed. For best results, test the marker on a small, inconspicuous area of the fabric first.

Compatibility: These markers are recommended for use on cotton and other light-colored natural fabrics. They may not perform as expected or could bleed on synthetic materials, dark fabrics, or heavily treated textiles.

Care: After applying the ink and allowing it to dry (refer to specific drying times if provided), heat-set the design by ironing the fabric on the reverse side or over a thin cloth for 2-5 minutes. Allow the fabric to cool before washing. Wash decorated items in a machine up to 40°C, preferably on a gentle cycle and inside out. Avoid using bleach.
