Full details

FAQs

How do I activate the glitter ink?

Gently shake the marker to mix the glitter with the ink. Then, press the tip onto a scrap piece of paper a few times until the ink and glitter begin to flow evenly.

Can I use these markers on dark paper?

Yes, the glitter effect shows up on both light and dark surfaces. The specific color of the marker will also be visible.

What is the purpose of the Clear Wink of Stella marker?

The Clear marker contains only glitter particles suspended in a clear medium. It's perfect for adding a transparent glitter sheen over existing colors or designs without altering their hue.

Are these markers permanent?

The ink is water-based and acid-free with archival quality, meaning it is lightfast and won't fade over time. However, it is not waterproof once dry.

What is the tip size and type?

These markers feature a fine, bullet-style tip with a 0.8 mm width, suitable for detailed work and fine lines.

How should I store the markers?

Store the Wink of Stella markers horizontally with the caps tightly secured to prevent the ink from drying out and to ensure even glitter distribution.

Can I layer these markers over other inks?

Yes, you can layer the Wink of Stella markers over dry inks from other pens or markers. It's recommended to test on a scrap piece first to ensure compatibility and desired effect.

Troubleshooting

Marker is not writing or ink flow is weak.

Gently shake the marker to redistribute the glitter. Prime the tip by pressing it onto scrap paper until ink flows. Ensure the cap is sealed tightly when not in use.

Ink appears patchy or inconsistent.

This can be due to glitter settling. Shake the marker again and re-apply. For smoother coverage, consider a second light layer after the first has dried.

Glitter smudges after application.

Allow adequate drying time before touching the ink. On smoother paper, smudging is more likely; use thicker, more absorbent paper or cardstock.

Tip feels dry or stiff.

Gently clean the tip with a slightly damp cloth, then re-prime the marker by pressing it onto scrap paper. Store horizontally with caps on tightly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These markers are ready to use straight from the package. Before the first use, gently shake the marker to distribute the glitter within the ink. Then, prime the tip by pressing it lightly onto a scrap piece of paper a few times until the ink begins to flow.

Compatibility: The Wink of Stella markers work best on paper, cardstock, and other porous surfaces. They are compatible with most inks and mediums, but always test on a small area first. Avoid using them on glossy or non-porous surfaces where the ink may not adhere well or could smudge.

Care: Store markers horizontally with the caps on tightly to prevent drying out. If the tip becomes clogged or ink flow diminishes, gently wipe the tip with a slightly damp cloth and re-prime as described in the setup section. Keep away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
