FAQs
How do I prepare the fabric before using the markers?
It is recommended to pre-wash the fabric without using fabric softener. Ensure the fabric is clean, dry, and free of any sizing or finishes. Using the markers on natural, light-colored fabrics like cotton yields the best results.
What is the best way to heat-set the designs?
After the ink has completely dried (allow at least 24 hours), place a piece of scrap fabric or parchment paper over the design. Iron the area on a medium-high setting (no steam) for 3-5 minutes, moving the iron constantly. This process permanently bonds the ink to the fabric fibers.
Can I use these markers on dark fabrics?
These markers are designed for light-colored fabrics. While you might achieve some visibility on medium tones, they are not recommended for dark or black fabrics without using a primer or fabric medium specifically designed for markers on dark surfaces.
How long do the markers last once opened?
When stored horizontally with caps tightly sealed, the markers should maintain their ink quality for a considerable period. However, consistent use and proper storage are key to their longevity.
Are the colours vibrant enough for detailed artwork?
Yes, the 20 standard colours offer a vibrant palette. The fine tip allows for intricate details and precise lines, while the broad tip is suitable for coloring larger areas, making them versatile for detailed artwork as well as bold designs.
Can children use these markers safely?
These markers are suitable for children, but adult supervision is recommended, especially during the heat-setting process. Ensure children do not ingest the ink and use them in a well-ventilated area.
Troubleshooting
Marker not working or ink flow is weak
Ensure the marker has been shaken vigorously for at least 30 seconds. Press the tip onto scrap paper to re-prime the ink flow. Check if the cap was left off for an extended period.
Ink bleeding or feathering on fabric
This can happen on very thin or loosely woven fabrics. Try using lighter pressure and smaller strokes. Ensure the fabric is taut and smooth. Pre-washing the fabric without softener can also help.
Color looks dull after drying
Ensure the fabric is light-colored and made of natural fibers like cotton. Proper heat setting is crucial; make sure the ironing process was sufficient (3-5 minutes at medium-high heat).
Design washes out after first wash
The design was likely not properly heat-set. Ensure the ink was completely dry before ironing and that the ironing process was thorough and for the recommended duration.

Care:

Heat-set the design by ironing it on a medium-high setting (without steam) for 3-5 minutes, using a pressing cloth or a piece of scrap fabric over the design.
