FAQs

Is the silver ink truly opaque?

Yes, the ink is designed to be opaque, meaning it will cover the surface underneath and provide a solid metallic silver appearance, even over dark colors.

How long does the ink take to dry?

The ink dries quickly, typically within a few seconds to a minute, depending on the surface and environmental humidity. It is recommended to allow a minute before touching.

Can I use this pen on fabric?

While the pen adheres to many surfaces, it is not specifically designed for fabric. Results on fabric may vary, and the ink may not be permanent or wash-resistant.

Is this pen suitable for outdoor use?

The ink is water and fade-resistant once dry, offering some durability for outdoor applications. However, prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions may still affect its longevity. For maximum durability, consider a clear sealant over the dried ink.

How many colors are available for this specific Pen-Touch model?

This particular model, MPN 41102, is specifically for the silver color. Sakura offers other Pen-Touch markers in different colors and tip sizes.

Do I need to seal the ink after application for permanence?

For most applications on paper, wood, and cardboard, the ink is permanent and durable enough on its own. For surfaces like glass or metal, or for maximum longevity in demanding environments, applying a clear acrylic sealant over the dried ink is recommended.

What does 'xylene-free' mean for the user?

Xylene-free means the ink does not contain this common, strong-smelling solvent. This makes the pen safer to use in enclosed spaces with less risk of inhaling harmful fumes, offering a more pleasant experience.

Troubleshooting

Pen not dispensing ink

Shake the pen vigorously for 30 seconds. Prime the tip by pressing it gently on scrap paper until ink flows.

Ink flow is inconsistent or skipping

Shake the pen again and re-prime the tip. Ensure the pen is stored horizontally and the cap is sealed when not in use.

Ink smudging after application

Allow more drying time. The ink dries quickly, but very humid conditions can slow the process. Ensure you are not touching the ink before it's fully dry.

Tip appears dry or hardened

Gently wipe the tip with a slightly damp cloth. If still blocked, try priming again after shaking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Shake Well: Before the first use, and periodically during use, shake the pen vigorously for at least 30 seconds to mix the metallic pigment thoroughly.
  2. Prime the Tip: After shaking, hold the pen tip-down on a scrap piece of paper. Press the tip down gently a few times until the ink flows consistently to the tip.

  • Paper and Cardboard
  • Wood
  • Glass

Care:

  • Storage: Store the pen horizontally with the cap on tightly to prevent the ink from drying out.
  • Cleaning: If the tip becomes clogged, gently wipe it with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using solvents.
  • Surface Preparation: For best results on non-porous surfaces like glass or metal, ensure the surface is clean and dry, free from dust, grease, or moisture.
