The markers use a water-based pigment ink that is acid-free, photo-safe, waterproof, archival quality, and lightfast.
Yes, the brush nib is suitable for detailed work, while the scroll nib can be used for unique line art and decorative borders.
It is recommended to store the markers horizontally to ensure consistent ink flow to both nibs. Always cap them securely after use.
The Kuretake Zig Memory System markers are generally not designed to be refilled. They are intended for disposable use once the ink is depleted.
The scroll nib creates a continuous, textured line ideal for decorative effects and unique lettering, while the brush nib offers flexibility for varied line weights typical in calligraphy and illustration.
As these are pigment-based inks, they do not blend as easily as dye-based inks when dry. For blending, it's best to work quickly while the ink is still wet or use a dedicated blending tool with the same ink base.
Ensure the cap is fully removed. Gently shake the marker to distribute the ink. Prime the nib by scribbling on scrap paper.
Check that the marker is stored correctly (horizontally or tip down). Ensure you are applying even pressure. Clean any debris from the scroll nib with a dry, lint-free cloth.
Confirm that both caps are sealed tightly after each use. Store the markers horizontally to maintain ink flow.
Allow adequate drying time for the ink before touching the surface. The ink is waterproof once fully dry, but can be susceptible to smudging when wet.
Setup: These markers are ready to use out of the package. Simply uncap the desired end and begin drawing or writing. If the marker has been stored for a long time, you may need to gently shake it to ensure the ink is evenly distributed, especially before using the scroll nib.

It is compatible with most paper types commonly used in scrapbooking and art journaling. Avoid using on glossy or non-porous surfaces, as the ink may not adhere properly or could smudge.
Care: To ensure longevity:
