FAQs
Can these markers be used on canvas?
These markers are optimized for smooth paper surfaces; they may not perform well on textured or primed canvas.
Are these markers waterproof once dry?
The pigments are designed for permanence, but testing on your specific paper type is recommended before starting a final project.
How do I know when the ink is running low?
You will notice a gradual reduction in line opacity or flow consistency when the pigment supply is nearing depletion.
Can I refill these pens?
The Derwent Graphik Markers are designed as professional disposable tools and are not intended for refilling.
Are they suitable for beginners?
Yes, while they are professional-grade, they are highly accessible for beginners looking to improve their line work precision.
What is the best way to store these markers?
Keep them stored horizontally to ensure the ink remains balanced within the chamber.
Troubleshooting
Ink not flowing from the tip
Gently shake the marker and pump the tip against a scrap piece of paper several times to draw the pigment into the nib.
Lines appearing faint or streaky
The ink may be settling; shake the pen again and ensure you are not pressing too hard, which can starve the nib of ink.
Tip fraying
Reduce the amount of pressure applied during use and ensure you are using smooth, non-abrasive paper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your markers, shake them well and press the tip onto a scrap piece of paper several times until the ink flows smoothly through the felt. For optimal results, use these markers on smooth, bleed-proof drawing surfaces; heavy-texture watercolor paper may fray the precision tips. Always recap the pens firmly when not in use to prevent the pigments from drying out. Store these pens horizontally to keep the ink distributed evenly across the nibs. Avoid applying excessive downward pressure, as this can damage the fine precision tips, particularly on the 0.1 mm size.
