Usage Instructions

Water-based acrylic markers feature a specially designed valve-type tip. To ensure optimal performance, follow these steps to activate the tip during first use or after extended storage:

Step 1: Shake Thoroughly: Remove the cap, hold the marker vertically with the tip pointing upward, and shake the marker body rapidly for about fifteen to twenty times. This action uses the internal mixing ball to thoroughly agitate the ink, ensuring even distribution of pigment components and preventing colour unevenness or settling.

Step 2a: Press to Release Ink using pen opener  (see below step 2b for alternative methode): See picture - Push tip into pen opener until you see the ink appearing

Step 2b: Press to Release Ink: With the tip pointing downward on scrap paper or a test sheet, gently press the tip, pausing briefly before releasing. Repeat this action five to ten times. During pressing, you will feel the elastic rebound of the tip. Continue pressing until ink flows evenly from the tip,forming continuous and smooth lines on the paper.

Step 3: Test and Adjust: Before starting your actual creation, it is recommended to test on scrap paper to check if the ink flow is even, the colour is normal, and the line thickness meets your expectations. If you find the ink flow is not smooth or lines are intermittent, continue repeating the pressing action until the ink flows smoothly.

Step 4: Begin Creating: Once the tip is successfully activated, you can begin your formal creation. Maintain an appropriate angle and pressure during use, applying even force to achieve optimal line effects.
