Operating Instructions

Sharpie Permanent Markers are designed for ease of use across various applications.

General Use:

• Hold the marker firmly, ensuring a comfortable grip.
• Apply the fine tip to the desired surface with light to moderate pressure.
• Allow a few seconds for the ink to dry completely, especially on non-porous surfaces, to prevent smudging.
• Always replace the cap securely after each use to prevent the ink from drying out.

Recommended Surfaces:

• Paper and Cardboard
• Plastic (e.g., storage bins, containers)
• Metal (e.g., tools, labels)
• Wood
• Fabric (note: ink is permanent and may bleed on some fabrics)

Maintenance and Care

• Always Cap After Use: To prevent the ink from drying out, ensure the cap is securely replaced on the marker after every use. A click sound indicates a secure seal.
• Storage: Store markers horizontally to ensure even ink distribution and prevent one side of the tip from drying out. Store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or extreme heat.
• Cleaning: If ink gets on unintended surfaces, rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer may help remove it from non-porous materials. Test in an inconspicuous area first.
• Avoid Excessive Pressure: While durable, applying excessive pressure can fray the fine tip over time.
