3. Maintenance
3.1 Capping After Use
To prevent the ink from drying out, always replace the cap securely after each use. The cap can be conveniently placed on the end of the marker barrel during use to prevent loss.
3.2 Erasing
The low-odor DryGuard ink is designed to erase cleanly from whiteboards. Use a dry erase eraser or a soft cloth to remove markings. For stubborn marks, a specialized whiteboard cleaner may be used.

3.3 Storage
Store markers horizontally to ensure even ink distribution and prolong their lifespan.
4. Troubleshooting
If a marker appears dry or faint, try recapping it tightly and storing it tip-down for a few hours to allow ink to flow to the tip. If the issue persists, the marker may be depleted.
