Product Features
- Dual Tips: Chisel & Fine: Each marker is equipped with two tips. The fine tip (1-2mm) is ideal for precise details and straight lines, while the wide chisel tip (1-6mm) is perfect for large streak-free color coverage, adding texture, and a variety of marks.
- Refillable Ink: Ohuhu offers refillable ink for 51 popular colors, with more options becoming available. This extends the lifespan of your markers and allows for continuous creativity.
- Seamless Blending & Quick Drying: The high-quality alcohol-based ink blends smoothly, preventing splotches and uneven coloring. It dries quickly, ensuring clean, crisp, and smudge-free artwork.
- 100 Vibrant Colors + 1 Colorless Blender: A comprehensive palette of 100 unique, brilliant colors, plus a colorless blender for advanced blending techniques and adding dimension.
- Color-Coded Caps & Portable Carrying Case: Markers feature color-coded caps for easy identification and organization. The set includes a durable carrying case for convenient storage and portability.

Setup and Preparation
- Organize Markers: The markers come in a carrying case. You can organize them by color or number for easy access. Color-coded caps aid in quick identification.
- Create a Swatch Sheet: Utilize the provided swatch sheets to test each marker's true color on paper. This helps in accurate color selection as cap colors may vary slightly from actual ink color.
- Protect Your Work Surface: Alcohol markers can bleed through thin paper. Always place the included plastic sheet or several sheets of scrap paper underneath your artwork to prevent bleed-through onto subsequent pages or your work surface.

Operating Instructions (Usage)
Using Dual Tips:
- Fine Tip: Use the fine tip for intricate details, outlining, and creating precise lines.
- Chisel Tip: Employ the chisel tip for broad strokes, filling large areas quickly, and adding varied textures. Adjust the angle of the tip to control line thickness.
Blending Techniques:
- Layering: Apply lighter colors first, then layer darker shades on top. The alcohol-based ink allows for smooth transitions.
- Colorless Blender: Use the colorless blender (marker '0') to lighten colors, create smooth gradients, or correct small mistakes. Apply it over existing colors to push the pigment or create a faded effect.
- Tip-to-Tip Blending: For seamless transitions between two colors, gently touch the tip of a lighter marker to the tip of a darker marker. The lighter marker will pick up some of the darker ink, allowing for a gradual blend when applied to paper.

Maintenance
- Storing Markers: Store markers horizontally to ensure even ink distribution to both tips. Keep caps tightly closed to prevent drying.
- Refilling Ink: When a marker runs low on ink, purchase the corresponding Ohuhu ink refill. Carefully remove the tip and inject the refill ink into the marker barrel according to the refill instructions.
- Replacing Tips: If a marker tip becomes frayed or damaged, replacement tips are available from Ohuhu. Gently pull out the old tip with tweezers and insert a new one.

Troubleshooting
- Marker Appears Dry: Ensure the cap is securely closed after each use. If a marker seems dry, try storing it horizontally for a few hours. If still dry, it may need refilling.
- Ink Bleeding: This is common with alcohol markers on thinner paper. Always use the provided plastic sheet or appropriate marker paper to prevent bleed-through.
- Uneven Blending: Practice blending techniques on scrap paper. Ensure you are working quickly and interchanging between colors to keep the paper saturated and allow for smooth transitions. Using paper specifically designed for alcohol markers can also improve blending results.
