General Usage Tips:

• Paper Selection: Alcohol markers can bleed through thin paper. Use thick paper, marker paper, or place a protective sheet underneath your artwork to prevent bleed-through.
• Blending: Alcohol-based inks are designed for smooth blending. Apply lighter colors first, then layer darker colors, or use a colorless blender marker for seamless transitions.
• Color Coding: Each marker cap is color-coded for quick identification.

4. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your Brillcolors Alcohol Markers.

Storage:

• Always store markers horizontally to ensure even ink distribution to both tips.
• Keep caps securely fastened when not in use to prevent the ink from drying out.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.

Refilling Ink:

Brillcolors markers are designed to be refillable. When a marker starts to run dry, you can replenish its ink supply.

1. Identify Low Ink: A marker may show signs of low ink by producing lighter, streaky lines.
2. Remove Nib: Carefully remove one of the marker nibs (usually the broad tip is easier) using tweezers or a cloth.
3. Add Ink: Insert the nozzle of the Brillcolors alcohol ink refill bottle into the marker barrel and slowly drip ink until the cotton core is saturated. Do not overfill.
4. Reinsert Nib: Replace the nib firmly. Allow a few minutes for the ink to fully saturate the nib before use.
