Setup and First Use
Before using your maxtek Dry Erase Markers for the first time, or after extended periods of non-use, follow these steps to ensure optimal ink flow:
- Shake Well: With the cap securely on, shake the marker vigorously for approximately 10-15 seconds. This helps to thoroughly mix the pigment and solvent within the direct ink system.
- Prime the Tip: Remove the cap. Gently press the bullet tip down onto a scrap piece of paper or the writing surface several times until the ink begins to flow consistently. Do not press excessively hard or for prolonged periods once ink flow is established.
- Begin Writing: Once the tip is saturated with ink, the marker is ready for use.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your markers.

Troubleshooting
- Ink Not Flowing: If the ink flow is inconsistent or stops, ensure the cap was securely replaced after the last use. Re-prime the marker by shaking it well with the cap on, then gently pressing the tip onto a surface until ink flows.
- Faint Lines: If lines appear faint, the marker may need re-priming or the tip might be worn. Try re-priming first. If the issue persists, consider replacing the tip using the provided extra tips and tweezers.
- Residue After Erasing: Ensure you are using the markers on a non-porous surface. For best results, use a clean, dry cloth or a dedicated dry erase board eraser. If residue remains, a specialized whiteboard cleaner may be used.
