Components of Marker

Writing knot
In the marker it is a fibrous rod of felt, lavsana or other porous material inserted into the case. The rod is impregnated with special dyes (alcohol ink). Traditionally, oval straightes are called bullet-shaped (round), and with a geometrically beveled form - wedges. The optimal length of the tip is 4 mm. If it is longer, the marker will dry quickly. The rod in no way should be soft - quickly sprinkle.

Filler
Ink should be without tart smell, light-standing and not toxic. The refueling from benzene dries quickly (after six months), so the most durable markers are filled with ink on water based. They can be found in the inscription on the package: Water Base. Good ink for a long time they do not fade into the light and do not change their color. By type ink, markers are divided into permanent and non-remanate. In the first ink are intraimed and resistant to moisture, they have high transparency, when designing a bright and clear image. These markers are used for inscriptions on various plastic materials, glass, diapass framework, etc. Wash such inks only with alcohol, plastic eraser or corrective marker. Last time, textsmen began to appear, inside which is not fiber, impregnated with ink, and liquid ink (free ink). Such texovders are written longer than ordinary. Today, text markers with ink swap system appeared on the market. Ink feed is regulated by pressing the rod. Ink in such texellites is much larger than in a conventional marker with a felt rod, and the storage time with an open cap is unlimited - only ink in the spout, which can be impregnated again.

Line length
To determine it, the marker is fixed in the recorder locks, then with a strict adherence to push, comparable to pressure during the operation of the marker, the straight line is drawn on paper until the gaps appear on it. The length of the resulting homogeneous line is considered the main characteristic of the writing product. The perfect line should be smooth, without inclects and spaces. The length is measured in meters and depends on the quality of the dye applied and the volume of the fiber inside the marker impregnated with this dye. A marker drawn the trace is characterized by a length and brightness. The brightness of the trace is determined by the ink flow rate per 100 m. According to European standards, the continuous line that the marker can draw should be at least a half-kilometer. In this case, the ink consumption per 100 m should not be less than 190 mg.

Color
The color gamut markers depends on the specific purpose. The most popular are four colors: black, blue, red and green. Although, for example, the overall color gamut in EDDING markers is represented by 64 colors. Usually, office texts sequers 6 ~ 9 colors, industrial markers - no more colors, the most popular black and red.

Housing
The material from which the housing is made should prevent the evaporation of ink. The case of the marker should be ergonomic and made of polystyrene, plastic or metal (iron). Most products today are made from polypropylene. This material is very durable and allows for a long time without loss and drying to keep inside the case container with ink.

Plug
This item, if it is welded to the body, prevents ink flowing and safe for children. It can also be removed if the marker is filled.

Packaging
Multicolor sets are offered in a transparent blister from soft plastic. Most markers are decomposed into sets of colors of 10 pieces, or sold in plastic or blister packs with erections, in displays-boxes, or in cardboard boxes and sets of 4-colors. Also there are boxes of laminated cardboard with euro-club for 12 pieces of one color, in a hard blister of 4 and b pieces of different colors. The packaging should contain information about the product, expiration rates in Russian.

Shelf life
Directly on the products it is rare. More often - on transport and wholesale packs. The shelf life during which markers retain color saturation is an essential characteristic. It also matters the time during which the marker does not stop writing without a cap. In general, the expiration date depends on the filler, the case material, the tightness of the cap, the ink composition. The more alcohol in ink, the less use of it. Typically, markers serve from one to three years.

Office markers

To cover all types of markers in one article - the task is very difficult. Therefore, in our review we will focus on the most popular and demanded by the Russian consumer and models of markers.

Permanent
The most practical, and therefore permanent markers are considered the most popular group. "Permanent" translated from English sounds like "stable". Stable in the sense of the quality of the applied image. Such a marker causes a uniform homogeneous unreclaimed line on a variety of surfaces. Permanent markers in turn are divided into two subgroups - with ink on alcohol and water based. The text written by a marker on an alcohol basis can be removed by any alcohol-containing composition or solvent. Basically they have a bullet tip. The thickness of the line varies from 1 mm to 16 mm. An industrial markers also apply to this category of markers, their benefits appreciated workers of warehouses, industries, laboratories.

a) permanent markers on alcohol basis
Write on paper, rubber, skin, plastic, metal. The image is waterproof and retains its original qualities even at high temperatures (up to 100 degrees). The islar markers are distinguished: traditionally oval or geometric beveled. Separately, you need to talk about thin markers. Possessing all the listed qualities, they are equipped with a relatively thin fibrous edge with a diameter of 1 mm. Thanks to this, such markers have been widely used in a wide variety of areas.

b) water-based markers
Speaking about water-based markers, it is impossible not to stop at the Permanent series markers: they write on any surfaces: paper, rubber, plastic, leather, glass, metal. They have a high saturation of color, resistant to fading, heat resistance, do not smell. Some models are designed primarily for writing on paper. High resistance to drying ink guarantees at least a week of the expiration date of the open marker. Water-based ink does not blur on paper, there are no smell.

Markers for CD, DVD
This is a fairly large group of markers designed to perform a specific nature (inscriptions on signs, on CD, CD-ROMs and DVDs, tattoos, etc.). Water-based ink does not damage the information stored on the disk. Reverse projection markers are used for writing and drawing on transparent foil used in codecops (reverse projectors), as well as on the most different types Plastics, glass, framework_ diapositis, film films. These markers are on aquatic or alcohol basis and have the above characteristics. Markers for reverse projection are produced with fibrous, wedge-shaped edges from 0.6 to 6 mm.

Textians
They are also called signal or text markers to highlight text. They are refilled in ink on a water basis very bright, saturated colors. Fluorescent text marker with reflex resistant ink is designed for writing on any type of paper. It has a wedge-shaped edge with a 1-4 mm wide width and a ventilated cap (which is safer when swallowed by a child). There are signal markers suitable for selection of text on paper for faxes and copiers. They are refilled with fluorescent inks of different (mostly seven) flowers, have a wedge-shaped point with a line width of 1-4.6 mm. Separate models are equipped with a ventilated cap. Good text You divider does not impregnate paper through, and, accordingly, its traces are not visible from the back of the sheet.

Flipchart (Bord Markers)
No presentation takes place without providing visual information, which can be applied to the paper block or on the board. Markers for flipcharts and enamel boards are filled with special ink and allow you to erase the inscription with an ordinary dry napkin with any smooth surface. For some brands, there are separate ink cans that are easy to use in living conditions. These markers can stay without a cap without a triple days.

Whiteboard
The marker is easily erased with a white board. High-quality plastic provides long-term use. Basically use the bullet tip.

For projector films
For those who often have to hold a presentation using the overhead projector, this marker is simply indispensable, in the course of the presentation, the user can always try to draw something or build graphs. These markers can also write on glass, plastic, framework for slides.

Liner
The liner, unlike markers and markers, has a very thin line of writing and is intended for writing, signatures, sketches, fine drawing, stroking drawings and paperwork. It is characterized by a long utilization, ease of writing and a clean, contrast and bright line. All liners are completed with the tips of two types: thin plastic edge and plastic edge in a metal cable. The tip of the liner is of different thickness - from 0.3 to 0.5 mm.

Roller
It differs from the marker and the liner by the fact that its tip is equipped with a metal ball. Roller - an alternative to traditional writing means. The main advantage of the Roller is that in winter, at low temperatures, it fully retains its operational properties. All rollers are produced in the traditional color palette with a line width of 0.3 mm and 0.5 mm. They are ideal for primary schoolsThey have ergonomic design, equipped with high-quality ballpoint, giving a thin uniform line, and an increased ink margin. The text written by the roller is easy to remove the ink absorber.

Fluorescent marker
Water-based ink is distinguished by high light-resistance and provide high label quality even on fax and copy paper. The beveled tip (5 mm thick) is resistant to mechanical deformations.

Dry marker
Required assistant in school. It is also called a dry erasing marker. A trace of such a marker remains bright for a long period. The rod retains its qualities for a long time and is not deformed due to frequent use.

Today I appeared fashion for not quite familiar markers - specialized and industrial. But these "species" will appreciate, perhaps, only specialists. Each such marker is intended for a certain kind of activity.

For X-ray
Used mainly in medicine. Produced with a round tip in a metal frame. Ink resistant, almost odorless, with a varnishing effect. Designed for inscriptions and labeling on X-ray films. Line thickness -0.8 mm.

For tile
Serve for repair purposes. The ink includes a fungicide that prevents the formation of a mold fungus. Ink waterproof and unstable.

Rapidographs
These are technical tubular handles for drawing on a tracing. The tip of the handles is made of special stainless steel and is released both in a set with the case and separately.

Markers for fabric
Permanent markers for drawing, inscriptions and paintings Almost all types of fabric without finishing, such as cotton, silk, flax, etc. To fix the color, the material you just need to try the iron without steam. After that, the cloth can be washed. The markers use pigment ink on a water basis with a neutral smell, which are very resistant to light. Produced by S. multiple width Rows and in a wide color palette.

For glass
They are designed for decorating and inscriptions on glass and other smooth surfaces. They have a chalk base and wash off with a wet sponge, are ideal for displaying showcases and windows. The ink stream is regulated by the valve.

Aerospace
Released with a round tip, has a water-based pigment ink, which weakly corrode, almost do not smell, are resistant to many solvents and paints, light-standing, intracerable and after drying the waterproof. Line thickness -0.75 mm. This marker is ideal for inscriptions on the details of the aircraft. Tested by the airline "British Aerosphere".

For industrial graphics
Painting permanent marker with a round tip. Persistent inks fall on a thick dense layer, have a lacker effect. Ideal for inscriptions on a fatty and dusty surface. Line thickness ~ 2-4 mm.

Markers for Hobbies

White varnish marker
It is used on surfaces of various quality, such as: cardboard, plastic, glass, ceramics, wood, plastic, rubber, metal. Possessing a good covering ability, the marker creates a brilliant white line, imitating paint. Line width 1-15 mm. The image is resistant to erasure, waterproof and light-resistant.

Textile markers
Contain saturated light-resistant ink on a water basis and write on all types of textiles. The image is saved and after washing at temperatures up to 60 degrees. Some are equipped with a brush tip, which allows drawing the same as a brush with paints.

Not many of us know about what a permanent marker is, even though it is used almost every day. This is an incredibly popular means for writing, which has a variety of shapes, colors, destinations. And it is about this that will be discussed in this article.

What does the permanent mean?

Let's clarify what this term means. In French and Latin language, the Word is almost similar, it has the same translation, namely - permanent, unstable. A permanent marker is used in a variety of spheres where you need to apply inscription, sign, drawing or pointer.

It differs from ordinary thick felter by the fact that the inscription will not erase if not to apply significant efforts.

Important! Currently, it is quite popular to apply a temporary tattoo, draw eyebrows permanent marker. Using it you can create any images, and not exclusively text. For example, a permanent marker white - perfectly replaces a thin brush along with the paint to apply various drawings on a dark surface of absolutely any material.

Just due to its high durability and accuracy, it is indispensable in any field of activity. Especially they like to use students, schoolchildren, office worker.

On what surfaces he writes?

Unlike marker, permanent marker writes almost on all materials. Any surface is suitable:

• disk;
• package;
• paper;
• wood;
• the cloth;
• a rock;
• tile;
• glass.

In fact, list the surfaces on which this marker will withdraw the desired pattern or the inscription, can be infinite. But it is always necessary to remember that such a stationery is not omnipotent. If you apply any inscription on a metal, plastic canister or a bottle in which gasoline is present, butter, it will erase. But do not despair, because even the most resistant paint is gradually coming.

Important! It is just that that acetone and petroleum products will help you erase the inscriptions, drawings that were applied using the permanent marker. But after completion of the surface treatment with petroleum products, do not make new marks immediately. You must completely remove all the remains of gasoline or oil, and then you can apply new inscriptions.

Sizes, shapes and colors of tips

What colors come from a permanent marker? Almost everywhere there is an opportunity to meet such:

• white;
• red;
• the black;
• brown;
• blue;
• green.

Important! White as well brown colorsUnfortunately, there are less frequently on sale, because manufacturers seek to produce extremely sought-after colors. Therefore, a black permanent marker is sold in almost any stationery store.

An important factor is a thickness that fluctuates from 0.5 mm to 1 cm:

• Naturally, for small records, for example, a 0.5-0.75 mm thick marker is suitable for a disk.
• But the worker in the warehouse, in order to sign huge drawers, the marker will need a thickness of which will be at least 5 mm.

In addition, there are 3 types of tips:

• bess;
• round;
• wedge-shaped.

Important! The worker in the warehouse would most come up round, well, and schoolboy for various drive signatures - beveled.

Why and how to choose?

Above the above-mentioned example with a schoolboy and warehouse workers. The student marker can be useful not only to sign discs. Suppose there is a plastic huge ruler on which the numbers on the scale erased. With a subtle marker, you can easily restore the inscriptions. But for the wall page there is better not to use it, because there is no point in that.

You can sign using permanent markers:

• banks along with the billets;
• boxes from absolutely any material;
• tools, wrenches, a variety of details.
• it will be convenient for both gardeners, gardens to sign various glasses with a seedler - without fear that the letters will be erased due to contact with water or fertilizer mortar.

Important! As an example of high quality fixtures - a permanent edding marker has a very wide range of actions. A mentioned firm produces various types of their appropriate appointment. Absolutely each marker has its own model that is spelled out on the case itself. For example, Edding-750 is a white marker. With the help of it inscriptions, and do not use light paint, which is quite convenient.

Other areas of use

All of the above are the standard areas of use of such a felt-meter. But this circle can be much expanded at its discretion:

• Permanent marker can be made of labels on shoes, furniture, tiles. It remains only to take the desired color, as well as pick up the necessary thickness.
• During the creation of decorations, painting on glass it will be indispensable. Sometimes you can even confuse, how is it written or painted: putty, paint or marker?

Important! The benefits of a permanent marker lies not only in its waterproof, but also in the limit accuracy of the generated lines, in brightness and color clarity.

How to eliminate a permanent marker?

In our world there is no such thing that can not be defeated, overcome or washed, especially if you know about suitable means. So the ink of the permanent marker is not always characterized by reliability and resistance.

Important! In the event that the surface on which this type of marker was applied is not too loose, you will not be much difficulty eliminate almost all types of contamination left after using permanent markers.

Method first:

1. Take a good marker - dry.
2. Then check it on the surface area that is rarely striking to make sure how carefully it is erased. Before you begin to eliminate, let the ink dried over a few minutes.
3. Water a small piece of fabric in the already boiling soap solution, and then wash the trace that remained from the marker.
4. After that, with the help of a dry marker, swipe the contour on the trail from the marker you want to delete. Wait about 5 seconds - as long as the marker does not dry completely, because otherwise the line can smear.
5. Eliminate traces from the marker with a loud fabric or with the help of microfiber tissue. In this case, do not use paper towels.

Important! In the event that the stain from the marker is completely nonstable, you need to repeat the application and elimination of a dusty marker, possibly even 2-3 times, while going 2 times more effort to eliminate the stain.

Method of the second

To eliminate a permanent marker with a fairly smooth surface, you can also use the marker that is designed for a white board. This method is extremely simple, and the process of eliminating traces from the marker does not take a lot of time.

Important! You must be prepared for the fact that upon completion of the procedure, you must discard the cleansing felt-tip pen, because it will be already unsuitable for further use.

The "Mobile" network is presented in the network. This is one of the most sought-after graphic materials today. In terms of application, markers are classified:

All types of markers are represented in the mobile phone, but the most widely artistic.

Art markers

Artistic markers allow you to work with picturesque techniques and are used as artistic material for creating paintings and illustrations. Art markers can be operated on canvas, paper and other surfaces (the selection of the surface depends on the type of marker).

Art markers are represented in our network the following trademarks (TM):

Office, industrial and decorative markers

Permanent and washed ink - what is the difference?

By type ink, markers are divided into permanent and washed.

Permanent

Permanent ink unstained and resistant to moisture; They are most universal, written almost on any surface. The line applied by such a marker is homogeneous and does not spread. Wash such inks only with alcohol, plastic eraser or corrective marker. This category includes industrial markers. Ink in them can be alcohol and water based.

Some types of permanent markers in the series presents a special purpose marker - Remover. The composition of this marker allows you to dissolve just created the drawing and imperceptibly remove it from the surface.

Permanent Markers on alcohol basis Write on paper, rubber, skin, plastic, metal. The text written by a marker on an alcohol basis can be removed by any alcohol-containing composition or solvent. Such markers have a rather sharp smell and high drying speed, which makes it difficult for artistic purposes.

Permanent Markers water based Also written on any surfaces: paper, rubber, plastic, leather, glass, metal, but first of all they are designed for paper. Water markers retain all properties of permanent markers: bright colors, good shelterness, light, thermo- and water resistance. High resistance to drying ink guarantees at least a week of the expiration date of the open marker. Water-based ink is not blurred on paper, not toxic and no smell. They are more durable than alcohol markers.

Erasable

Erasablemarkers are used where you need to apply temporary labeling. For example, inscriptions on office boards.

Varnish markers

Permanent markers with a saturated pigment content leaving a dense glossy coating are often called varnish. Among other advantages, you can note the presence in their assortment of different metallic colors. They give an excellent brilliant coating, with success imitating real metal.

Office, industrial and decorative markers are presented in our network the following trademarks (TM):

• TM Edding, TM Faber-Castel, TM Stabilo. - These are markers for office, industrial and decorative.
• TM Bruynzeel-Sakura Presented a ruler of markers for calligraphy Calligrapher.

The design of markers

Markers are distinguished and constructive. If earlier the marker was a one-time tool, then markers appeared, which can be refilled. This is possible in two ways: constant ink refueling / acrylic paints (fill in the marker) or a replaceable cartridge. There are also Pump markers with ink swing system.

Pump markers

Ink feed is regulated by pressing the rod. Ink in such markers is much larger than in a conventional marker with a felt rod, and the storage time with an open cap is unlimited - only ink in the spout, which can be impregnated again.

The activation procedure is as follows: After opening the packaging, the marker must be thickened well, then turn up the tip and click on it (to compensate for pressure), then turn the tip down, gently pressing one or several times on the rod (but not knocking) while the paint is not paint it. Now the marker is ready for work.

The manufacturer usually indicates the labeling of their products about the need to activate such markers. As well as the fact that such markers should be stored horizontally.

Forms feathers

Tips vary in thickness (from 1 mm to 60 mm) and in form. It is from them that the form, thickness and general nature of the line depends. They can be replaceable. The most popular shapes of the tips are round, wedge-shaped and in the form of brushes. As a rule, they solve all artistic tasks. In the direction of Craft (hobby) there are many different forms of tips.

Round (pulum) - These are oval rods. They are well suited for fast sketches.

To create frames and strict graphic compositions, it is convenient to use plane tip markers. They are with a straight cut ( wedge-shaped) and s bevelled. They are well suited for font works and architectural pattern. Quite a bit different from them form feather for calligraphy.

Brush - This is an elongated round shape of the pen. The pen in this case is not rigid, but soft, flexible. Brush Marker - a wonderful tool for artwork

The thinnest markers with soft tips can be used in calligraphy, and with solid - when working on drawings.

The most "thick" markers are suitable for the overall pouring background, creating imitation of a varnish or gold coating, etc.

Also selling replaceable tips or feathers to markers. Tips can be cut through a sharp blade to create a variety of lines.

How many times do your drawing or records are interrupted by dry, rough grinding "deceased" marker? If it seems to you that your marker ended ahead of time, do not be afraid - "dead" markers, as a rule, can be returned to life (temporarily, at least) with one of several simple ways. Whether you use markers on a water basis, washed markers, or even permanent markers, often "returning them to life" is quite simple - just soak them within a few minutes.

Steps

Restoration of water-based markers

Pour about one cup of warm water in a bowl. If you have one or more dried markers on a water basis, try this simple trick to breathe life in them. Start with filling a small bowl warm or hot water. The dried tips of markers will absorb water, which will allow the inks again to flow freely.

• Please note that it is not necessary to use warm or hot water - cold water Also suitable. However, since the ink dissolve more in more hot waterThis usually happens faster.

1. Put the marker (s) into the water tips down. Remove the caps from your dried markers and lower them into the water so that the tips are completely immersed in water. Leave them to mock for about five minutes. Perhaps part of the ink will follow the tips of the markers into the water - this is normal.

   Close the markers caps when finished. It is worth leaving the marker without a cap, and he will certainly stop writing. Between applications, do not forget to wear the caps on the markers, which will help keep moisture in the tip and provide their long service.

   • If you lost the cap your marker, do not worry - you can use a small piece polyethylene film and rubber band as a temporary solution. You can make a more durable removable cap, wrapped a piece of tape around the marker tip (sticky side outside), then wrapped another piece of tape over the first (sticky side inside).

2. You can also use a few drops of vinegar. Other homework For dried markers on a water basis, includes the use of vinegar. You need to put markers tip down into a bowl and moisten the tip of each marker one or two drops of transparent white vinegar. Give markers to be soaked in a few minutes before drying, as described above. Do not dip the tips of the markers, as when using water, you have enough a few drops for each.

   • To use only a drop or two for each marker tip, fill the cover of the acetic bottle, and then with a small stick (like a spherula for the grill) or pipette, add vinegar to each marker dropped.

3. Injit water into the marker. As a last resort, to return the marker to life, use a long, sharp, thin needle (such as syringe for subcutaneous injections). For this method, fill in the syringe with water, then enter the needle directly through the tip into the marker body. Enter a small amount of water in the marker very slowly, allowing air to go through the tip during this process. Entering no more than one millilita (or so). After that, briefly put a marker on the old rag and let him dry before use (as indicated above).

   Restoration of washed markers

   1. Take the end of the marker with a long rope. In the washed markers, the same types of water ink are not used as in conventional drawing markers, therefore, to revive them with moisturizing tips, as a rule, will not work. Instead, try using those inks that remained inside the marker itself. To begin with, tie the long rope around the dried marker. Secure it with a durable adhesive tape.

      Remove the marker around your head like Lasso. Gently take the end of the rope in the hands and turn the marker in a circle above the head (as a lasso). The marker tip must be turned outward, not inside. Centrifugal force will push ink in the marker to the tip. Do it for about a minute or two before checking the marker.

      • Make sure that there is enough free space around you before you start waving the marker. Get a serious injury, rotating a marker, unlikely, however, there is a chance to break it or hurt someone, accidentally hit by a marker in the eye of a person, so take care of security.

   2. Move the tip using pliers. If the method with the rope never revived the marker, take the pliers and try this method. Take the soft tip of the washed marker of the pliers and pull it out. Many markers, the tip must come out without much effort. When you pull it out and if on the other hand the tip from the same soft material, try to flip and replace it. Most likely, immediately after that the marker will start writing. As soon as the ink is absorbed through the previously dried part of the tip, you can remove the tip and turn it back again.

      • Do not forget to put on gloves and protect your workplace Old rag while using this method. The likelihood that when using ink pliers shed, small, but it is better to cover with something with a working surface so that then it should not get rid of the labor-based spots.

   3. In the extreme case, buy ink. Although the methods listed above are effective, they will work, only if at least a little ink remains inside the marker. For washed markers, which are completely dried, - and the tip and the inner part - you will most likely need to purchase ink.

      Restoration of permanent markers

      1. Soak the dried tips of the markers in alcohol. Most permanent markers (for example, Sharpies) with dried tips can be revived by a way similar to the soaking of water-based markers. For this method, start from filling with a small container with alcohol. For example, you can use the lid from the bottle with alcohol.

         • You do not need a lot of alcohol - quite smoothly so much to immerse the tip of the marker (or markers). Fill out a whole bowl with alcohol (as in the case of water-based markers) simply makes no sense.

      2. Leave the markers to dry with closed covers. After soaking markers within a few minutes in alcohol, you will notice a small amount of ink in the liquid. Remove the markers from alcohol and put caps on them. Place their tip up to a glass or a mug, and leave for 24-48 hours. After that, if ink remained in the markers, they should write well again.

         Consider using alcohol residues as ink. If the alcohol in which you have soaked the tips of the markers, I absorbed a little ink, you can try to use it as paint if you have artistic projects. Alcohol paints are very effective for inert materials, such as metal, while other paints may be ineffective. For example, to make colored paper clips, just plunge them into the remaining alcohol, which you used to moisten the tips of color permanent markers.

      3. Enter alcohol or acetone inside the marker. As with water-based markers, sometimes you can give new life Dried to permanent marker by introducing fluid directly into it. However, in this case, it is not necessary to use water, but a solvent ink your marker. As a rule, it is the isopropyl alcohol (the same as medical alcohol) or acetone (active ingredient of lacquer removal fluid), so simply enter an approximately milliliter of one of these chemicals in the marker, as when working with water described above.

         • To find out what kind of liquid solvent is used for your ink, read the information on the package.
      • Do not leave markers without caps. In most cases, they continue to dry.
      • Open gloves when "reviving" markers. Ink can get to the skin, and it will be difficult to bring them.
      • Do not buy all markers of one manufacturer at once. Try different stamps and select the markers of which work longer.
      • Choose high-quality markers, even if they cost more. If you want markers to serve longer, buy them in a local store - not the most the best way. In addition, try to acquire such markers that will not dry without caps. In this case, if you and forget to put on the cap, then you will not have to buy new markers.
      • Do not buy several markers at once. They are different brands whose quality varies. Try multiple options and select the best.
      • Whatever the marker you use, try to miss his tip with water. Most likely, he will start writing.

      Warnings

      • These methods are not suitable for all markers. If the procedure for recovering the marker did not help, you may need to look for another way.
      • When using a method with a rope, make sure that the marker cap is secure. If there are holes on the cap, the ink can splash the whole room.
      • Do not write with markers on coarse surfaces, otherwise their tip is damaged.

Permanent marker has long been in life modern man. It is used literally on all industries and in everyday life. A permanent marker with appearance resembles a conventional thick felt-tip pen, but in contrast to it, the marker is resistant to various adverse external factors, such as moisture, sunlight, temperature drop.

In permanent markers, special inks are contained, which are easily and smoothly applied to any surface. It goes well on such surfaces as paper, plastic, metal, glass, film and wood. Ink enough for quite a long time and the marker can be used for several months in a row.

Like any other painting belonging, the permanent marker has its own filler. There are only two of them.

The first is the most popular - this is a alcohol filler. It is almost in any marker. Thanks to alcohol, which is contained in the marker fibers, the image is last saved on the surface. Fit the drawing or inscription can be exclusively with alcohol-containing solutions. Negative trait Alcohol filler in his unpleasant and sharp smell that do not like many.
The second filler is a water filler. Unlike the alcohol filler, the water does not smell. A drawing or an inscription, applied with a marker with aqueous filler, is not washed away. It is saved on the surface for a long time, does not fade and is not lubricated.

Permanent marker has a large number of shades. But the most popular and frequently used flowers remain blue, red, green and black. Colors are created using special pigments that are added to the marker fibers. The inscriptions of permanent markers are clear and bright. They do not lose color even with a scorching sunlight.
