FAQs
1) Product
Q1: What type of ink do NICETY markers use? Are they non-toxic?
NICETY markers use water-based acrylic ink with low odor and strong coverage. Materials and production follow international art/toy safety standards (e.g., EN71 / ASTM D-4236). See the product page for batch-specific labels.
Q2: Which surfaces do they work on?
Rock, wood, glass, ceramics, metal, canvas, paper, and certain plastics.
For slick plastics, lightly sanding or using a primer may help.
Seal with a clear varnish for outdoor or glossy surfaces.
Q3: Are they waterproof and fade-resistant?
Once dry, NICETY markers provide good water and light resistance.
Apply a clear sealant for longer durability on high-touch surfaces.
Q4: Can I use them on mugs or plates? Are they dishwasher-safe?
Suitable for decorative use. Allow full curing and seal as recommended.
Dishwashers and frequent washing will reduce durability.
Avoid direct contact with food-touch surfaces.
Q5: Are they suitable for kids?
Yes, with adult supervision.
Keep markers and small parts away from children under 3.
Q6: Do you offer replaceable nibs or refills?
Some series support replaceable nibs; refill availability varies by model.
Check the product page.
Q7: Will the color differ from what I see on screen?
Minor variations are normal due to screen differences and material absorption.
Test on a small area of your surface first.
2) Use & Care
Q8: How do I activate a new marker?
Shake well with the cap on, then prime on scrap paper 5–10 times until ink flows.
Re-shake after long pauses.
Q9: What if the ink skips or looks pale?
Shake again → prime on scrap paper → slow your strokes.
Clean or replace the nib if needed.
Q10: Tips for better adhesion on glass or metal?
Clean the surface with an alcohol wipe, let it dry fully, then paint.
Seal after the paint cures.
Q11: How do I fix a clogged nib?
Remove the nib, rinse briefly with lukewarm water, blot dry, reinsert, and prime.
Replace worn nibs when needed.
Q12: How should I store markers to prevent drying?
Cap tightly after use.
Store at room temperature away from heat or cold.
Shake markers every few weeks if idle.
Q13: How do I clean stains on clothes or desks?
Wipe wet paint with water and mild detergent.
Fully dried paint is harder to remove — use a protective mat.
