Use moderate force: There is no need to apply excessive pressure when writing, which may cause damage to the pen tip or ink leakage.

Regular cleaning

Protect the pen tip: After use, make sure to put the pen cap back on to prevent the pen tip from drying out or getting damaged.

Pen body cleaning: Wipe the pen body with a soft cloth regularly to remove dust and stains to avoid ink clogging.

Ink management

Avoid long-term exposure: When not in use for a long time, dry erase markers should be stored in a cool and dry place to avoid high temperatures and direct light that may cause the ink to evaporate.

Pen tip maintenance

Replace the pen tip: If the pen tip is worn or damaged, it should be replaced in time to keep writing smooth.

Temperature and humidity: The environment for storing dry erase markers should maintain a suitable temperature (15-25℃) and relative humidity (50%-70%). Extreme environmental conditions will affect the stability of the ink and the integrity of the pen tip.

Avoid light: Direct sunlight or strong ultraviolet rays will accelerate the evaporation of ink and may even cause the ink to change color.

Storage method

Store vertically: Dry erase markers should be stored vertically to avoid ink gathering at the tip of the pen when placed horizontally, causing leakage or corrosion of the tip.

Classification management: Classify and store according to ink color and pen size to facilitate finding and use, while avoiding cross-contamination between different inks.

Long-term storage

Regular inspection: Even if it has not been used for a long time, the status of the dry erase marker should be checked regularly to ensure that it has not dried up or damaged.

Anti-drying care: For dry erase markers stored for a long time, you can consider applying a small amount of lubricant to the tip of the pen to prevent drying.
