How to use

To use the Markal Dura-Ink 55, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from loose debris or heavy oils. Remove the cap and press the tip firmly against the surface to initiate ink flow if necessary. Apply steady pressure while moving the marker to achieve the desired line width. Always replace the cap securely after use to prevent the ink from drying out and to maintain the longevity of the tip.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the compatibility of the ink with your specific substrate material
• Ensure the required line width matches your marking needs
• Consider the environmental conditions of your workspace

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, store the marker in a horizontal position when not in use to keep the tip properly saturated with ink. If the tip becomes dry, store it with the cap facing downward for a short period to restore flow.
