FlexMarkers FAQ
Q. How do I prime my FlexMarkers?
A. On first use, some of the lighter colours in FlexMarker may need to be 'primed'. Just colour on a scrap piece of paper using circular motions until the colour is fully pulled through the brush. This is normal for this type of brush nib, and will only need to be done once.
Q. My FlexMarker colours seem very light, is this normal?
A. The FlexMarker 6 sets contain very light, muted shades that are ideal for subtle blending techniques and diffusing your colours into the background. If the colours seem unusually light, you may need to prime the marker (see above).
Q. Which FlexMarker colours are not available in ProMarker?
A. There are 51 colours in FlexMarker that are not available in ProMarker, making FlexMarker a great way to increase your colour collection. Each of these 51 colours is marked with a * on the FlexMarker colour chart. The colour chart can be found by downloading the information sheet
Q. Can I use FlexMarker with my ProMarkers / Tria Markers?
A. FlexMarkers contain exactly the same high quality, alcohol based ink that you find in ProMarker and Tria, so all three markers will work perfectly side by side.
Q. Are FlexMarkers available to buy individually?
A. FlexMarkers are currently available in a range of 6 Sets and will be made available individually as the colour range increases. Letraset also plan to release a series of new 12 Sets.
Q. What type of ink should I use for rubber stamped images when colouring with FlexMarkers?
A. When using any alcohol marker (FlexMarker, ProMarker, Tria ), you should always used a water based ink to stamp your image. Other solvent based inks will blend and merge with your FlexMarker causing unsightly smudging and bleeding. We find Memento is the best ink pad to use when stamping and colouring in using alchol inks
Q. Is there a FlexMarker colour chart?
A. Yes. There is a coloured FlexMarker chart - download the information sheet.
