Dry erase markers are a very practical office supply, widely used in education, business, and home. It has the characteristics of clear writing and easy wiping, but if it is not properly maintained and stored, it will shorten the life of the marker or even make it unable to work properly. Therefore, the correct maintenance and storage methods are very important to extend the life of the marker.
Before we delve into the maintenance and storage methods, we first need to understand the basic characteristics of dry erase markers. Dry erase markers usually use a special ink formula that can be quickly dried on specific materials and easily removed by wiping. Its core advantages are rewritability and easy cleaning, which makes them particularly popular on reusable writing surfaces such as whiteboards.
1. Maintenance methods of dry erase markers
Correct use
Avoid cross-use: Dry erase markers of different brands may use different ink formulas, and cross-use may cause ink reactions and affect writing effects.
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.
Check the ink level: Check the ink level regularly, and replace or refill the ink in time to avoid damage to the pen tip caused by empty writing.
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.
Avoid falling: The pen tip of the dry erase marker is relatively fine, and falling may cause deformation or damage.
2. Storage method of dry erase markers
Environmental requirements
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.
Avoid contact with harmful substances
Keep away from chemicals: When storing dry erase markers, avoid storing them together with chemicals such as solvents and alcohol, which may damage the pen body and ink.
