Product FAQ
How to activate markers?
Artistro paint pens require a few steps to get them ready for use. Note: Artistro markers include instructions on the pens themselves, inside the box, and on the box of the markers too. Let’s start today’s marker tutorial!
✔️ Step 1: Shake the marker well to ensure the paint is thoroughly mixed. Always shake the pen before using - especially if it wasn’t used for a while.
✔️ Step 2: Remove the cap, use it to press slightly on the tip to let the air out. Start pumping the tip this way it activates the pen into the paint itself. As you press down the paint will make its way to the tip. Be patient! Once the tip is in color and you can draw a line without breaking up - it’s ready for use!
✔️ Step 3: We strongly recommend you to test the ink on a piece of paper first before starting your project to ensure the ink runs smoothly.
Adhere to recommendations and drawing + using paint markers will always be an easy and enjoyable process!
What are the best surfaces to use your paint pens on?
Artistro paint pens work on almost any surface: rocks, ceramic, glass, metal, plastic, vinyl, wood, fabric, canvas, paper, pumpkins, leaves, denim and etc.
How to store paint pens?
Ideally Artistro Markers should be stored horizontally as this makes re-mixing the color inside the marker easier between uses. Avoid storing them vertically with the nib facing down as dense pigments will collect at the valve, making them susceptible to clogging and re-agitation more difficult.
What are the sizes of the tips?
The range of the tips varies: the extra-fine tip is 0.7mm-1mm, the fine tip is 1mm-2mm, the medium tip is 2mm-3 mm.
How to fix the paint on fabric?
How to paint on a T-shirt/fabric and make permanent marker design:
✔️ Step 1: Wash to remove any shrinking. Even if the label on your fabric says "pre-shrunk," it would still be a good idea to wash it.
✔️ Step 2: Place a piece of cardboard inside the fabric. It should be about the same size as the fabric. You can also use a folded up newspaper, an old magazine or catalog.
✔️ Step 3: After the paint is completely dry (at least 24 hours), you need to heat set it for permanency and washability.
✔️ Step 4: Most fabrics can be heat set using an iron on medium or high heat (without steam) for 3-5 minutes. Use a cotton piece of cloth between iron and T-Shirt/fabric.
✔️ Step 5: Wash the T-Shirt/fabric 3 days after applying paint (cold water, hand wash preferably). This will remove any potential shrinking and starch. It will make the paint stick to the shirt better.
Use a spray sealant to seal sneakers and shoes. Let your design dry completely before applying.
Can you wash the fabric with a painted design in a washing machine?
We advise hand washing in cold water.
How to cure paint on ceramic and glass?
How to paint a mug with acrylic paint step by step:
✔️ Step 1: Choose a workplace and cover it with a newspaper.
✔️ Step 2: Make a design on the ceramic mug with a pencil. You can customize the mug with the picture or with the quote. For dark surfaces choose gold, silver, or white colors.
✔️ Step 3: After fully dry (at least 24 hours), place your project into a cold oven; Turn oven to 350 ̊F (180 ̊C);
Set a timer for 1 hour; After one hour open the oven; Let the project cool down completely inside the oven.
✔️ Step 4: Hand-washing in warm water is the best option to wash the surface. We do not recommend using a dishwasher or a heavy-duty sponge.
What’s the difference between acrylic and oil-based paint pens?
The simplest answer will be the drying time difference. Water-based markers dry fast where oil is not. Also, oil-based markers dry permanently, where water-based dry only water-resistant, thus to make them permanent you have to seal or bake the project depending on the material.
How to blend markers?
For making the gradient you will need two paint pens in different colors, a paintbrush, and a cup with water. Paint the half of the surface with one color. Take one marker and squeeze out a little paint, then take a different color and also squeeze the paint. Blend it with the wet brush. You need to act quickly because the acrylic paint dries fast. Continue to paint till you get the final result. Artistro markers are based on acrylic ink, that's why they work well with water.
How to remove marker from rocks and ceramic?
Removing permanent marker from such surfaces as rocks and ceramics is easier than you think, use a solvent or nail polish remover and a cotton pad to get the marker off.
Enjoy this small trick and don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Practice makes it perfect!
How to clean nibs?
To clean the tips of acrylic paint pens, you can run warm water for a minute to wash off any excess paint, or can use a piece of paper towel to clean. Rubbing alcohol can also be used to clean the tips of both the acrylic & oil-based nibs.
Do markers have a smell?
No, the markers are odor-free.
Are these markers refillable?
No, the markers are non-refillable.
Are these paint pens waterproof?
Yes, these paint pens are waterproof.
Does paint wash off hands?
Yes, the acrylic paint is water-based paint and comes off with water.
Are these markers food safe?
To claim markers food safe they should have FDA approval. Those markers have not been sent to FDA for this request. We do not recommend using markers in contact with food.
Are the markers dishwasher safe?
We do not recommend to put the project in the dishwasher, because of high water temperature. It might not be dishwasher safe. But it is water-resistant, when glass, porcelain, and ceramic projects are properly cured. Just use warm water to wash mugs or cups, it will be safe for design.
How long should I wait for the rocks to dry before applying the sealant?
Please, wait up to several hours until the paint is completely dry.
Do the markers bleed through paper?
It depends on how thin the paper is, and if the paint markers are acrylics or oil-based.
The paint will not flow even after activating and priming. What to do?
Possible Solution:
A. You can try detaching tips and reattaching and tips and try to prime again. Pressing down on the tip in a pumping motion until there is a consistent flow of paint.
B. You can place tips of pens under running warm water for a minute or 2 remove, wipe the water off and prime and use. Please note that 1 paint pen can activate quicker than another.
What to do if the paint bleeds on a certain type of surface (wood/rock)?
You can lightly seal the surface you are working on prior to starting a project, this will create a smooth enough surface and will limit the likeliness of the paint bleeding. When working on rough surfaces, it’s best to go slow especially if you are using extra-fine tip paint pens.
The marker seems watery, what to do?
This could be caused by the pigment settling inside the pens and shaking alone will not help. You can try giving pens a few light taps on a hard surface to help break pigment up for it to be mixed in properly with the liquid agent in pens. At all times, there should be a ball inside each pen that is there to help with the mixing of the paint. If that ball is not heard, then that paint pen is more or likely defective.
The paint is not staying on the surface of ceramic/glass even after baking.
You will need to increase the temperature of the oven and make sure that the paint has dried properly before placing it into the cold oven to bake.

Currently this is the only thing I have that we used the paint pens on. We love Artistro paint pens. It's the only kind we buy. Colors are pretty and paint flos smoothly from pens. We will purchase again.
These pens are extra fine tipped, and very easy to use. The paint is very opaque, so doesn't need a bunch of coats to get the look you need. As a novice rock painter, I really appreciate the value and ease of use!
My connect group painted umbrellas! I'm very picky about supplies and wanted every thing perfect for them. They used theses pens to write messages, scriptures and inspirational thoughts. These pens worked well! I wish they came packaged in more colors though. But they were great and achieved the purpose in which I had planned!
The overall quality of the Artistro silver & gold markers are excellent. The marker casing is sturdy & comfortable in my hands. The marker paint flows easily. The gold & silver paints are really shiny, very pretty. There is a little bit of odor but nothing I can’t tolerate. Overall, excellent quality markers. I will definitely be adding to my Artistro Paint Marker collection!
My review: I LOVE these markers! They arrived yesterday (very fast through Amazon Prime). I have tested them out and think the overall quality is excellent! These metallics have a nice shine without a terrible odor (most oil based markers have a headache-inducing smell). Not these! The packaging is nice and professional-looking. These are reminiscent of something that would be sold on the shelves in a Michaels store. In my spare time, I paint Christmas ornaments. They work excellent on glass bulbs! I also tried them on wood and canvas! I prefer Artistro to Posca markers (in terms of both quality and price). My only wish is that the “metallics” would come in more colors. I would definitely buy a full spectrum set of metallic colors (if they came in metallic red, orange, green, blue, copper, etc). I also use the Michaels craftsmart brand of paint markers, which are similar in quality (and a bit lower in price than Artistro). However, I prefer Artistro for fine details because they have smaller tips. They also have a nice flow. They occasionally clog, but can easily be cleared by pumping the tip on a scrap piece of paper. They are rich in color/pigment! I only wish there were more metallic colors to try!
I used these pens for detail work on my painted rocks. I loved that the paint went on smoothly and was on the thicker side. It had complete coverage in one coat. The gold is a very pretty shade. I did notice that the silver had a slight odor to it. They are definitely worth the money, and I would purchase again
Oh my goodness, I just unboxed my Artistro gold and silver oil based paint pens and already love love love them. I tested the pens on a few of my art pieces and that gold is solid and bright and better than I’d hoped for. I’m so happy with the pure gold color these pens lay down with no streaks or weak spots or oil seeping. My photos don’t do justice to the gold shine and lustre Ive never had these kinds of results with the other brands I’ve tried. Artistro really knocked it out of the park with this pen set. Beautiful quality for a very reasonable price.
I tried these out on a new rock and to touch up some existing rock paintings. These are fun to use for a few reasons:-Excellent pigment and coverage. No need to go over several times like some water-based ink colors-Very shiny, convincing metallic finish-Flows easy (sometimes too easy - practice to avoid blow-outs!)The photos don't do it justice. It's really metallic. It almost looks like you applied a foil finish. I kept wanting to find more applications for these markers because the finish and the application is very satisfying.
These are excellent quality oil based extra fine markers. They come packaged very well and would resist drying out before first use because each marker is also shrink wrapped individually inside the box.I am a rock painter so I tried them out on one that was acrylic base coated with black. As the pictures will show the pigment is very dense, yet flows pretty smooth. There was no over flow so fine lines turned out in one try. You may want a second coat if your surface is porous, but honestly I am happy with the one coat. I like these markers better than Posco, and I have tried both. Posco does not last as long, or have as dense a coverage, so it takes more coats. Also the other markers don’t seem to last as long. Artistro markers require a good shaking before each time using, to keep the rich pigment mixed, but that is true of any rich pigment marker. I would recommend these to anyone looking for oil based extra-fine markers!
These markers are great. I have a bit of an issue with our substitute mail carriers not wanting to put on mail in the correct slots. After taking these magical permanent paint pens outside to my mailbox you can see the words and arrows written all over the mailbox from the street. I don't think I'll have to worry about the mail carrier not knowing where to put our magazines and newspapers or our bills and other smaller envelopes anymore. I used the silver metallic color on the black metal mailbox and it looks so clear and beautiful. It was so smooth to draw with even on a bumpy surface. The paint pen didn't run dry or stop writing for me and I was able to easily trace over my previous letters without it smudging since it's also quick drying. Its also stormed a few times since then and the sun hits our porch directly for a few hours in the day but it still has yet to fade or run. These were a smart and crafty investment that I look forward to continuing to use for a long time.
