I guess I never thought about what type of ink they were and assumed they were water based ink like my Tombows.<br />I store my markers horizontally. I'll have to remember your tip when one of them starts to get dry. I usually am using the larger end.<br />I guess we'd see if someone else is reading our comments if you ask the question at the workshop and see how many know the answer. 8-)Alycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03455850163884657874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9190979569332239219.post-83856542486861886822012-03-08T06:50:08.418-06:002012-03-08T06:50:08.418-06:00that's good to know.
the zig markers i use are...that's good to know.<br />the zig markers i use are not water base.<br />i'll tell you the trick now.<br />you turn the nib over.<br />as the ink is used up on one side, there is more on the top<br />which you can get to by turning it over.<br />this only works for a while.<br />eventually, the whole marker is dry <br />and you do have to throw it away.<br />you can also get more ink out of it by storing it standing on one end.<br />you have to choose which nib you want to get the extended use out of.<br />i usually put making tape around the end i don't want to use any more<br />so that i don't keep checking that end.<br />thanks for participating in the guess.<br />i wonder if anyone else goes back to read the string of comments?jean wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10380435791596841268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9190979569332239219.post-1808546328106160592012-03-07T20:55:36.911-06:002012-03-07T20:55:36.911-06:00I guess that means I was wrong. 8-)
