Your suggestions are appreciated, but in my case the T shirt wasn’t ever washed – it was meant to be a collectors item…the 4color image on the shirt must have had something in it that absorbed the shaprie ink…it just disappeared into the picture in about a year…

My 2 year old found a Sharpie and colored all over my couch! It has a stain guard on it, but everything I have tried has not worked! Any suggestions?????????

I had a vinyl pool stick case signed by a pro pool player. They used a silver Sharpie. How can I preserve the autograph?

Kerri – check out http://www.amodexink.com/8454.html. Should do the trick! I’ve been there myself. Ugh!

Bobkat,

Do you want to use the poolstick case or display/preserve it?

I have a similar question about a glossy poster that was autographed in black sharpie. It has been framed for the past 8 years or so under UV glass but the signature is fading. Any ideas how to prevent further fading without damaging the poster?
Thanks!

working on getting you an answer…

Greatings,

I have been a loyal Sharpie ultra fine point user since college in the late 70’s. I am now involved with a major project involving journals and using the ultra fine point marker with my promotion, I recently placed an order of over 1500 pieces to find out that I now have to order 10,000 pieces due to your company longer offering this product for promotional marketing. I need to know why and get options. If the same marker is being sold at retail, why is this a special order at such a high number when the only change is an imprint?

Is the Sharpie Pen ever going to come out in more colors? If so, when and which ones?

They’ll be out at back-to-school time this year. Two new colors – orange and purple joining black, red, blue and green. Hope you like them!

Wow! Excellent color choices. I can’t wait!
Thank you for your reply.

I have been doing a lot of research about how to get Sharpie colors, including writing and phoning Sharpie, among other places. Is there any plan to ever come out with a full set of all the different colors? I know there’s a market for it, as my online research showed other people asking the question but no one answering it!

While we do make a 24-pack most often found at club stores (i.e. Sam’s), your best bet for picking up all the colors is Office Depot. Office Depot has what we can an “open stock” display of Sharpies, meaning you can pick and choose the colors you want – or buy them all! Hope this helps.

There are also 29-packs and 30-packs, if you look around, and believe me I have. But that’s all in the US. Are there any plans to release them into the wild, i.e., the rest of the world? Because I’m in London.
Not that I’m eager or anything…

i left my sharpie out with the top off and it dried out is there any way i can get it to work agin

If a marker is left uncapped the only thing you can try is to recap it immediately and let it sit for 48 hours to see if the ink rejuvenates itself. If not, unfortunately the marker is completely dried out. Fingers crossed!

my daughter decorated a pair of converse with sharpie, and just loves them. although she does not wear them in the rain, some of the colors are slightly bleeding. what can we do to set them?

Drop them in a hot dryer for several tumbles. No guarantees but should help!

This weekend I had a celebrity musician sign the head of my banjo with a black Sharpie. (gosh, am I most fortunate on this one)

The signature is in a place where it will receive some wear from my hand. What do you suggest I do to preserve and protect this most valuable archive?

Thank you,

Joe Ray

I LOVE SHARPIES..have doezens of them everywhere in my bags, desk , drawers, closet you name it i have one in there….but i wanted to expiriment with tattooing….i cannot see,to get it to stay on!! Washed right off with soap and water

I was wondering is there a trick to getting it to be semi perm on your skin so that is does NOT transfer to sheets, sleeves, LEATHER SOFA (white Italian leather to be exact-oh that was almost a relationship ruined with my boyfriend..LOL) and other stuff. ALl i had to do was rub with some soap and water and it came off…I want something i can shower with that UNLESS i use soap or acetone or something like that-it stays on.

GOt any ideas how to make sharpie do that???

My son had a football helmet that the Chicago Bears autographed for him after a practice one day. Problem is, his dad brought the BLACK Sharpie paint marker instead of the WHITE (helmet is dark blue). Is there any way to make the black paint marker signatures lighter? I know you can use dry erase markers to get Sharpie off things, wondered if the black can be changed.

I’m getting a black football helmet autographed. I want to use purple for the Ravens colors so I bought a purple paint sharpie pen. Will this be ok and how do I make sure the autograph stays fresh????
