• Pro Tips

  Marker Lock Collar

  • Before inserting marker, make sure locking ring is turned fully counterclockwise.
  • Gently drop marker with tip facing straight down into the locking ring.
  • Do not push or press down on marker, let gravity do the work!

  Optimal Spray Duration

  • Press trigger all the way down for full color spray.
  • Pump the Piston Handle 20-25 times with the Air Tank facing down for optimal spray time.
  • Focus on filling in 1 of 3" x 3" Stencils with each spray session.

  Marker not spraying?

  • If the marker spray has weakened or stopped, give it some extra pumps and test it out on scrap paper.
  • Try switching out the maker color for another one.
  • Place markers cap down & give them time for color to flow back into the tip.

  Stencils

  • Stencil edges can be used to create fun patterns.
  • Use stencils on top of line art to enhance details.
  • Save some details to be colored in with the included markers!

  Compatible Markers

  • Do not use Skinny/Fine Line Markers & avoid Bold Colors.
  • For best results use the included markers, Classic Crayola Pip Squeaks or Broad Line Markers.

  Storage & Cleaning

  • Wipe stencils clean before storing them.
  • When switching colors, wipe away ink residue on sprayer nozzle to avoid unintended color mixing.
  • Recharge markers by storing them cap downwards to naturally re-wick them with color!
  • Avoid using the same marker for more than 3 repetitive sprays, as ink needs time to re-wick.

FAQ

• Do you offer helpful tips for using the Air Marker Sprayer?

  Try these troubleshooting tips to get your Air Marker Sprayer working!

  Did your unit turn on? If not…

  • Make sure the nozzle collar is unscrewed (counter-clockwise) all the way. Holding the nozzle vertically, let the uncapped marker fall into place. No need to apply pressure! Screw collar until tight (clock-wise). Push the power button to turn unit on. Using a scrap sheet of paper, aim the nozzle and start creating!

  Did ink spray out? If not, check the following…

  • Make sure the unit is turning on, you should be able to hear it!
  • Make sure there is air flow out of the nozzle.
  • Make sure the nib of the marker is not deformed, we recommend using a new marker.
  • Once these are all checked, turn your unit off and reload marker into the nozzle (tips above).

  Did ink spray or just bubble/drip out of the tip? If so…

  • Leave the collar locked, twist and pull back on the marker until spray is acceptable. Always making sure to have a new marker!

  For Best Results:

  • To decrease your unit from moving across the table, place it on textured/soft surface, like a place mat!
  • Your unit was just working a second ago? With the unit turned on, squeeze the trigger. This should alleviate the pressure and the motor should start up!

• Can Crayola markers be recycled?

  Because Crayola Marker components are securely sealed during the manufacturing process, we don’t recommend trying to remove the marker nib and reservoir to recycle the barrel. The marker caps can be recycled at facilities that accept #5 plastic.

• How are Crayola Markers made?

  Crayola® Markers are made with six components consisting of: a color solution, a porous plastic nib, a plastic barrel, a cotton filament (ink reservoir), an end plug, and a cap. Although specific ingredient information is proprietary, most of the color solutions in Crayola Markers are made from water and dyes. Below is the process we follow to make Crayola Markers.

   

  1. Tiny beads of plastic are fed into a molding machine where they are melted and then molded into marker barrels. The liquid plastic becomes solid, white marker barrels in a matter of seconds. 

  2. Any extra plastic from the molding process goes back into the molding machine to make new marker barrels. 

  3. The marker barrels are screen printed with the Crayola brand name and most with the color name of the marker. The process is like screen printing t-shirts, where the ink colors pass through a pre-made screen onto the printing surface. Up to 6 distinct colors can be used to decorate the marker barrel at one time! The ink dries quickly as the marker barrel passes through a drying tunnel. 

  4. The assembly machine lines up the marker barrels in the same direction as they move along a conveyor belt. The end plug and ink reservoir are inserted into the marker barrel, and the color solution is injected into the soft reservoir. The marker nib, or drawing tip, is added to the open end of the marker, followed by the cap. It takes a minute or two for the ink to travel up from the reservoir to color the nib, so the marker is ready to write! 

  5. The finished markers are placed in a sorter - a machine with separate sections for the assorted colors. A chute drops one marker of each color onto a conveyor belt, creating the colorful assortment that will fill the marker box. 

  6. A robotic arm opens the flat marker boxes and sends them down the conveyor belt. Another robotic arm pushes the markers into the boxes and closes them. After the assembled markers are packed in large cartons, they are ready to be shipped to stores.

• What dyes are used in Crayola Markers?

  The basic ingredients in Crayola® Markers are water and dye. A common experiment is to use paper chromatography to separate the dyes. When performing this experiment, you will find that not all Crayola Marker colors separate into different colors due to the nature of dyes utilized in creating marker colors. (Brown, violet and green markers work best). For example, only one dye is used to make our red color marker, but a number of dyes are used to make our brown color marker. In a chromatography experiment, the brown will separate into different colors; however, the red will not. A craft involving chromatography is available on our web site at chromatography craft.
