1. Click the top button once to extend the nib. 2. Use on paper, cardstock, or planner pages. The water-based ink dries quickly to prevent smudging. 3. Click the top button again to retract the nib and seal it, preventing the marker from drying out. For best results, store horizontally. Timeline Expectations: Week 1: Experience smooth, skip-free lines and immediate, vibrant color payoff from the first stroke. Week 2-3: Notice the consistent performance; colors remain just as bright and the nib stays firm, with no fraying or mushiness, even with daily use. Week 4+: Enjoy the long-term reliability. The retractable seal keeps every marker ready to use, eliminating the waste and frustration of dried-out art supplies.

Zebra, founded in 1897 in Tokyo, created the Clickart line to solve the frustration artists and professionals face with dried-out markers and inconsistent color flow. In a world where creative flow is constantly interrupted by modern stress and tight deadlines, Zebra's engineers developed a water-based, retractable formula that performs reliably every time. Each pigment is selected for its purity and vibrancy, then tested in Zebra's own GMP-certified facilities in Japan to ensure perfect color payoff and zero bleed-through. This commitment to precision has made the Clickart set a top-ranked choice in Japan's professional art supply category for over a decade, trusted by illustrators, planners, and designers who refuse to compromise on their tools.

The Zebra Clickart Retractable Water-Based Marker Set - 36 Vibrant Colors is formulated with water-based ink, which primarily consists of water as the solvent, along with pigments or dyes for color vibrancy, and additives such as surfactants, humectants, and preservatives. Water serves as the eco-friendly, low-odor base that allows for smooth application and easy cleanup, while the pigments or dyes provide the rich, vivid hues that make this set ideal for artistic projects, note-taking, and presentations. Surfactants are included to enhance ink flow and prevent clogging in the retractable tips, ensuring consistent performance and longevity. Humectants, like glycerin, help retain moisture to prevent the markers from drying out quickly, even when the caps are left off briefly. Preservatives inhibit microbial growth, maintaining the ink's quality and safety over time. This combination results in a user-friendly product that offers vibrant, blendable colors without the strong fumes or permanent stains associated with solvent-based markers, making it suitable for children, students, and professionals seeking a versatile, non-toxic option for creative and everyday use.
