At Cohas, we strive for customer satisfaction and a great user experience. That’s why, when you purchase a milestone or memory product, we provide a marker test sheet and full marker instructions. Most of our products come with Cohas brand markers, however some may be purchased without. The marker test allows you to use your own markers, and be sure they won’t stain or damage the board’s or banner’s surface!
Look for these marker test sheets inside each of our milestones and memories products.
About Your Markers
Included Cohas markers feature a reversible tip for varying line widths and writing styles. The tip has a 6mm chisel tip on one end and a 2mm rounded tip on the other. Simply pull tip straight out from barrel, flip over, and reinsert to change.
To prime, shake liquid chalk markers before removing cap. Remove cap and, holding marker upright, press tip straight down into barrel to relieve any built up pressure in barrel. Turn marker over and push down on scrap material until ink runs. Do not pump marker. Once ink is flowing, marker will be ready for use. Marker may need to be re-primed occasionally during use. Do not use dry marker on products. Do not prime directly on products. Store marker on its side when not in use.
