In March, it was announced that the Woodcraft waterproof markers were being reintroduced as the Acrylista marker line.  At this time, we also learned that some colors were being discontinued. Due to a large customer uproar, the manufacturer agreed to a limited distribution of the discontinued colors in the 6mm and 15mm Woodcraft line. Because many of our chalkboard artists “love all of the Woodcraft colors and honestly wish there were more!” this comes as great news.

Therefore, we can once again offer chalkboard artists the variety of colors they need. The Cohas color collection of waterproof chalk markers have become very popular with chalkboard artists at grocery stores, restaurants, bakeries, and breweries. As a result, artists can choose from a blend of colors like Wild Rose, Forest Green, Golden Yarrow, Honeysuckle, Salsa Verde, and Victorian Blue. As a result, the continued production of these markers means chalkboard artists will now have a wide selection of colors to create realistic portrayals of fruits, vegetables and other graphics.

Help your products sell with these versatile, waterproof and easy to use markers! Zig Posterman markers help you create unique and eye-catching professional chalkboard signs for your business that are sure to draw customers in. Signs can be as simple or complex as you’d like, just follow these easy instructions!

Simple Steps to Professional Chalkboard Signs

  1. Plan your sign. Take some time before drawing with the markers to plan what your sign will say. Also imagine what images you might like to include. Simply sketching in pencil on the sign can help you get a feel of how your finished sign will look, while ensuring letter sizes, spacing and design are symmetrical.
  2. Plan which markers you will use. This will allow you to decide if letters, numbers or designs should be thick and bold, or simple and slim.
  3. Prepare the markers. Shake the markers for about one minute each, then press the tip of the marker against a hard surface, to bring the color to the tip of the marker.
  4. Start simple. Begin writing the letters and numbers on the sign, creating the basic outlines. You can add more details once the general design of the sign is completed.
  5. Create your images. If you’re going to add pictures to the sign, start with the basics. Draw the outlines and shapes of the images, then add more details as the design takes shape.
  6. Remember to add small details. If you’re writing on a blackboard, create a simple outline of the letters in white. If you’re creating a sign related to the winter season, add dots of white for snow or sprigs of holly berry.
  7. Don’t worry if you make an error along with way. Simply wipe off the marker before it dries, or use a dab of cleaner on a paper towel to erase errors.
