wrap a rubberband around the cap until its on tight. It gives you something none slippery to grip and then the caps come off easier

Wow, that really works :-)

Such a simple idea too, thanks mudflinginfools.

Spoils the look of my expensive markers, but well worth it for the ease with which they come off now.

YT - Still with inky fingers!

You're welcome... I play with markers all day at work... switching colors on and off... this keeps me from getting too inky... and I no longer have to use my teeth on markers shared with others.... yucky!

: )

I like the little bag you can get with the pip squeaks... I took the notepad out and put in my 4x6 index cards that I use for my logbook, then I put all the fat markers in one zipper side, and the thin markers and a small tin with my siggy stamp in the other zipper side...and it's really easy to grab in my boxing bag, or even to slip into a fany pack for urban boxing

Marvy Markers are great!! However, when you are stamping 50 images, ink runs out fast! I just bought my good markers a couple of months ago (before I stamped 50 state birds and 50 state flowers) and I've already almost run out of ink on several. For cost effectiveness, Crayola would do the job. Save your Marvy Markers for your letterboxing.
Now if money is were never an obstacle, then I would use my Marvys all the time!!!

A few months ago there was a discussion of bringing dry markers back to life. I have never used Marvy Markers, so I don't know if this technique works on them, but it might be worth a shot
