GENERAL

How many colors make up the OLO color palette?

The initial OLO color palette features 160 vibrant, beautiful hues that span the color spectrum with an assortment of gray to allow for color range extension and depth.

Can I purchase OLO Connector Rings individually?

One OLO Connector Ring is complimentary with every two half-markers purchased. Additional Connector Rings in various colors can be bought in packs of 10 at olomarker.eu.

Why are the OLO™ marker bodies different colors?

The marker bodies are usually offered in black and dark gray to help the artist quickly identify the marker nib. Brush nib markers are offered in a black marker body, and chisel nibs are offered in a dark gray marker body. The OLO ZERO (colorless solution) is available in a white marker body.

Can I use an OLO chisel nib in a black OLO brush marker body?

Marker bodies are color-coded for quick nib identification, but all OLO nib styles work with all OLO Replacement Ink Cartridges.

Will the OLO handle work with any OLO™ marker?

Yes! OLO handles are designed to work with Connector Rings and any OLO™ marker body. Experience a new way to color with an OLO handle.

What is the recommended paper for use with OLO™ markers?

Many papers will work well: marker paper, various paper stocks, drawing paper, and watercolor paper. However, we recommend papers with a smooth, uncoated finish for most color applications that allow for beautiful ink blending and minimal ink spread.

Do OLO™ markers hold as much ink as other markers?

OLO™ markers hold more ink than traditional alcohol markers! An OLO double-ended marker contains 4ml of ink—nearly two times more usable ink than any other alcohol marker.

How do I store my OLO™ markers?

OLO may be stored vertical or horizontal. Choose the orientation that works best for your workspace and needs.

What is OLO ZERO?

AKA The Blender. Calling a colorless blender a “blender” is misleading as it does not allow for traditional blending techniques. The importance of this marker is in the absence of color, hence the name ZERO. Use ZERO with OLO to dilute color, add texture or minimize mistakes.

Are OLO™ markers lightfast?

No, alcohol markers are not lightfast. We recommend keeping your artwork out of direct sunlight when possible.

Where are OLO™ markers made?

OLO™ markers are manufactured in Japan.

REPLACEMENT CARTRIDGES

Are OLO™ markers refillable?

No. Simply purchase a new cartridge when your OLO marker runs out of ink. Then, remove and reuse the nib and cap from your used marker and insert them into the new cartridge. That's it! No mess, no blob, no overfilling, and no clean-up.

Is there a tool to pull out the nibs?

A specific tool is not needed for OLO nibs. A regular pair of tweezers- or your hands- should work just fine.

Will the ink pour or drip when replacing the nib?

No, there should be no drips or spills when replacing the ink cartridge.

Are the OLO replacement cartridges recyclable?

Not currently. We are currently working on ways to minimize this issue.
