Touch Up Markers/Ink for Solvent Banners?

[CWP]

Hi All,
I have a banner (or two) that sometimes when handling it will crimp after it has been printed and screws up the image. Nothing major, but it does show up. Instead of reprinting and wasting time and materials, I am trying to find some sort of markers, pens, inks or something that I can use to touch up the image and hide the defect. I have done this for years on photos but am not sure what to use for banner material with solvent inks. Has anyone found a good solution to this? A brand of markers or pens? Thanks.

Sharpies. Get the package with 24 colors. Saved our bacon a number of times.

a large selection of markers in a wide range of colors & nibs is a must have on hand tool imo.

sharpies as well as decocolor paint pens have served me well for many years. There is a point where it is best to just reprint, however, I have seen some repairs in my career that have blown my mind..with a little creativity & patience.

+ sharpies, fine tip to dot in and mix colors to match.

Thanks. Sharpies were the obvious choice, just didn't know if there was some found/ tested better alternative.

I use Prismacolor Markers

The full set has about 144 colors (expensive, though - over $300). There are also the Pantone Tria Markers, but I haven't used those before.

I guess you could use the Sharpies for banners.

Markers can work, but I've found paint pens/markers to work far better.

Just had to do this on a banner we printed.

It was a trade for sponsorship spot and they misspelled another sponsor. Used cleaner and redid a couple of letters in Sharpie. Unless you get at the right angle, its really hard to tell.
