1. you should try to use a few drops of rubbing alcholol in the end were you can open the marker then set it upright with the top that writes pointing down that should help
2. I was a preschool teacher and this happened a lot. You just put a couple of drops of vinegar in the marker. Dampen the tip a little with it as well. They will work again.
3. You can try moistening the market tips by dipping them in a bit of water. Then shake the marker with your wrist which should push the ink in the marker into the tip. That should squeeze a bit more life out of your marker ink. http://inkjetinkcartridge.net/index.php?category=Canon
