The different types and uses of markers
Markers are versatile writing, drawing and colouring tools with a variety of types designed for different purposes. Here are just a few examples of our most popular marker products.
Permanent markers: a type of marker pen that uses quick-drying ink designed to write on a variety of surfaces, such as
paper, plastic, metal, or glass. The ink is usually water-resistant and does not easily erase or wash off.
Whiteboard markers: a type of marker pen with erasable ink designed for writing on whiteboards. The ink is non-permanent, dries quickly, and can be easily wiped off with a cloth or eraser.
Paint markers: a paint marker is a marker that uses paint instead of ink, making it ideal for a wide range of surfaces such as metal, glass, wood, plastic, and more. The paint is typically opaque, durable, and resistant to fading or smudging.
