Marker Faber-Castell TL 46, silver ink, single piece, metallic silver body

Faber-Castell TL 46 is a single-piece marker with metallic silver ink and a silver-coloured body, supplied as one piece per pack. Designed for craft, decoration, labelling and highlighting on paper and similar surfaces, this compact marker offers metallic silver writing and a durable chisel tip that supports precise lines and varied stroke widths. The silver ink produces a shimmering effect that changes subtly with different lighting conditions, making it suitable for both everyday marking and creative projects.

Advantages

The metallic silver ink provides a consistent, shimmering finish with even colour laydown on popular paper types without fully covering the substrate. A long-lasting chisel tip allows marking in three line widths for flexible use: fine, medium and broad strokes. The pen’s compact, single-piece design is easy to handle and suitable for office, school and hobby environments. Water-based ink reduces odor compared with solvent-based markers and achieves good marking results on non-coated paper.

Suitable for

• Highlighting and decorating paper documents
• Bullet journaling and creative hand lettering
• Labelling folders, cards and gift tags
• Everyday office and school marking tasks

Key specifications

• Ink colour: metallic silver

How to use

Shake the marker gently if recommended by the manufacturer, then test on a scrap piece of paper to check the metallic effect and line width. Use the chisel tip flat for broader strokes and at an angle for narrower lines. Apply evenly with light pressure for best shimmer and avoid pressing too hard to preserve the tip. For best results on paper, allow the ink to dry before touching or stacking sheets.

Usage recommendations

Store the marker horizontally when not in use to maintain ink flow. Use on uncoated or lightly textured paper for optimal metallic effect; avoid use on very glossy or non-porous surfaces. If increased shimmer is desired, illuminate the marked area with a directed light source to accentuate the metallic finish.
