The high-quality red ink is formulated to adhere to a wide variety of surfaces, ensuring that your marks remain visible and permanent even under challenging conditions.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this dual-tip marker is its exceptional versatility, which eliminates the need to carry multiple writing instruments for different tasks. The robust barrel design is built to withstand the rigors of daily industrial use, while the specialized ink formula provides excellent resistance to smearing and fading.

Suitable for

• Marking on metal, wood, plastic, and glass surfaces
• Layout work and precision labeling in construction
• Inventory management and shipping logistics
• General maintenance and repair tasks in workshops

When it may not be suitable

This marker may not be ideal for use on surfaces that are heavily coated in oil, grease, or loose dust, as these can interfere with ink adhesion. Additionally, it is not intended for use on porous materials where the ink might bleed excessively or on surfaces requiring specialized chemical-resistant or high-temperature markings.

Key specifications

• Ink color: Red
• Tip sizes: 0.8mm and 1.5mm
• Permanent, quick-drying ink formula
• Durable barrel construction for industrial use

How to use

To use the marker, simply remove the cap corresponding to the desired tip size. For fine lines, utilize the 0.8mm tip, and for thicker, more visible marks, use the 1.5mm tip. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before application to achieve the best results. Always replace the cap securely after use to prevent the ink from drying out and to maintain the longevity of the tips.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the red ink color meets your specific visibility or color-coding requirements.
• Ensure the surface materials you intend to mark are compatible with standard permanent ink.
• Consider the environmental conditions of your workspace to ensure the marker's durability meets your needs.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, store the marker in a horizontal position when not in use. This helps maintain consistent ink flow to both tips and prevents premature drying.
