Marker chalk-style PENTEL Jumbo SMW56 red — broad tip, water-based ink

PENTEL Jumbo SMW56 red is a chalk-style marker designed for clear, highly visible writing and drawing on non-porous surfaces. The marker’s broad tip produces thick lines suitable for large lettering, headlines and signage. The water-based ink lays down an opaque, matte red that is removable from glass, whiteboards, mirrors and chalkboards with a damp cloth or suitable cleaner, making it practical for temporary signs and shop displays.

Advantages

The broad nib delivers consistent, bold strokes that remain legible from a distance. Water-based ink reduces odour compared with solvent-based alternatives and allows for easy cleaning from compatible smooth surfaces. The marker’s chalk-style finish provides a matte look that mimics traditional chalk while offering the convenience of a pen-style applicator. The durable tip maintains shape during regular use for uniform line width.

Suitable for

• Shop windows and retail displays
• Temporary signage and price tags on non-porous surfaces
• Cafés and restaurants for menu boards and daily specials
• Classroom whiteboards, mirrors and reusable boards
• Creative projects on glass or sealed chalkboards

Key specifications

• Color: red
• Finish: matte, opaque coverage

How to use

Shake the marker well before use to ensure even pigment distribution. Press the tip gently onto the surface to start the ink flow and test on a small area if necessary. Apply steady strokes for uniform lines; hold the marker at different angles to vary line width. Allow the ink to dry briefly to avoid smudging. For removal, wipe the marked area with a damp cloth or an appropriate cleaner suitable for the surface.

Usage recommendations

Store the marker horizontally when not in use and recap securely to prevent the tip from drying. Avoid using on porous, untreated wood or paper where the ink may stain. For long-term displays, test adhesion and removability on a small area first. If stronger removal is required, use a non-abrasive glass cleaner or alcohol-based solution compatible with the surface.
