Permanent Marker Sakura Identi Pen XYKT12 — brown, waterproof, low-odor, dual tips (fine and broad)

Sakura Identi Pen XYKT12 is a brown permanent marker designed for clear, long-lasting marking on many surfaces. Its waterproof ink resists smudging and fading after drying, while the low-odor formulation reduces fumes during indoor use. The marker has two tips — a fine tip for precise lines and writing, and a broad tip for filling, highlighting or covering larger areas — providing versatility for labeling, crafts and industrial tasks.

Advantages

The dual-tip construction combines precision and coverage in one tool, eliminating the need to switch markers for different tasks. Waterproof, quick-drying pigment ink ensures marks remain legible on paper, cardboard, plastic and other common substrates. The low-odor formula improves comfort in confined spaces and workshops. The durable barrel and cap secure the tips and help prevent accidental drying when not in use.

Suitable for

• Permanent labeling on cardboard, paper and coated surfaces
• Writing and numbering in warehouses and workshops
• Arts and crafts requiring both fine detail and area filling
• Home organization, storage marking and seasonal projects

When it may not be suitable

This marker is intended for general-purpose marking; it may not perform optimally on highly glossy non-porous surfaces such as certain metals, glass or slick plastics where specialized markers are required for adhesion. Although the ink is waterproof once dry, it is not formulated for continuous outdoor exposure on surfaces that undergo heavy abrasion or frequent contact with solvents.

Key specifications

• Ink color: brown
• Ink properties: waterproof, quick-drying, low-odor
• Tip types: two tips — fine and broad
• Applications: marking, labeling, crafts, industrial use
• Barrel: handheld marker with protective cap

How to use

Shake the marker gently before use if recommended by the manufacturer, then test on scrap material to confirm stroke width and ink flow. Use the fine tip for writing, numbering and precise lines; use the broad tip to fill larger areas or make bold marks. Allow the ink to dry fully to achieve waterproof properties. Replace the cap after use to prevent the tips from drying out.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm brown ink meets your visibility and contrast needs on the intended surfaces
• Check compatibility with the specific materials you plan to mark (porous vs non-porous)
• Consider ventilation requirements if using multiple markers in confined spaces, despite low-odor formulation
• Assess whether a dedicated marker for glass, metal or solvent-exposed items is needed

Usage recommendations

For best results, store horizontally when not in use to maintain even ink distribution between tips. When marking important items, allow extra drying time and avoid rubbing the marked area until the ink is fully set.
