Marker Schneider Electric Maxx 278 — Gold ink, Fine tip, Blue barrel

Schneider Electric Maxx 278 marker with gold ink and a fine tip provides precise, opaque metallic writing on a wide range of materials. The fine 0.8 mm line width and a blue-and-gold barrel make this paint marker suitable for detailed accents, labelling and decorative work on dark or light surfaces. The gold ink is formulated without toluene or xylene and is valve-controlled for reliable flow. Made in Germany, the marker offers good adhesion, abrasion resistance and durability on both rough and smooth substrates.

Advantages

The Maxx 278 delivers highly opaque gold markings that remain visible on dark backgrounds and metallic surfaces. Its fine tip enables precise lines and detailed work while the valve-controlled paint feed ensures consistent ink flow without sputtering. The ink adheres well to materials such as paper, plastic, glass, ceramics, metal, leather and rubber, and it resists fading, water and weather. Marks are abrasion-resistant and can withstand many etching and washing procedures; they are also heat-resistant up to 300°C. The formulation excludes toluene and xylene and the pen has a replaceable writing tip for extended use.

Suitable for

• Decorative accents and craft projects on dark or reflective surfaces
• Labelling tools, containers and metal parts where high contrast is needed
• Writing and marking on glass, ceramics and plastics for design and identification
• Fine detail work on leather, rubber and textured substrates

How to use

Shake the marker vigorously before use to mix the metallic pigment. Press the tip down briefly to activate the valve-controlled ink flow, then test on a spare surface to confirm the colour and flow. Write or draw with steady pressure for consistent lines; for bolder strokes, repeat passes once the first layer has dried. Allow sufficient drying time on non-porous materials. Replace the tip if worn to maintain a precise line width.

Usage recommendations

For best results on smooth or glossy surfaces such as glass and metal, clean and degrease the area before marking. Store horizontally when not in use to ensure even ink distribution. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to preserve metallic sheen. Use in well-ventilated areas and follow local disposal regulations for solvent-based marker waste.
