Rollerball pen Schneider Electric Maxx 278 — Black ink, 1 colour, blue barrel

Schneider Electric Maxx 278 is a rollerball pen with black ink supplied in a blue-coloured barrel. The instrument is designed for everyday writing tasks, note-taking and office use, offering a reliable ink flow and comfortable handling. The ink formulation is free of xylene and toluene and is delivered through a valve-controlled system. The pen features a fine tip that produces a line width of approximately 0.8 mm and comes with a replaceable writing tip; each unit is individually shrink-wrapped.

Advantages

The Schneider Electric Maxx 278 combines a fine 0.8 mm line with a valve-controlled ink feed for consistent, highly opaque black lines on a wide range of surfaces. Its ink provides good adhesion, abrasion resistance, lightfastness and water and weather resistance, while the absence of toluene and xylene reduces exposure to those solvents. The blue barrel offers clear product identification and the replaceable tip extends the usable life of the pen.

Suitable for

• Everyday writing and note-taking in office or home settings
• Marking and labelling on paper, plastic and cardboard
• Decorative marking on smooth and rough surfaces such as glass, ceramics and metal
• Applications requiring abrasion-resistant, lightfast and water-resistant marks

How to use

Remove the shrink-wrap and cap before first use. Hold the pen at a comfortable angle and apply light, even pressure to allow the valve-controlled ink to flow to the tip; avoid excessive force to extend tip life. For marking on non-porous surfaces such as glass or metal, test on a small area first. Replace the writing tip when lines become faint or uneven to restore original performance.

Usage recommendations

Store the pen horizontally when not in use to maintain consistent ink flow. Keep capped between uses to prevent drying. Use on clean, dry surfaces for best adhesion and durability of marks; allow ink to dry fully before exposing marked items to water, heat or mechanical abrasion.
