Felt pen Staedtler 314-9 BK-1 — permanent black marker, Germany origin

Staedtler 314-9 BK-1 is a permanent black felt-tip pen manufactured in Germany for applications that require durable, fade-resistant markings. The pen dispenses intense black pigment that adheres to a variety of surfaces and is intended for office, school and industrial labeling and marking tasks where permanence is important.

Advantages

The pen delivers a consistent, dark black line with quick-drying ink that resists smudging and fading. Its felt tip provides controlled ink flow for both writing and marking, while the robust tip shape maintains shape during repeated use. The product is assembled with attention to material efficiency and packaging that reflects recycled-plastic content.

Suitable for

• Permanent marking on paper, cardboard and labels
• Writing and numbering of files, folders and forms
• Marking on coated or laminated surfaces where permanent ink is required
• General office, school and light industrial labeling tasks

When it may not be suitable

This permanent marker is not intended for applications requiring removable or erasable ink; marks made with it are designed to be long-lasting and difficult to remove. It may be unsuitable for delicate fabrics or surfaces where solvent-based permanent ink could cause staining or damage.

Key specifications

• Ink color: black
• Tip type: felt-tip (firm tip suitable for consistent lines)
• Line quality: permanent, fade-resistant marking
• Drying: quick-drying, smudge-resistant
• Typical uses: writing, drawing, labeling on multiple surfaces
• Origin: manufactured in Germany

How to use

Shake the pen gently if recommended by the manufacturer, remove the cap and test on a scrap surface to confirm line thickness. Apply steady pressure for a continuous black line; for finer control use light pressure, for darker, broader strokes press slightly firmer. Replace the cap securely after use to prevent the tip from drying out.

What to consider before purchase

• Permanent nature of the ink — not suitable where removability is required
• Compatibility with the surfaces you plan to mark (test on an inconspicuous area if necessary)
• Intended line thickness and tip firmness for your tasks
• Storage conditions to preserve ink life (cap on, away from extreme heat)

Recommendations

For best results, test the marker on a small area before full application. Use on dry, clean surfaces and store horizontally or with the cap securely closed to maintain consistent ink flow and tip condition.
