Start with the surface
Paper, whiteboard, glass, metal, plastic, cardboard and fabric need different ink chemistry.
Pick ink behaviour
Permanent, erasable, water-based, alcohol-based, paint and chalk markers behave differently after drying.
Choose the tip
Fine, bullet, chisel, brush and broad tips change line width, control and coverage.
Plan colour and refills
Sets help consistency, while refillable or replaceable-tip markers reduce waste in frequent use.
Are permanent markers permanent on every surface?
No. Porous surfaces hold ink better, while glossy surfaces may need paint markers or special ink.
What is the difference between whiteboard and permanent markers?
Whiteboard markers are designed to erase from compatible boards; permanent markers are not.
Which tip is best for labels?
Fine or bullet tips are usually best for readable labels, while chisel tips cover larger areas.
