A good marker pen needs to have the following key characteristics:
Ink type: Marker pens are divided into oil-based pens, water-based pens, and acrylic pens according to their ink type. Oil-based pens contain organic solvents such as alcohol, are quick-drying and have good layering effects, but have a pungent smell; water-based pens are composed of water, additives and pigments, the colors are transparent and bright, but they cannot be layered and cannot dry quickly; acrylic pens are made of pigment powder and acrylic emulsion, dry quickly, can be layered, and are waterproof and do not fade.
Nib characteristics: Marker pen nibs come in three types: round, oblique, and soft nibs. Round nibs are suitable for drawing details and signing; oblique nibs are suitable for large-area coloring and drawing lines; soft nibs are suitable for illustration design and cartoon characters, with soft, smooth strokes that do not break the color.
Pen body shape: Marker pens have round, square-round, and triangular barrels. Round barrels are round and comfortable to hold, suitable for children or beginners; square-round barrels fit the fingers for a comfortable grip; triangular barrels are ergonomically designed to help master the correct grip.
Waterproof and oil-proof: Good marker pens should have waterproof and oil-proof properties to ensure that the color is firm and does not fade after writing or painting, maintaining clear marks whether for art preservation or long-term use on construction sites.
Safety: Choose marker pens with small holes in the pen caps to avoid suffocation risks. At the same time, pay attention to relevant safety standards (such as GB 21027-2020 and QB/T 2777-2015) to ensure that you purchase safe and high-quality products.
Applicable scenarios: Marker pens of different types and characteristics are suitable for different scenarios. For example, oil-based ink quick-drying marker pens are suitable for scenarios requiring quick drying, while water-based ink marker pens are suitable for scenarios requiring delicate colors.
