Best Paint Pens Markers Buying Guide
Before choosing the best paint pen you should consider following options:
1. Ink Color: This is something that you may not have considered, but it is something that you should be aware of. Often times, the ink color that a marker has will determine how useful it will be for you.
Think about what kind of ink you will need for the kind of job that you will be using the marker for. There are markers available with colored inks and markers with white inks.
If you are going to be writing on dark surfaces, you will need a marker with a white ink. However, if you are going to be writing on a light surface, you will be able to get away with a marker with colored ink.
2. Tip Size: The tip of a marker is what will determine how fine or how bold your writing will be.
If you are going to be writing on a whiteboard, a marker with a broad tip will be sufficient. However, if you are going to be writing on a blackboard, then a marker with a fine tip will be the best.
Keep in mind that a marker with a fine tip will provide you with greater control and precision. You will also be able to write for a longer period of time before the ink dries up.
3. Drying Time: No one wants to be stuck with a marker in their hand, writing on something and have the ink dry before they can finish.
They not only cause a mess, but they cause confusion and frustration. If the ink dries before you are finished, you may end up writing over the same spot multiple times.
This will cause the ink to spread and create an unprofessional image. Markers with a faster drying time will allow you to write for a longer period of time with greater control.
4. Tip Durability: The tip of a marker is what will determine how much you can use it. If the tip is not durable, then you will have to replace it often.
If you are going to be writing on a light surface, then it would be best to get a marker with a broad tip. However, if you are going to be writing on a dark surface, then a fine tip would be the best.
With a fine tip, you will be able to write on a dark surface for a longer period of time without the ink drying up.
5. Tip Replacement: Whether you are writing on a light or dark surface, the ink will eventually dry up.
When this happens, you will have to replace the tip of the marker. Before you purchase a marker, find out if the tip is easy to replace or not.
You may also want to find out if the marker comes with additional tips, so that you can replace it in the future.
