Product Information

Full details

The Staedtler Lumocolor 351-2 whiteboard marker in red is designed for clear, easy-to-read writing on whiteboards and smooth surfaces like glass and porcelain. Its key benefit is the 'Dry Safe' feature, allowing it to be left uncapped for days without drying out, reducing waste and inconvenience. A potential caveat is that it's a single unit, so users needing multiple colors will need to purchase them separately.

FAQs

How long can this marker be left uncapped?

The Staedtler Lumocolor 351-2 marker features 'Dry Safe' technology, meaning it can be left uncapped for several days without drying out, as tested according to ISO 554.

What surfaces can I use this marker on?

This marker is ideal for whiteboards, glass, and porcelain. It can also be dry-wiped from other smooth, non-porous surfaces.

How do I erase markings made with this marker?

Markings can typically be dry-wiped from compatible surfaces without residue. For stubborn marks, a damp cloth or a standard whiteboard cleaner can be used.

Is the ink permanent?

No, the ink is specifically designed to be easily erasable from whiteboards and similar surfaces. It is not intended for permanent marking.

Can I refill this marker?

Yes, the Staedtler Lumocolor 351-2 marker is refillable. You can use the Lumocolor refill station (488 51) to refill the marker.

What is the stroke width of the bullet tip?

The bullet tip writes an approximately 2mm line, providing a clear and consistent stroke width suitable for general writing and drawing on whiteboards.

What does 'Airplane Safe' mean?

The 'Airplane Safe' feature means the marker has automatic pressure equalization, which prevents it from leaking due to changes in air pressure during flights.

Troubleshooting

Marker not writing or skipping

Ensure the cap has been securely replaced after the last use. If the marker has been left uncapped for an extended period beyond its Dry Safe capability, try rehydrating the tip by dipping it briefly in water or leaving the marker tip-down in a small amount of water for a few minutes, then recap and allow it to rest. Check if the marker is refillable and consider refilling if empty.

Ink smudging after writing

Allow the ink to dry completely before touching the writing. Ensure you are writing on a clean, dry surface. If smudging persists, the surface may not be compatible or may have a residue that prevents proper ink adhesion and drying.

Ink is difficult to erase completely

Use a dedicated whiteboard cleaner for stubborn marks. Ensure the whiteboard surface is clean and free from permanent marker residue. For very stubborn marks, try writing over them with a permanent marker and then immediately erasing both; sometimes this can lift the permanent ink. If the issue persists, the whiteboard surface may be damaged or worn.

Marker leaked during flight

This marker features automatic pressure equalization to prevent leaks. If a leak occurred, ensure the cap was properly secured. Check for any cracks in the barrel or cap that might compromise the seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care:

  1. Recapping: Always replace the cap after use to ensure longevity, though the Dry Safe feature provides a buffer.

  3. Refilling: To refill, use the Staedtler Lumocolor refill station (488 51). Follow the instructions provided with the refill station.
  4. Cleaning: To clean the marker tip if it becomes clogged, gently wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. Ensure the tip is completely dry before recapping.
