Product Information
Full details
The Pentel Permanent Marker (NM470-A) is designed for professionals and hobbyists who require precise, reliable marking across diverse surfaces ranging from metal and glass to wood and vinyl. With its fine 1mm line width and quick-drying, waterproof ink, it serves as an essential tool for industrial labeling, crafting, and organizing; however, users should note that while the ink is low-odor, it is permanent and may require specialized solvents for removal from non-porous surfaces.

FAQs
Can I use these markers on a whiteboard?
No, these are permanent markers and will not erase like dedicated dry-erase markers.
What surfaces work best with this marker?
They work excellently on metal, glass, wood, plastic, vinyl, and card.
Is the ink really waterproof?
Yes, the ink is formulated to be waterproof and fade-resistant once dry.
How long can I leave the cap off?
The markers feature a 24-hour cap-off time before they start to dry out.
How do I remove the ink from a surface?
Since the ink is permanent, you may need an alcohol-based cleaner or a solvent designed for permanent ink removal.
Are these markers toxic?
They feature a low-odour formulation, but they should still be used in a well-ventilated area and kept away from children.
Troubleshooting
Ink flow appears faint or light
Store the marker with the cap side down for one hour to allow gravity to pull ink to the tip.
Marker tip has become clogged with dust or debris
Gently wipe the tip with a cloth dampened with a small amount of rubbing alcohol.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent adhesion on non-porous surfaces like glass and metal
- Low-odour formula is more pleasant for indoor use than standard permanent markers
- Impressive 24-hour cap-off resistance prevents wasted markers
- Precise 1mm line width is ideal for labels and detailed tasks
Cons
- Not intended for use on whiteboards (permanent ink)
- Requires proper storage to maximize the lifespan of the 12-pack
- Removal from surfaces like glass requires specific cleaners
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Using the Pentel Permanent Marker requires no special setup. To ensure maximum longevity, always ensure the cap is pressed firmly until it clicks to prevent ink evaporation when not in use. While the marker is compatible with a wide array of materials, it is recommended to test the ink on an inconspicuous area if you are concerned about surface damage. Store the markers horizontally to keep the tip saturated with ink. If the tip appears dry after accidental extended exposure to air, replacing the cap and storing it tip-down for an hour can often revive the flow.
