Product Information

Full details

The STAEDTLER Lumocolor Special Permanent Marker is designed for users needing to write on challenging, non-traditional surfaces like coated materials, nano coatings, optical lenses, and laboratory glass. Its key benefit is superior adhesion and permanence where standard markers fail, providing smudge-proof and waterproof marks. A caveat is that while ink is permanent on most surfaces, its longevity (e.g., red ink lasting 1 year) can vary on very smooth finishes. This fine-tip marker offers vividly colored, odorless, and fast-drying ink for reliable marking in specialized environments.

FAQs

What surfaces can the STAEDTLER Lumocolor Special marker be used on?

It is specifically designed for challenging surfaces such as coated materials, nano coatings, optical lenses, laboratory glass, plastics, and metal. It offers superior adhesion where standard markers may fail.

Is the ink permanent and waterproof?

Yes, the ink offers excellent smudge-proof and waterproof qualities on almost all surfaces.

How long does the ink last on a surface?

On smooth surfaces, black ink is lightfast for up to 7 years and weatherproof. Red ink is lightfast for up to 1 year. On paper, the ink lasts much longer. Durability can vary on extremely smooth or specialized nano-coated surfaces.

Is the ink odorless?

Yes, the ink is low odor, xylene-free, and toluene-free.

Can I use this marker on an airplane?

Yes, the marker features automatic pressure equalization, making it safe to use on board aircraft without leaking.

Is this marker suitable for left-handed users?

Yes, the ink dries extremely fast, in seconds, which is ideal for left-handed users to prevent smudging.

Can the marker be refilled?

No, this marker is not designed to be refilled.

Troubleshooting

Marker not writing or faint lines

Ensure the cap has been removed. If the marker has been stored for a long time, try gently shaking it. For optimal flow, store with the cap on and tip down. If still not writing, the ink may be depleted.

Ink smudging immediately after application

Verify that the surface is clean and dry before marking. Allow a few extra seconds for the ink to dry, especially on very smooth or non-porous surfaces. Ensure you are not rubbing the surface immediately after marking.

Ink bleeding or feathering on surface

This marker is designed for adherence to special surfaces. On some highly porous or untreated materials, bleeding might occur. Ensure the surface is appropriate for this specialized marker; it may perform differently than on coated or smooth materials.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent adhesion on specialized and challenging surfaces.
  • Permanent, waterproof, and smudge-proof markings.
  • Fast-drying ink is suitable for left-handed users.
  • Odorless, xylene-free, and toluene-free ink formulation.
  • Airplane-safe design prevents leaks during travel.
  • Good lightfastness, especially for black ink.

Cons

  • Limited longevity on certain ultra-smooth surfaces (e.g., red ink 1 year).
  • Primarily designed for special applications, may be overkill for general use.
  • Ink color range is limited (Red and Black available in this specific series).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This marker requires no setup. Simply remove the cap before use. For best results, ensure the surface to be marked is clean and dry.

Compatibility: Designed for a wide range of special surfaces including coated papers, plastics, glass (including optical lenses), metal, and nano-coated materials. It is generally not recommended for porous, untreated surfaces where standard markers suffice.

Care:

  1. Storage: Store the marker with the cap on and tip facing downwards to ensure optimal ink flow. Store horizontally or vertically with the cap on.
  2. Cleaning: If ink gets on skin, wash with soap and water. For accidental marks on hard, non-porous surfaces, try cleaning with a suitable solvent (test in an inconspicuous area first) or specialized cleaner. For washable surfaces, clean immediately with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
  3. Re-inking: This marker is not designed to be re-inked.
  4. Cap Off Time: Can be left uncapped for a period without drying out (check specific product details for extended times, but generally designed for resilience).
