Product Information

Full details

The Staedtler Lumocolor Non-Permanent Universal Pen (315 WP8) is designed for professionals and creatives needing vibrant, easily erasable marking on overhead projector (OHP) film and a wide range of other smooth surfaces. Its key benefit is the water-soluble, fast-drying ink that prevents smudging and can be wiped clean from film, making it ideal for presentations. A minor caveat is that while versatile, its non-permanent nature means it's not suitable for permanent labeling needs.

FAQs

Are these pens permanent?

No, the Staedtler Lumocolor 315 series pens are non-permanent. The ink is water-soluble and can be easily wiped off overhead projector film and some other surfaces with a damp cloth.

What surfaces can I use these pens on?

They are designed for overhead projector film but also work well on glass, CDs, plastic, porcelain, wood, and leather.

How long can I leave the cap off?

How do I clean the ink off film?

Simply use a damp cloth to wipe the ink away from the OHP film.

What is the tip size of these pens?

Troubleshooting

Pen skipping or not writing smoothly

Ensure the cap has been on the pen for less than 2 days. If it has been longer, try scribbling on a scrap piece of paper to re-ink the tip. Check that the surface is clean and dry.

Ink smudging after writing

Allow a few extra seconds for the ink to dry completely, especially in humid conditions. Ensure you are using the pen as intended on compatible surfaces.

Ink won't wipe off film completely

Use a slightly damp cloth. For very stubborn marks, a mild, non-abrasive cleaning solution suitable for plastics might be necessary, but test in an inconspicuous area first.

Pen dried out after being uncapped

If the pen was left uncapped for more than 2 days, the ink may have dried. Try re-inking the tip by scribbling on scrap paper. If it still doesn't write, the pen may need to be replaced.
