chrome marker

Chrome markers come in several tip configurations: some are dual-tip with a 2 mm round end and a 0.7 mm extra-fine end, while others offer a medium broad chisel tip paired with a super brush nib.

Chrome markers perform best on smooth, non-absorbent surfaces such as glass, plastic, and metal. They are also commonly used on models, crafts, posters and on coated wood and ceramic surfaces.

Chrome marker inks are described as archival-quality, waterproof, lightfast and permanent. Some formulations are also acid-free and labeled non-toxic.

Dual-tip chrome markers pair a broader tip for bold strokes with an extra-fine tip for precision. To change line width, simply use the corresponding end of the marker—the broad end for thicker lines and the fine end for detailed work.

Chrome markers are commonly used for mirror repairs and chrome-plated touch-ups, as well as crafts, models, posters and other projects on metal, wood, ceramic and glass.

Before use: securely close the cap and shake the marker well to mix the ink, then press the tip onto paper until ink flows to prime it. Test on scrap material, and some markers also include a transparent ink window to monitor levels.

Descriptions note good coverage and opacity with a smudge-resistant, quick-drying formula and strong adhesion on suitable surfaces.
