tile pen

Tip sizes vary by product. Common options include extra-fine tips around 0.7 mm, medium tips near 5.0 mm, and broader brush or blocked (maxi) tips up to about 6 mm. Some brush-style tips are specified with a variable 1–6 mm range.

Different marker systems start differently. Some water-based acrylic pens require shaking and pressing the tip until the color flows; others use a direct-flow mechanism that needs no pumping and is ready to use when uncapped.

Permanence varies by product. Some acrylic marker sets are described as water-resistant and lightfast or fade-resistant once dry, while washable felt-tip markers are noted as easy to remove. Not every listing specifies water resistance or outdoor durability, so check the product details for each marker’s claims before assuming permanence.

Packaging varies by set. Many multi-packs are sold grouped in boxes, and some marker sets include a portable fabric bag or roll with elastic loops to hold each marker for organized storage and transport.

Common ink types include water-based acrylic and acrylic paint formulas, washable felt-tip inks, and dimensional or gel formulas that create a raised finish.

These pens are often marketed for multiple surfaces, including glass, wood, metal, paper, stone/rock, plastic, concrete, and fabric, in addition to ceramic tiles.
