Lumocolor

Lumocolor is a line of markers and pens produced by Staedtler, designed for writing on a variety of surfaces. The range includes permanent markers for non-porous surfaces such as plastic, glass, metal, and specialized labels, as well as non-permanent markers intended for dry-erase surfaces like whiteboards and flip charts. The inks are formulated to dry quickly and be resistant to smudging on appropriate substrates.

Permanent Lumocolor markers typically use alcohol-based inks that adhere to non-porous materials and offer waterproof or weather-resistant results once dry. Non-permanent Lumocolor markers are designed to be easily removable from dry-erase boards with standard cleaning solutions or dry erasing cloths.

Tip options vary by model, with fine, bullet, and broad/chisel tips available to suit labeling, drawing, or marking tasks. The Lumocolor line also includes discs labeling markers for CDs and DVDs, which use a thinner, fast-drying ink suitable for plastic disc surfaces.

Lumocolor markers are widely used in offices, classrooms, arts and crafts, and by hobbyists for labeling, annotating, and color-coding. Staedtler positions Lumocolor as a versatile family of markers with products intended for both temporary and permanent marking tasks, depending on the surface and ink type.
