The first marker pen was patented in 1910 by Lee Newman who utilized a soft tip made of hard-pressed felt. Generally speaking, all marker pens have their own ink source with a porous tip made from felt or ceramic materials. They first hit the U.S. market in the 1960s and very quickly became a must-have writing tool. Their instant popularity led to the creation of better markers designed for expanded applications at home, work and in the classroom. Today, marker pens are an incredibly smooth writing instrument with liquid ink technology that resists bleeding through the thinnest paper. Many different colours, styles, and tip widths are readily available. The quick drying water-based ink helps combat smudging and smearing and is nontoxic. Pilot has implemented a special tip feed technology that prevents the pens from drying out when the cap is accidentally left off for long periods of time. Like other Pilot pens, they are great for signing, marking faxes, and have a visible ink supply to alert for refills.

About Pilot

Pilot is a global Japanese brand known for innovation and quality writing instruments. In Australia, Pilot is the brand of choice amongst consumers looking for a smooth writing experience combined with quality and reliability. The Pilot range is extensive, covering premium gold nib fountain pens to everyday ballpoint pens and markers. Most pens are manufactured in Japan, with some also made in France and the US.

Innovation is a key to Pilot’s global success. In 2005 Pilot created ‘FriXion’, Australia’s best selling erasable pen. FriXion uses a unique thermo-sensitive gel ink. The friction caused by rubbing the paper generates heat which causes the ink to become invisible. With no damage to the paper, you can erase and instantly re-write over your mistakes.
