Marker

type of writing tool

A marker is a writing device that allows a person to draw, write, or scribble. Ink comes out of the tip of the marker and onto the writing surface, commonly a piece of paper. Markers generally come in a variety of different colors. They are sometimes referred to as "magic markers", or magic pens.

A Highlighter Marker

The tip of the marker where ink comes out from is usually made of cloth. This allows the ink to go through easily. A lot of ink can come out from it at one time.

Marker types change

  • Whiteboard markers are marker pens in which the ink can be rubbed out easily with tissues or dusters.
  • Permanent markers are markers which the ink cannot be rubbed off.
