TIMCO permanent marker pens in black with a fine tip. Water and UV resistant, quick drying, and built to last longer than standard felt tip markers. Writes on cardboard, paper, plastic, glass, tile, metal, masonry and wood.
These TIMCO black marker pens are proper site markers. Not the kind that fade after a week on a pallet or bleed straight through cardboard. The fine tip gives you clear, precise lines on just about any surface you’ll come across on a job — wood, metal, tile, masonry, plastic, glass, paper. If you need to mark it, these will do it.
They use a free flow cartridge rather than a standard reservoir design. In practice, that means the ink feeds more consistently and the marks stay bolder for longer. TIMCO test these against standard felt tip marker pens and rate them at 30% longer life, which adds up quickly when you’re getting through pens on a busy site. Better value than it might look at first glance.
Why These Black Marker Pens Work Well on Site
The ink is water resistant, so a bit of rain or condensation won’t wipe your marks off before you’ve had chance to act on them. UV resistance matters too if you’re marking materials left outside — standard markers can fade to almost nothing after a few days in direct sun. These hold their colour better than most.
Drying time is quick, which matters when you’re marking and moving fast. No smearing, no waiting around. The fine tip keeps marks legible rather than producing the broad blurry lines you get from worn-out markers that have been rolling around in a toolbox for six months.
Sold in a two-pack, which means you’ve got a spare when the first one inevitably disappears. At this price, it makes sense to keep a few packs on the van.
Pro Tip: Store markers horizontally when not in use rather than tip-down, as this keeps ink distribution even and prevents the nib from becoming oversaturated and bleeding on finer surfaces.
These black marker pens are used across trades wherever clear, lasting marks are needed. Carpenters and joiners use them for measuring and cut lines on timber. Roofers and cladding installers mark sheet materials. Electricians and plumbers label pipes, conduit and cables. They work equally well on smooth surfaces like glass and tile as on porous ones like masonry and untreated wood, making them one of the few markers that genuinely travels between trades without issue.

Not suitable for: Not ideal where a thick, highly visible line is needed at a distance — consider a chisel tip marker for that. These are fine tip pens, suited to detailed marking rather than broad layout lines.
Remove the cap and mark directly onto the surface. The free flow cartridge feeds ink consistently so there is no need to press hard or shake the pen. Allow a few seconds to dry before handling the marked surface, particularly on smooth non-porous materials like glass or glazed tile.
Remove the cap from the marker pen
Mark directly onto the surface using light, steady pressure
Allow the ink to dry briefly before touching, especially on smooth surfaces
Replace the cap firmly after use to prevent the nib drying out
Will these marker pens write on wet or damp surfaces?
The ink is water resistant once dry, but for best results mark onto dry surfaces. On very wet or saturated material the ink may not adhere cleanly. If marking outside in damp conditions, wipe the surface first where possible.
Are these permanent markers suitable for marking PVC conduit and plastic pipe?
Yes, they work well on most plastics including PVC conduit, pipe and trunking. The ink dries quickly and bonds to the surface without smearing, making them a practical choice for labelling electrical and plumbing runs.
TIMCO permanent black marker pens use a free flow cartridge ink system rather than a traditional felt reservoir. This delivers more consistent ink flow and a longer usable life. The ink is formulated to resist water and UV degradation, with a quick drying characteristic that reduces smearing on smooth surfaces. Fine tip nib for detailed marking work.
